GithubNote Age Highlighter
An Obsidian plugin that highlights notes in the file explorer when they haven't been modified for a configurable number of days.
The Problem
Your vault grows. Old notes get buried and forgotten. There's no visual signal that a note hasn't been touched in weeks or months.
The Solution
Note Age Highlighter scans your vault and highlights stale notes directly in the file explorer. You set the threshold — the plugin does the rest.
Features
- Highlights notes older than N days in the file explorer
- Configurable threshold in days (default: 30)
- Configurable highlight color (default: #ff6b6b)
- Uses mtime (last modified time), not creation date
- Changes apply instantly when you update settings
- Lightweight — no external dependencies
Settings
- Threshold in days — notes not modified for longer than this will be highlighted
- Highlight color — any valid CSS color value (e.g.
#ff6b6b,tomato,rgb(255,107,107))
