Obsidian plugins with #schedule#

The Cron plugin for Obsidian allows users to automate tasks by scheduling commands or custom scripts to run at specified times using cron syntax. This plugin supports configurable jobs with options to enable mobile execution, sync checks, and lock toggling to manage job execution and conflicts. It integrates with Obsidian Sync to ensure tasks run only after synchronization is complete across devices. Developers can also use the exposed API to add and manage custom functions, providing flexibility for advanced automation workflows. The plugin helps streamline repetitive tasks, enhancing productivity in Obsidian.

The Local Backup plugin creates local vault backups on startup, on quit and at scheduled intervals, with separate output path settings for Windows and Unix environments. It supports include and exclude patterns with wildcard matching, so you can back up the whole vault, limit backups to selected folders and files or exclude specific paths after inclusion is applied. The plugin can retry failed runs, create one off backup files that are kept outside the normal cleanup cycle and manage backup retention through lifecycle settings. For large vaults it also offers an optional external archiver workflow for tools such as 7-Zip, WinRAR and Bandizip when direct backup work causes the app to stall.

The Choreday plugin tracks recurring household chores as notes, keeping schedules and completion history in frontmatter. Its Chores view separates work into Needs doing, Coming up and Later, with urgency bars showing how close each chore is to its next due date. Schedules can repeat from the last completion or follow selected weekdays. You can record past completions, snooze chores or skip a cycle without logging a false completion, including snoozing and skipping several chores together. Expandable history strips show completions, skips and missed scheduled days alongside how often a chore actually gets done. Embedded chore rows let you tick things off within notes. Changes preserve note bodies and existing frontmatter comments. History defaults to 12 completions per chore, and calendar schedules support weekly recurrence rather than fixed monthly dates.

The Notes 2 Tweets plugin allows users to effortlessly transform their Obsidian notes into tweets or Twitter threads. With features to auto-generate and schedule tweets, the plugin integrates your writing workflow with social media sharing. Users can customize tweet prompts and manage scheduling directly from within Obsidian. Designed for creators who want to share their knowledge seamlessly, this plugin also supports integration with OpenAI and Twitter APIs for enhanced automation. Future updates plan to include more customization options and image generation for tweets.

The Daily News Briefing plugin creates daily news notes inside your vault by combining web retrieval with AI summarisation from services such as Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok, Perplexity, OpenRouter and RSS. It can run on a schedule or on demand, then save the result using preset briefing formats like morning brief, market watch, research digest and company monitor. You can define custom topics, switch languages and shape the output with templates and placeholders instead of editing each note by hand. The plugin also adds a sidebar entry for quick access, keeps older briefings organised in monthly folders and includes connection testing plus cache and cleanup options to manage recurring runs.

The Dynamic Timetable plugin for Obsidian creates dynamic task schedules directly from Markdown files. By interpreting tasks formatted with estimated times and optional start times, it generates a timetable that adjusts based on task completion and interruptions. Tasks can include time estimates, scheduled start times, or both. Users can mark tasks as completed or interrupted, with the plugin automatically updating the schedule and adjusting subsequent tasks. Tasks are color-coded to indicate their status relative to the schedule, providing clear visual cues for adjustments. This plugin is inspired by the TaskChute system, emphasizing productivity and effective task management within the Obsidian environment.

The Daily Task Auto Generator plugin automates the creation of daily task notes using customizable templates, streamlining your personal task management workflow. It can generate entries on a daily or workday-only schedule and supports variable placeholders such as date, time, weekday, and progress indicators for year and month. Users can configure folder structures to neatly organize generated notes by year and month. The plugin also tracks task completion statistics from the previous day and appends them to the note, offering a feedback loop to help improve consistency.
