Daily Work Log
An Obsidian plugin that visualizes daily time tracking (Events) and To-Do lists directly from your daily markdown notes — no YAML frontmatter required.
Features
- Sidebar view: a monthly calendar, an Event (timeline) section, and a To-Do section — all in the right sidebar.
- Inline editing: add/edit/delete Events and To-Dos directly from the sidebar, without opening the note.
- Minimal metadata: everything is read from three plain markdown headings — no frontmatter needed.
- Multi-language markers: notes can use English (
_Event/_ToDo/_Diary) or Korean (_이벤트/_할일/_다이어리) headings, recognized simultaneously regardless of your settings. - Two independent themes: a Light/Dark toggle just for the sidebar (separate from Obsidian's own theme), and a Dashboard that follows Obsidian's theme automatically.
- Dashboard: a vault-wide summary — total notes, current streak, date range, and your last-30-days To-Do completion rate and total Event time.
- UI language: English or Korean, switchable in settings.
Daily Note Format
Daily notes must be named YYYY-MM-DD.md. A new note created through the plugin looks like this:
# _Event
- 9:00 - 10:30 Team meeting
# _ToDo
- [x] Submit weekly report
- [ ] Review pull requests
# _Diary
Free-form notes go here — not parsed or shown in the sidebar.
- Blocks can appear in any order.
- If none of the three headings are present, the plugin falls back to treating any
- [ ]/- [x]line as a To-Do and any- HH:mm - HH:mm ...line as an Event, anywhere in the file.
Installation
This plugin isn't published on the Community Plugins browser yet. To install manually:
- Download
main.js,manifest.json, andstyles.cssfrom a release (or build them yourself — see below). - Copy the three files into
<your vault>/.obsidian/plugins/daily-work-log/. - In Obsidian, go to Settings → Community plugins, turn off Restricted mode if needed, and enable Daily Work Log.
Building from source
npm install
npm run build # outputs dist/main.js, dist/manifest.json, dist/styles.css
For active development, use npm run dev instead — it rebuilds automatically on every change (esbuild watch mode).
Usage
- Dashboard: click the ribbon icon (calendar-clock), or run the command "Daily Work Log 대시보드 열기" from the Command Palette. Opens as a normal tab in the main workspace.
- Sidebar: run the command "Daily Work Log 사이드바 열기" from the Command Palette (
Cmd/Ctrl+P). You can assign it a hotkey in Settings → Hotkeys. - Click a date on the calendar to open that day's note (a confirmation prompt appears if it doesn't exist yet); click Today to jump straight to today's note without a prompt.
Settings
- 마커 언어 (Marker language): which language's heading labels get inserted into newly created notes. Existing notes in either language keep working regardless of this setting.
- 사이드바 테마 (Sidebar theme): Light or Dark, for the sidebar only.
Development
npm test # run the Vitest unit test suite
