LifeOS

中文版本 | English Version

🔥 LifeOS for Obsidian won the third place 🥉 in the Best Templates category at the 2024 Obsidian Gems of the Year awards!

• This is a plugin for LifeOS, which assist in practicing the PARA method with periodic notes and usememos.
• It is recommended to download the LifeOS-example to experience it.
• For more tutorials, please go to LifeOS for Obsidian Official Site

The starter workflow now supports ten languages (English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic), including workspace setup, quick capture, weekly review, templates, and folder settings. See multilingual workspace maintenance.

Features

• A first-run setup wizard can create a periodic-notes workspace with or without PARA in any of the ten supported languages. The selected workspace profile is kept for future repairs, and existing files are never overwritten.
• Built-in starter templates cover daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives notes.
• An optional example workflow and a five-minute completion guide help you make the first capture; the example can be removed safely while it remains unchanged.
• Quick record and Quick task support continuous capture, native live preview, images, checklists, PARA theme associations, history, combined filters, and safe editing. Everything stays in daily-note Markdown. See the quick capture guide (Chinese).
• Query views use Dataview. Setup, quick capture, and weekly review work without it.

See the weekly review guide for scope and refresh behavior.

Development and contributions

See the contribution guide and community tasks. Requires Obsidian 1.4.0 or newer.

Setup, quick capture, and Weekly review work without Dataview. Query views still require Dataview and show installation, enablement, or indexing guidance.

Run Weekly review from the command palette to preview this week or last week. Save or refresh a separate *-Review.md note while preserving your reflections. Weeks use ISO numbering (Monday–Sunday); existing weekly notes are not migrated. Checked tasks reflect current note contents, not completion dates; project activity reflects file modification times.

Acknowledgements

Also, I relied on the code from these excellent plugins:

• PARA. Thanks to Tiago Forte for inventing such a great organizational method.
• PARA Starter Kit. Thanks to cotemaxime for creating such a great starter vault.
• obsidian-periodic-notes. Gave me the inspiration to develop this plugin.
• obsidian-dataview. The underlying plugin uses dataview's query interface.
• Templater. Provides decoupled template creation, allowing a very large number of plugins to create files with the help of it.
