The Template by Note Name plugin allows users to automatically apply templates to newly created or renamed notes based on their names. Users can define custom rules to match note names by prefix, suffix, or contained text, enabling more efficient note creation and organization. Templates can be stored in a designated folder, and the plugin supports case-sensitive matching. This tool is especially useful for users of the Zettelkasten method or anyone who wants to standardize the format of certain note types, such as meeting notes, tasks, or ideas. Additionally, users have the option to apply templates when renaming notes, with template content being added to the existing note. The plugin helps users maintain a structured and consistent note-taking workflow within Obsidian.
The Image to notes plugin helps convert handwritten or printed documents into Markdown notes using AI transcription. When you drop image files like JPG, PNG, or HEIC into a specified folder, the plugin processes each one by sending it to an external AI provider and then creates a new note with the transcribed content. It also appends the original image at the bottom of the note for reference. Users can choose from multiple AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google and select a preferred model. There are flexible naming conventions for the resulting notes and options to customise system and user prompts for better transcription output. It's a handy tool for digitising physical notes efficiently, especially for students or professionals handling paper-based material.
The Date Range Expander plugin makes it easy to insert a sequence of dates into your notes using either a defined end date or a set duration. It supports customizable date formats, wiki-linking for each date, and even optional callout wrapping to keep long date sequences organised. Users can also choose whether to create actual note files for the linked dates and control where those files should be stored.
The Virtual Footer plugin allows you to append dynamic markdown content-such as dataview queries-to the bottom of all notes within a specified folder, without modifying the actual file content. This virtual rendering approach keeps your notes clean and avoids repetitive code blocks while enabling consistent display across related notes. You can define custom rules for each folder, making it ideal for cases like automatically adding summary tables or linked content below author profiles or project notes.
The TimeStamper plugin allows users to quickly insert customizable time and date stamps into their Obsidian notes. It offers pre-configured templates for both time and date stamps, which can be inserted using commands or hotkeys. Users can also generate custom time stamps via a simple dialog box, with the most recently used format saved for easy reuse. The plugin supports moment.js tokens, allowing full control over the format and layout of the stamps. Additional settings let users define automatic line breaks after stamps. This tool is useful for users who frequently log entries, journal, or track time-sensitive information in their notes.
