TypeLog

中文介绍

TypeLog is a typing statistics plugin for Obsidian. It keeps two numbers for every file you edit: the net output (what's actually left in the file) and the total input (every character you typed, including the ones you deleted or rewrote). Everything stays on your machine — no accounts, no cloud.

What it does

  • Net vs. gross: sees through your edits. Deleting and rewriting still count toward your total input, but net words only grows when the file actually gains content.
  • Active time: counts only while you're actually typing, and pauses itself after you stop for a while (the idle time is configurable).
  • Speed: CPM over a rolling 60-second window, plus the peak speed of the current session.
  • Goals: daily and weekly word/time targets, shown as progress rings that keep counting past 100%.
  • Heatmap: a GitHub-style calendar of your typing hours, switchable between active time and words typed.
  • Trends: daily bar charts in the stats panel — words, active time, or peak speed over the last 7 or 30 days.
  • Top files: a ranking of the files where you've spent the most time or typed the most, clickable to jump straight there.
  • Pomodoro: an optional break reminder after continuous active editing; can count real time or only while you're active.
  • Export: JSON, CSV (file-level plus daily and hourly heatmap data), or a ready-to-paste Markdown report — full or slim version.
  • Backup & restore: export everything to a single .typelog file and merge it back later, handy when moving vaults or recovering lost data.
  • Custom status bar: pick which stats to show and in what order, with a mini progress bar for your daily word goal.

Install

Search "TypeLog" in the community plugin store, or install manually:

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css
  2. Put them in .obsidian/plugins/typelog/ inside your vault
  3. Restart Obsidian and enable the plugin

Usage

Open a Markdown file and start typing. The status bar shows your current speed and today's numbers; click any item to open the details panel. The ribbon icon, or the command "TypeLog: Open stats window", opens the full dashboard with today's summary and the trend charts.
