Tag for Everything

A powerful Obsidian plugin for mass tag management. Quickly add tags to all notes in a folder, find untagged notes, and organize them automatically.

Features

1. Mass Tag Addition to Folder

• Select any folder in your vault
• Add multiple tags at once to all existing notes in that folder
• Tags are added to the YAML frontmatter
• Preserves existing tags (no duplicates)
• Works with nested folders

2. Untagged Notes Management

• Automatically detects all notes without tags
• Shows the count of untagged notes
• Add a specific tag to all untagged notes with one click
• Automatically moves untagged notes to a designated folder
• Helps maintain organization in your vault

Usage

Adding Tags to a Folder

1. Open Settings → Tag for Everything
2. Under "Add tags to existing notes in folder":
   • Enter the folder path (e.g., Projects/Work or just Work)
   • Enter tags separated by commas (e.g., project, important, work)
   • Click "Apply Tags to Folder"

All existing notes in that folder will now have these tags in their frontmatter.

Managing Untagged Notes

1. Open Settings → Tag for Everything
2. Under "Untagged notes management":
   • Click "Refresh" to see how many untagged notes you have
   • Set the folder where untagged notes should be moved (default: Untagged Notes)
   • Set the tag to add to untagged notes (default: untagged)
   • Click "Process Untagged Notes"

All notes without tags will be tagged and organized in the specified folder.

How It Works

Tag Addition

The plugin adds tags to your notes' YAML frontmatter. If a note doesn't have frontmatter, it creates it. For example:

---
tags: [project, work, important]
---

# Your Note Content

Tag Detection

A note is considered "untagged" if it has:

• No YAML frontmatter with a tags: field
• No inline tags (like #tag) in the content

Settings

Setting	Description	Default
Target folder	Folder to add tags to	(empty)
Tags to add	Comma-separated list of tags	(empty)
Folder for untagged notes	Where to move untagged notes	Untagged Notes
Tag for untagged notes	Tag to add to untagged notes	untagged

Examples

Example 1: Tagging a Project Folder

You have a folder Projects/WebsiteRedesign with 50 notes. You want to tag them all with project, website, and 2024.

1. Set Target folder: Projects/WebsiteRedesign
2. Set Tags to add: project, website, 2024
3. Click "Apply Tags to Folder"

All 50 notes now have these three tags.

Example 2: Organizing Untagged Notes

You have 100 notes scattered across your vault without any tags.

1. Click "Refresh" to see the count
2. Set Tag for untagged notes: needs-review
3. Set Folder for untagged notes: To Review
4. Click "Process Untagged Notes"

All 100 notes are now tagged with needs-review and moved to the To Review folder.
