LLR — Live Life Recording

日本語ドキュメント: https://goryugo.com/topics/llr

An Obsidian plugin for recording task start times, finish times, and daily flow directly in Markdown. One command — Toggle Task — creates, starts, and finishes a task. No complex UI. No lock-in. Just Markdown checkboxes.

Uninstall the plugin anytime — your data stays as plain text.

Ask AI, not the manual

You only need to learn one command: Toggle Task. For everything else, ask AI.

LLR's full specification lives in this repository's docs/ folder. Tell any AI assistant to read it, and it can explain commands, walk you through workflows, and answer questions — so you don't have to memorize 13 commands yourself.

Spend your attention on recording, not on learning the tool.

Install (BRAT)

  1. Install and enable the BRAT community plugin
  2. In BRAT settings, choose Add Beta plugin and enter goryugocast/llr
  3. Enable LLR in community plugins

Quick Start

All you need is Toggle Task:

  1. Create — run Toggle Task on an empty line → - [ ] appears
  2. Start — run Toggle Task again → current time is inserted, status becomes - [/]
  3. Finish — run Toggle Task once more → status becomes - [x] with elapsed time

Records are Markdown checkboxes. Edit the timestamps by hand anytime — LLR recalculates automatically.
