Usage
Add the property to a note's frontmatter:
---
hidden-until: 2026-08-01
---
The note disappears from the file explorer until 2026-08-01 (local time), then reappears automatically — no reload needed.
Settings
- Hidden-until property — the frontmatter property name to check. Defaults to
hidden-until.
Notes
- Only the file explorer is affected. The note is otherwise unchanged: still searchable, still openable via Quick Switcher/links, still fully readable.
- Missing property, empty value, or an unparseable date all mean "not hidden".
- Accepts plain dates (
2026-08-01) as well as full datetimes.
