Memo Lite

A lightweight memo plugin for Obsidian. Capture fleeting notes and ideas quickly, organize them with tags, review them with an activity heatmap, and share them as image cards.

Note: The plugin UI is currently Chinese-only. An English UI is on the roadmap.

Features

  • 📝 Quick capture — jot down ideas without breaking your workflow
  • 🏷️ Tags — organize memos with #tags; autocomplete suggests existing tags as you type, with live highlighting
  • 📊 Activity heatmap — GitHub-style visualization of your writing habit; click a day to filter memos
  • 🔍 Instant search — search all memos as you type
  • 📌 Pin — keep important memos on top
  • 🖼️ Share as image card — turn any memo into a polished PNG (4 templates × 13 backgrounds), download or copy to clipboard
  • 🔢 Word count — per-memo statistics from the card menu
  • ✏️ In-place editing — double-click a memo to edit; a card menu offers share / edit / pin / delete
  • 📋 Templates — optionally create memos from your Obsidian templates
  • 📁 File Flow — a quick note-to-file creator: register up to 5 target folders, type a title (live filename preview) and body, and save straight to a standalone .md file. Tag autocomplete draws from all tags in your vault (including nested paths), and unsaved drafts survive view close and app restart

Data & privacy

  • Memos are stored as plain Markdown files inside your vault (default folder Memos/, configurable) with lightweight HTML-comment IDs — they remain fully readable, searchable, and syncable by Obsidian itself
  • Uninstalling the plugin never deletes your notes; there is nothing to export because everything already lives in your vault
  • The plugin makes no network requests and collects no telemetry; image cards are rendered entirely locally
  • Desktop only for now (isDesktopOnly: true)
