Obsidian plugins with #note-metadata#

The Chronotyper plugin enables automatic tracking of time spent actively editing individual notes within Obsidian. As you work on a note, the plugin records the duration of your edits and logs it as metadata directly in the note's frontmatter. This helps users gain insight into how much time they've invested in particular documents, making it especially useful for productivity tracking, writing sprints, or documenting workflows.

The Metadata Validator plugin validates note metadata against manifest driven schemas. It looks for `manifest.md` files inside a `schemes/` folder and applies the closest manifest above each note as that note's schema. Nested manifests inherit from the parent tree, so a base schema can be extended for narrower folders like sources, books or people without repeating every rule. The plugin's model is entirely folder based and depends on keeping those manifest files in the schemes hierarchy.
