Projects Plus

Русский · User guide · Documentation · Roadmap

Projects Plus helps you work with Obsidian notes as a project: compare records in a table, arrange them on a board, plan events in a calendar, and build an overview on a Dashboard.

Each record remains a Markdown file. Fields such as status, date, and assignee live in note properties — the YAML block at the beginning of the file. Editing an ordinary writable field in the plugin updates the note.

What you can do

Task	Tool
Compare records and edit their properties	A table inside a Dashboard block
Organize tasks by status	Board with draggable cards
Browse meetings and deadlines	Calendar with year-to-day views
Browse materials by cover image	Gallery
Combine records, charts, and metrics	Dashboard with configurable blocks
Total up related records	Rollups through a relation, and reverse ones — records that link here
Compare figures across projects	Charts with several series, another project's data and a second axis
Select the notes to include	Folder, tag, built-in filtered query, or Dataview

Installation

Once Projects Plus is listed in the Obsidian community directory, install it from Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → Browse, search for Projects Plus, then select Install and Enable.

To install a release by hand:

The current version is 3.7.0: configurable gallery layouts and card fields, resizable card frames, board thumbnails, filters in the view settings, touch-first behaviour on phones and tablets, and styles that follow your Obsidian theme. 3.6.3 named the plugin Projects Plus; 3.6.1 brought a demo of three linked projects. The first version in the Obsidian community catalogue format is 3.6.0. Packaged builds are in GitHub Releases; it needs Obsidian 1.8.7 or newer, on desktop or mobile. See the changelog for what changed.

1. Choose a release and download all three files from it: main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.
2. Create .obsidian/plugins/obs-projects-plus/ inside your vault and place the files there.
3. Restart Obsidian and enable Projects Plus in Community plugins settings.

When updating, replace these three files with files from the same build. Keep data.json: it contains your project and view settings.

Usage

Create your first project:

1. Create a Projects folder in your vault and a note named First task.md inside it:

   ---
   title: First step
   status: todo
   startDate: 2026-09-15
   ---
   

2. Open the Obsidian command palette and find Create new project plus.

3. Name the project, choose Folder as its source, and select Projects.

4. Open it with Show projects plus. Use the add-view control to add a view; for a table, use a data block on a Dashboard.

5. Change the record's status, then open its Markdown file: the updated value should be stored in its properties.

To explore prepared data, use Create demo project: it creates three linked projects — a massage practice, a wellbeing tracker and a personal budget — whose data flows between them. The welcome dialog and the empty projects screen offer it too. A separate demo vault is also available.

Privacy and access

Projects Plus works only with your vault through the Obsidian API. It makes no network requests and collects no data.

• Vault files. To find the notes of a project and the records that link to one another, it lists the files in the vault and reads their properties. It writes to a note only when you edit a record, create one, or run an action such as creating the demo.
• Clipboard. It writes to the clipboard only when you press the copy button in the formula debug panel; it never reads the clipboard.
• Settings. Projects and views are stored in the plugin's data.json inside your vault.
