A context-adaptive dashboard for Obsidian that reconfigures itself by time of day, active project, and live priority.
The dashboard reads your vault and reshapes itself across four modes — Morning briefing, Working mode, Evening review, and Night desk — surfacing what matters most right now instead of a static panel.
Features
- Adaptive by time of day — modes shift automatically through morning, day, evening, and night, with a toolbar to override anytime.
- Adaptive by project — "Today's focus" derives the active project from the folder of your most recently opened note.
- Live priority ranking — widgets re-rank by urgency (overdue tasks jump to the top), so the most important thing is always at the top of the grid.
- Quick capture — type a thought, press Enter, and it's appended to
Capture.mdat your vault root. - Manual refresh — a toolbar button forces a fresh read of the vault, next to a "last updated" timestamp.
- Aurora styling — glass cards, gradient hero, and per-mode color themes, matching light and dark Obsidian themes.

How the data works
The dashboard reads ordinary Markdown — no separate setup needed.
Tasks feed Open loops, Work queue, and Deadlines:
- [ ] Call the dentist <!-- open task -->
- [x] Book venue for demo <!-- done, ignored -->
- [ ] Ship signup flow fix 📅 2026-08-17 <!-- open task with due date -->
Due dates come from the inline 📅 YYYY-MM-DD emoji, or from frontmatter on the note (inherited by its tasks):
---
due: 2026-08-17
---
- [ ] Draft Monday sync agenda
Today's focus tracks your most recent file-open and uses that file's parent folder as the active project.
Notes to revisit is automatic: notes untouched for 7+ days that still have at least one outgoing [[link]].
Quick capture writes each capture as a bullet under Capture.md.
