Obsidian plugins with #time-tracking#

The TaskNotes plugin turns each task into its own Markdown note and uses Bases queries to power list, kanban, calendar, agenda, and mini calendar views. It stores task data in YAML frontmatter, so tasks stay portable and easy to edit outside the plugin. Natural language entry helps create tasks quickly, while configurable properties let existing workflows map fields like due dates or custom metadata. It also handles recurring tasks with per instance completion, optional occurrence notes, time tracking, Pomodoro sessions, dependencies and computed formulas inside the bundled views. Calendar sync is available for Google, Microsoft or ICS sources and the plugin can connect to external tools through its HTTP API, CLI, browser extension and webhooks.

The Day Planner plugin turns notes and calendar feeds into editable timelines for planning the day and reviewing time use. It can read entries from daily notes, tasks stored across the vault through the Tasks plugin and internet calendars shared as ICS feeds, so one view can mix personal plans with scheduled work. The plugin also adds a multi day planner, a compact timeline in the status bar and color cues for remote tasks. Its experimental time tracking layer lets you clock into tasks, record finished sessions, reopen active clocks and inspect them in a separate timeline column.

The Super Simple Time Tracker plugin allows users to track time spent on various tasks directly within their notes in Obsidian. By inserting a time tracker into any note, users can start and stop tracking time seamlessly, with the data stored persistently even if Obsidian is closed.

The Operon plugin turns Markdown checkboxes and file based tasks into one task system with shared identity, metadata and history. It indexes inline tasks inside notes and larger file tasks in their own notes, then lets the same records move through filters, the Table, Calendar, Kanban boards and the Task Editor without losing context. Tasks can be created from notes, selections, calendar slots and external calendar events, then linked through parent child relationships, dependencies and project serials. Operon also includes recurrence rules, fixed and rule based reminders, pinned task views and built in time tracking with session history. Its data stays local in the vault and plugin storage, with optional read only ICS calendars, release checks and downloadable language packs.

The Prisma Calendar plugin turns notes in a chosen folder into events by reading frontmatter fields for dates, times, categories, status and other metadata. It provides calendar, timeline and list based planning views, recurring events that create real notes, batch operations, undo and redo history, statistics, notifications, time tracking, configurable filters, presets and JavaScript colour rules, with support for multiple planning systems in one vault. Synced or imported calendar data can be stored as normal notes with frontmatter instead of a separate format. The free version covers core planning features, while Pro adds heatmap and gantt views, CalDAV and ICS URL sync, the programmatic API and other advanced options. Core features also work on mobile and the free version has no client side telemetry.

The Project Manager plugin adds a full project layer inside your vault using Markdown files and frontmatter instead of an external service. It works across table, gantt and kanban views, so the same tasks can be edited as rows, timeline bars or status cards. Tasks support subtasks, dependencies, milestones, recurring schedules, due reminders, time estimates, logged work, assignees, tags and bulk actions. Projects can define their own fields, statuses, priorities and saved views, while scheduling rules can automatically shift dependent tasks when dates move. The plugin also imports existing notes as tasks, supports project creation from a note and can align with TaskNotes without destructive conversion. Collaboration stays file based, so vault sync tools and Git remain the storage and sharing layer.
