CE Credit Tracker

Continuing education tracker for CE credits, CPD, CME, CPE, CLE and PDH hours toward a license renewal, inside your vault. It works for any recurring credit cycle: CE hours, CPE, CLE, PDH and similar.

You tell it what you need to earn and by when. You log each credit as an ordinary note. A dashboard shows hours earned, hours left, days left and any category minimums you have not met yet, and one command exports an audit-ready CSV or Markdown file.

What it does not do

• It has no rules database and makes no claim about any board's requirements. You enter your own numbers. The built-in example is made up; replace every number with the one your licensing board gives you.
• Hours are self-reported from your notes. The plugin does not check that a course is accepted by your board.

Set up

1. Open Settings, then CE Credit Tracker.
2. Enter a name, the hours required, and the first and last day of your cycle. Optionally add categories: a minimum is hours you must earn in that category (for example ethics), a maximum is the most hours that category can contribute to the total.
3. Run Open dashboard from the command palette, or click the graduation cap icon in the ribbon.

Log credits

Run Log a credit, or add these properties to any note you already have:

Property	Required	Example
ce-date	yes	2026-03-05
ce-hours	yes	1.5
ce-category	no	Ethics
ce-provider	no	Example Training Co.
ce-certificate	no	[[certificate.pdf]] or a link
ce-requirement	no	Nurse licence (the name of one of your requirements; Pro)

A note counts when it has ce-date and ce-hours, wherever it lives in the vault. Credits dated outside your cycle are not counted. A note without ce-requirement counts toward every requirement you have. Notes with a bad value (for example ce-hours: lots) are listed on the dashboard with the reason, so nothing is dropped silently.

Export an audit

Export audit as CSV and Export audit as Markdown write a file into your credit folder (default CE Credits) with every counted credit, your totals, and your category status. CSV cells that start with =, +, - or @ are prefixed so spreadsheet apps do not run them as formulas.

Pro (optional, paid)

The free plugin is complete for one requirement and stays free. Pro is a one-year key, $29 once, no auto-renewal. It adds:

• More than one requirement: several licences or several people, each with its own cycle, categories and dashboard.
• Certificates in the exports: the audit CSV and Markdown list each credit's ce-certificate link.
• Deadline reminders as note properties: one status note per requirement (Status <name>.md in your credit folder) with ce-status, ce-deadline, ce-days-left, ce-hours-left, ce-hours-earned, ce-hours-required and ce-categories-open, kept current so Bases, Dataview, Tasks or a reminder plugin can use them.

Buy it at hexloomlabs.com/obsidian-ce (payment is handled by Stripe in your browser, outside Obsidian). You get a key on the receipt page and by email; paste it into Settings, CE Credit Tracker, Pro. When a key expires, Pro features pause; nothing is deleted and the free features keep working.

Privacy and network use

• The plugin makes no network requests. No account. No telemetry. No ads.
• Pro keys are signed and checked on your device. The plugin never contacts a server to activate or verify a key. The Settings button that opens the purchase page opens your browser.
• Your credits stay in your notes. Your requirement settings (and your Pro key, if you add one) are stored in this plugin's data.json inside your vault.
