The Vault Stats plugin adds simple but powerful functions that let you see an overview of your entire vault at a glance. It provides two global calls - one to generate a markdown summary of note counts, word counts, links, and tags, and another to list the most recently modified notes, with the option to skip certain folders like Templates. These functions are designed for use with DataviewJS or custom scripts, making it easy to weave live stats into dashboards, reports, or daily notes.

The Recent Notes plugin provides an organized timeline view of recently edited notes in Obsidian, making it easy to track and revisit recent work. Notes are grouped by time periods, including today, yesterday, the past week, month, and year, allowing users to quickly locate their latest modifications. Each entry displays the note title, first line of content, and last edit timestamp for quick reference. Users can configure the number of displayed notes and access them with a single click from the sidebar, improving workflow efficiency and note accessibility.
