Daily Routine

Daily Routine

Daily Routine is an Obsidian plugin for tracking recurring tasks and building daily habits. Define your routines once — weekly, monthly, or on a custom interval — and the plugin generates a daily checklist note for you, every day, automatically.

Key Features

• Routines — recurring tasks scheduled by weekday, day of month, or every N days
• Todos — one-time tasks for a specific date
• Groups — organize routines into collapsible groups
• Tags — attach tags to a routine; they are appended to its task line in the daily note, so they work with tag queries, Dataview, and other task plugins
• Calendar — see scheduled tasks at a glance, month by month
• Achievement — visual statistics of your completion rate and consistency
• Mobile support — works on phones and tablets, including drag-and-drop reordering

How It Works

Routine Note

Every day, Daily Routine creates a plain Markdown note containing that day's tasks — similar to Obsidian's Daily Notes. Your data is never locked in: notes stay readable and editable even without the plugin.

Notes are stored in the {your-routine-folder}/notes directory.

Routine

A routine is a recurring task. Three schedule types are supported:

• Week — pick the weekdays it repeats on (e.g. every Mon/Wed/Fri)
• Month — pick days of the month (e.g. the 1st and the 15th; Last day is supported)
• Interval — repeat every N days from a start date (e.g. every 3 days, or every 90 days for low-frequency chores)

Each routine is stored as a Markdown file with its schedule in the frontmatter, so you can inspect or edit it by hand. Routines can also carry tags, which are appended to the generated task line (- [ ] [[Workout]] #health) for use with other plugins and queries.

Todo

Todos are ordinary one-time tasks tied to a date. Reschedule them to another day from the task menu when plans change.

Calendar

The calendar shows tasks that have Show on calendar enabled, so you can see your schedule month by month. Both routines and todos can appear here.

Achievement

Track your overall completion rate and per-routine consistency over time with visual statistics.
