How It Works

Place a > [!progress] callout directly above a checklist block. The plugin will automatically calculate how many items are checked and update the progress bar in real time as you tick things off.

> [!progress] ███████████░░░░░░░░░ 9/16 (56%)

No configuration needed — just drop in the callout and start checking things off.

Usage

1. Open any note with a checklist
2. Add the following line directly above your list:

> [!progress]

3. The progress bar updates automatically as you check and uncheck items

Note: The > [!progress] line must appear directly before your checklist block. Items are counted from that line down to the next progress bar or end of file.
