Project Cockpit

An Obsidian plugin that replaces the new tab with a project dashboard — all your active work at a glance.

Project Cockpit Screenshot

Features

  • Projects — cards with status badges (Active / Paused / Done), TODO count, and last-modified time. Filter by status.
  • Open TODOs — all unchecked - [ ] items across your projects, grouped by project. Click to check off inline or open the file.
  • Recent Sessions — the last files you edited, with project and timestamp.
  • Journal Heatmap — GitHub-style activity grid of the last 52 weeks. Reads your journal folder by filename (YYYY-MM-DD.md) or datum frontmatter.
  • Mini Graph — force-directed graph of links between your project files. Drag, zoom, and pan. Double-click to reset.
  • Stats Bar — active projects, open TODOs, journal entries this week, and current streak.
  • Backlinks Panel — the 7 most linked files within your projects folder.
  • Quick Actions — one click to create a new session, journal entry, or idea from a template.

Installation

From the Community Plugin Store

Search for Project Cockpit in Settings → Community Plugins.

Manual

  1. Download main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json from the latest release.
  2. Copy them into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/project-cockpit/.
  3. Enable the plugin in Settings → Community Plugins.

Configuration

Open Settings → Project Cockpit to configure:

Setting Default Description
Projects folder 01_Projekte Root folder scanned for project subfolders
Journal folder 04_Journal Folder containing your daily notes
Template — New Session 05_Templates/Projekt-Session.md Template used by the New Session quick action
Template — Journal 05_Templates/Journal.md Template used by the Journal heute quick action
Template — New Idea 05_Templates/Idee.md Template used by the Neue Idee quick action

Project structure expected

Each project is a subfolder inside your projects folder. The plugin identifies the hub file by name — a .md file with the same name as its folder, placed as a sibling:

01_Projekte/
  My-Project/             ← session and note files go here
    Session-2026-04-17.md
    notes.md
  My-Project.md           ← hub file (same name as folder, frontmatter: status: active)

Supported status values: active / aktiv, paused / pause, done / abgeschlossen.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm dev        # watch mode
pnpm build      # production build
pnpm lint       # ESLint
pnpm typecheck  # TypeScript

The plugin folder is symlinked into a local Obsidian vault for live testing.
