Auto Move On Property

Auto Move On Property is an Obsidian plugin that moves notes into folders based on YAML frontmatter values.

Auto Move On Property demo

What it does

  • Watches notes in the vault root and any folders you choose
  • Checks note properties for matching property/value rules
  • Moves matching notes to the folder set in the rule
  • Supports single-value properties and YAML list properties

Example

The property name can be any YAML property you use in your own notes.

For example, this rule:

PropertyValueFolder
project-statusactiveActive Projects

matches a single-line frontmatter value:

---
project-status: active
---

It also matches the same value in a YAML list:

---
project-status:
  - active
  - waiting
---

In either case, the note is moved to Active Projects/.

Settings

  • Always watch vault root: include notes saved at the top level of the vault.
  • Watched folders: comma-separated list of additional folders to monitor.
  • Show move notifications: show a notice when a note is moved.
  • Show debug notifications: show troubleshooting notices while rules are checked.

Move Rules

Each rule has three fields:

FieldDescription
PropertyThe frontmatter key to check
ValueThe value that triggers the move
FolderThe destination folder

New rules appear at the top of the list. Use the filter box to narrow long rule lists.
