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

CommandDescription
Easy Writing Goal: Open writing goals viewOpen the sidebar view
Easy Writing Goal: Show project targetsTargets modal for the active note’s project
Easy Writing Goal: Create writing projectCreate a new project
Easy Writing Goal: Assign note to writing projectLink the active note to a project
Easy Writing Goal: Show writing historyHistory 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

  1. Settings → Easy Writing Goal → Projects → New project, or run Create writing project.
  2. On each note in that project:
---
writing-project: dissertation-ch3
---

Or run Assign note to writing project on the active note.

  1. Open any note in the project — the sidebar and status bar show combined progress.
  2. 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 목표오늘 세션 목표를 한곳에서 봅니다.

기능

  • 프로젝트 목표writing-project: <id>를 공유하는 노트 글자/단어 합산
  • 세션 목표 — 마감일 + 글쓰는 요일 → 하루 목표 자동 계산
  • 사이드바지금 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

Easy Writing Goal: Create writing project새 프로젝트
Easy Writing Goal: Assign note to writing project활성 노트를 프로젝트에 연결
Easy Writing Goal: Show writing history활성 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

  1. 설정 → Easy Writing Goal → Projects → New project 또는 명령 Create writing project.
  2. 프로젝트에 넣을 각 노트:
---
writing-project: dissertation-ch3
---

또는 Assign note to writing project 실행.

  1. 프로젝트 노트를 열면 사이드바·status bar에 합산 진행률 표시.
  2. 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)
