Property Annotations

An Obsidian community plugin that displays inline, display-only annotations for boolean properties in daily notes (e.g. went_outside: true <3 days since last>). The plugin does not modify your notes.

How it works

• Detects your daily notes folder + filename date format (from Obsidian’s core Daily Notes settings).
• For each boolean property in a daily note, finds the most recent earlier daily note where that property was true.
• Shows a label like <today>, <yesterday>, <never>, or <N days since last>.

Settings

• Label style: verbose (3 days since last) or compact (3d since)
• Key filtering: annotate all boolean keys, or only a whitelist
• Advanced settings:
  • Auto-detect daily notes (default on)
  • Optional custom folder/format (used when auto-detect is disabled, or as fallback), with a status line showing what’s in use
