Move notes based on a frontmatter property value.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates21

Automatically move notes based on frontmatter properties. It just works.

💡 Built with AI — This plugin is developed and maintained via AI agents. I use AI as my primary tool for implementation, issue handling, and maintenance. You are free to choose whether to use this plugin based on that.

Features

  • Auto-move on create/update — watches frontmatter changes and moves notes automatically
  • Multiple property mappings — define value-to-folder rules per property
  • Smart conflict handling — appends unique suffixes when targets exist
  • Ignore folders — exclude template folders from processing
  • Auto folder creation — creates missing target directories
  • Wiki-link stripping — [[Project]] resolves to clean folder name
  • Autocomplete — property names and folder paths suggest from your vault
  • Auto-update paths — mapping folders follow vault renames automatically
  • Match operators — equals, contains, is-empty, is-not-empty per mapping

Screenshots

Simple. Manually map specific values:

Variable. Use wildcards to create dynamic paths:

How It Works

  1. Note created or frontmatter changes
  2. If in ignored folder → skipped
  3. First matching property mapping determines target folder
  4. If target exists → numeric suffix appended (configurable)
  5. Note moved to destination, folders created if needed
