GithubAuto Move On Property
Auto Move On Property is an Obsidian plugin that moves notes into folders based on YAML frontmatter values.

What it does
- Watches notes in the vault root and any folders you choose
- Checks note properties for matching property/value rules
- Moves matching notes to the folder set in the rule
- Supports single-value properties and YAML list properties
Example
The property name can be any YAML property you use in your own notes.
For example, this rule:
| Property | Value | Folder |
|---|---|---|
| project-status | active | Active Projects |
matches a single-line frontmatter value:
---
project-status: active
---
It also matches the same value in a YAML list:
---
project-status:
- active
- waiting
---
In either case, the note is moved to Active Projects/.
Settings
- Always watch vault root: include notes saved at the top level of the vault.
- Watched folders: comma-separated list of additional folders to monitor.
- Show move notifications: show a notice when a note is moved.
- Show debug notifications: show troubleshooting notices while rules are checked.
Move Rules
Each rule has three fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Property | The frontmatter key to check |
| Value | The value that triggers the move |
| Folder | The destination folder |
New rules appear at the top of the list. Use the filter box to narrow long rule lists.
