This is a daily word count and heatmap plugin that is forked from https://github.com/dhruvik7/obsidian-daily-stats. I wanted to update it to modernize the libraries, add new features, and fix bugs I was experiencing.

Features

  • Today's word count in the bottom right corner of your screen.
  • A heatmap in the right panel view akin to Github's contribution graph.
  • A configurable daily goal to try and encorage writing more.
  • The number of words you have written in the last year.
