The Note Status plugin introduces a flexible system for tracking the progress and state of your notes using customizable statuses like active, completed, or on hold. It integrates directly into the toolbar, status bar, file explorer, and a dedicated status pane, giving users multiple ways to assign, view, and manage statuses. You can batch-update files, apply multiple statuses to a single note, and organize your workflow with built-in or user-defined templates. The plugin also supports YAML frontmatter integration and deep customization.
