Insert Week

An Obsidian plugin that inserts a dated weekly template — one ## Weekday + ordinal heading per day, each with an unticked checkbox underneath.

Use the Weekly template command, choose which week of the year to insert, and pick whether weeks start on Monday or Sunday.

Features

• Command palette action — run Weekly template from anywhere in the editor.
• Week picker — a dropdown of every week in the year, labelled with its date range, pre-selected to the week of today.
• Start day toggle — Monday (default) or Sunday, changeable in the modal.
• Persistent setting — set the default start day once in Settings → Insert Week.
• Live preview — see the generated markdown before inserting.

Output

For week 40 of 2026 with a Monday start:

## Monday 28th

- [ ] 

## Tuesday 29th

- [ ] 

## Wednesday 30th

- [ ] 

## Thursday 1st

- [ ] 

## Friday 2nd

- [ ] 

## Saturday 3rd

- [ ] 

## Sunday 4th

- [ ] 

With a Sunday start, the same week begins on Sunday 27th instead.

Usage

1. Open a note in the editor.
2. Open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and run Weekly template.
3. Pick the week of the year and the start day of the week.
4. Click Insert — the template is inserted at your cursor.

The week number is inferred from today's date, following ISO-8601 week numbering when the start day is Monday (week 1 is the week containing January 4th).

Settings

Installation

Requires Obsidian 1.13.0 or later.

Manual (from a release)

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
2. Copy them into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/insert-week/.
3. Reload Obsidian and enable Insert Week under Settings → Community plugins.

From source

git clone https://github.com/bugrasitemkar/obsidian-insert-weekdays.git
cd obsidian-insert-weekdays
npm install
npm run build

Then copy the folder into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/insert-week/ and enable it. During development you can symlink the repository into your vault's plugins folder and reload the app after each build.

Development

npm install      # install dependencies
npm run dev      # watch build (outputs main.js)
npm run build    # typecheck + production build
npm test         # run the unit test suite (Vitest)

The date/week logic lives in week.ts and is covered by week.test.ts.

Releasing

1. Bump version in package.json and manifest.json (keep them in sync).
2. Run npm run build.
3. Commit, tag the version (e.g. git tag 1.0.0), and push with tags.
4. Create a GitHub release for the tag and attach main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.
