Note Age Highlighter

An Obsidian plugin that highlights notes in the file explorer when they haven't been modified for a configurable number of days.

The Problem

Your vault grows. Old notes get buried and forgotten. There's no visual signal that a note hasn't been touched in weeks or months.

The Solution

Note Age Highlighter scans your vault and highlights stale notes directly in the file explorer. You set the threshold — the plugin does the rest.

Features

• Highlights notes older than N days in the file explorer
• Configurable threshold in days (default: 30)
• Configurable highlight color (default: #ff6b6b)
• Uses mtime (last modified time), not creation date
• Changes apply instantly when you update settings
• Lightweight — no external dependencies

Settings

• Threshold in days — notes not modified for longer than this will be highlighted
• Highlight color — any valid CSS color value (e.g. #ff6b6b, tomato, rgb(255,107,107))
