#status#bar#indicator

The YouHaveBeenStaring plugin is a clever addition to Obsidian that keeps you aware of how long you've been staring at your vault. With this plugin, you'll get a natural language reminder in the status bar about the time since you started using Obsidian, as well as the total cumulative time you've spent staring at your vault. This subtle nudge can help you take breaks and avoid prolonged screen time. The plugin also allows customization of the display text and offers an option to show actual time instead of humanized output.

Obsidian Plugin YouHaveBeenStaring

This is a plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).

It tells you in natural language in the status bar for how long your vault is open (since how long ago the plugin was loaded). Also for how long you had your vault open in total, but that's optional.

A sweet, short and subtle reminder that you might want to take a break from staring at your screen 🧐.

Features

  • Show for how long you've been staring at your vault since startup of obsidian in the status bar
  • Show total staring time (measured in increments of 1s whenever the plugin is active) in the status bar
  • Allow customization of display text You have been staring at your vault for $amount (both total and current staring duration)
  • Starting and stopping of the counter with a ribbon button
  • Saving of the staring time is done every 10 minutes as well as on every settings change, when unloading the plugin and when starting/stopping the counter via the ribbon icon to prevent too many disk writes
  • Allow actual time (days, hours, minutes, etc.) to be used in the status text instead of only the humanize output of the duration

TODO

  • Implement take a break reminders, configurable
  • Add visualization for staring time, similar to github activity
  • Enhance status bar text by allowing templating

Deprecated

Allow calculating the current staring duration from midnight today, if the startup was earlier than midnight today
