Adds commands to quickly add entries to INBOX and TIMELINE sections of notes
Inboxer, an Obsidian Plugin
A simple Obsidian plugin that helps you organize notes with dedicated inbox and timeline sections. I made this to use with daily notes or project notes, to keep a running inbox and a running timeline of events.
Features
- Add to Inbox: Add new headings under an "INBOX" section
- Add to Timeline: Add timestamped entries under a "TIMELINE" section
Settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Inbox heading text | Text to search for when finding/creating inbox heading | INBOX |
| Timeline heading text | Text to search for when finding/creating timeline heading | TIMELINE |
Usage Example
Starting with a note:
# My Note
Some content here.
After using "Add to Inbox" command:
# My Note
Some content here.
## INBOX
### Your new inbox item
Thereafter "Add to Inbox" will add a new child heading under INBOX
After using "Add to Timeline" command:
# My Note
Some content here.
## INBOX
### Your new inbox item
## TIMELINE
### 2025-04-03 14:30 Your timeline entry
Thereafter "Add to Timeline" will add a new timestamped child heading under INBOX
Installation
- Download latest release and extract to
.obsidian/plugins
How It Works
The plugin finds (or creates) your inbox/timeline headings and inserts new entries. It preserves section hierarchy and places the cursor for immediate typing.
