Random Note Picker

An Obsidian plugin that opens random notes from your vault — from recent time periods or from custom directories.

Commands

Open the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and search for "Random":

• Random note from past day — notes created in the last 24 hours
• Random note from past week — notes created in the last 7 days
• Random note from past month — notes created in the last 30 days
• Random note from <folder name> — notes from a folder you configure (up to 3; each command appears once its directory is set in the plugin settings, named after the folder)
