PropMove

Automatically move notes based on frontmatter properties. It just works.

[!NOTE]
Buy Me A Coffee — These are small tools, built with AI — on purpose. There isn't enough time to learn every language and dive into every rabbit hole, so AI lets me solve real problems from my daily life and homelab — and that matters more to me than clever code. The AI writes most of the code; the idea, the tinkering, testing, publishing and maintenance are mine. Issues answered, features shipped, a few stars and downloads — does that sound like AI slop? Take a look and make your own opinion. If this project helps you, buy me a coffee

Features

  • Auto-move on create/update — watches frontmatter changes and moves notes automatically
  • Multiple property mappings — define value-to-folder rules per property
  • Smart conflict handling — appends unique suffixes when targets exist
  • Ignore folders — exclude template folders from processing
  • Auto folder creation — creates missing target directories
  • Wiki-link stripping[[Project]] resolves to clean folder name
  • Autocomplete — property names and folder paths suggest from your vault
  • Auto-update paths — mapping folders follow vault renames automatically
  • Match operators — equals, contains, is-empty, is-not-empty per mapping

Screenshots

Simple. Manually map specific values:

Variable. Use wildcards to create dynamic paths:

How It Works

  1. Note created or frontmatter changes
  2. If in ignored folder → skipped
  3. First matching property mapping determines target folder
  4. If target exists → numeric suffix appended (configurable)
  5. Note moved to destination, folders created if needed
