MetaBar

MetaBar is an Obsidian plugin that displays file creation and modification dates in a small bar above the editor.

MetaBar displaying created and modified dates above an Obsidian note

Usage

Enable MetaBar and open a note in edit mode. The bar shows:

  • Created — the file creation timestamp
  • Modified — the file modification timestamp

Timestamps follow your system locale and the bar follows your active Obsidian theme.

Install from source

Clone the repository, install dependencies, and symlink the checkout into your vault:

git clone https://github.com/eferm/obsidian-metabar.git
cd obsidian-metabar
npm install
ln -s "$PWD" "<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/metabar"
npm run build

Reload Obsidian, then enable MetaBar under Settings → Community plugins.

During active development, npm run dev rebuilds main.js automatically after source changes.

Compatibility

MetaBar supports Obsidian 0.16.0 and later.
