Easy Writing Goal
Scrivener-style writing goals for Obsidian. Group multiple notes into one project with frontmatter, track a draft target across all linked files, and see today’s session progress with deadline-aware daily targets.
Inspired by Scrivener’s Project Targets — but built for vaults where one manuscript lives in many notes.
Features
- Project goals — Notes sharing
writing-project: <id>count toward one draft target - Session goals — Deadline + writing days → auto daily target (recalculates as you write)
- Sidebar — Shows the active note’s project progress (or a short empty message)
- Status bar — Project + today’s progress when the active note belongs to a project
- Settings manager — Create, search, edit (Targets), and delete projects
- History — Calendar heatmap + recent daily deltas per project
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Easy Writing Goal: Open writing goals view | Open the sidebar view |
| Easy Writing Goal: Show project targets | Targets modal for the active note’s project |
| Easy Writing Goal: Create writing project | Create a new project |
| Easy Writing Goal: Assign note to writing project | Link the active note to a project |
| Easy Writing Goal: Show writing history | History for the active note’s project |
Settings
- Project property — Frontmatter key that groups notes (default
writing-project) - Default count unit — Characters / characters (no spaces) / words
- Exclude frontmatter / code blocks — Count options
- Status bar — Toggle project and session lines
- Projects — Compact list: search, New project, Targets, Delete
Usage
- Settings → Easy Writing Goal → Projects → New project, or run Create writing project.
- On each note in that project:
---
writing-project: dissertation-ch3
---
Or run Assign note to writing project on the active note.
- Open any note in the project — the sidebar and status bar show combined progress.
- Targets (sidebar, status bar, or settings list) — set total goal, deadline, writing days, session reset hour.
Scrivener-like behaviour
- Draft target = sum of all notes in the project
- Session target = remaining ÷ writing days left until deadline
- Writing days = weekdays you plan to write (Mon–Fri by default)
- Progress updates as you save notes (debounced)

Easy Writing Goal (한국어)
스크리브너식 글쓰기 목표를 옵시디안에서 쓸 수 있게 한 플러그인입니다. 여러 노트를 frontmatter로 프로젝트에 묶고, 전체 원고 목표와 오늘 세션 목표를 한곳에서 봅니다.
기능
- 프로젝트 목표 —
writing-project: <id>를 공유하는 노트 글자/단어 합산 - 세션 목표 — 마감일 + 글쓰는 요일 → 하루 목표 자동 계산
- 사이드바 — 지금 연 노트의 프로젝트 진행만 표시
- Status bar — 프로젝트 + 오늘 진행 (해당 노트가 프로젝트에 속할 때)
- 설정에서 관리 — 검색, 생성, Targets, 삭제
- 히스토리 — 캘린더·최근 일별 증가량
명령
| 명령 | 설명 |
|---|---|
| Easy Writing Goal: Open writing goals view | 사이드바 뷰 열기 |
| Easy Writing Goal: Show project targets | 활성 노트 프로젝트 Targets |
| Easy Writing Goal: Create writing project | 새 프로젝트 |
| Easy Writing Goal: Assign note to writing project | 활성 노트를 프로젝트에 연결 |
| Easy Writing Goal: Show writing history | 활성 노트 프로젝트 히스토리 |
설정
- Project property — 노트를 묶는 속성 키 (기본
writing-project) - Default count unit — 글자 / 글자(공백 제외) / 단어
- Exclude frontmatter / code blocks — 집계 옵션
- Status bar — 프로젝트·세션 표시 토글
- Projects — 컴팩트 목록 (검색, 새 프로젝트, Targets, 삭제)
사용
- 설정 → Easy Writing Goal → Projects → New project 또는 명령 Create writing project.
- 프로젝트에 넣을 각 노트:
---
writing-project: dissertation-ch3
---
또는 Assign note to writing project 실행.
- 프로젝트 노트를 열면 사이드바·status bar에 합산 진행률 표시.
- Targets에서 총 목표, 마감일, 글쓰는 요일, 세션 리셋 시각 설정.
스크리브너와 비슷한 점
- Draft = 프로젝트에 속한 모든 노트 합
- Session = 남은 분량 ÷ 마감까지 남은 작업일
- Writing days = 글 쓸 요일 (기본 월–금)
- 저장 시 자동 갱신 (디바운스)
