Smart daily timeboxing for Obsidian.
Plan your day in structured time blocks, automatically roll over unfinished tasks, and stay focused without manual setup.

TimeBox Daily creates a consistent daily planning system inside your vault using a practical TimeBox methodology.

✨ What It Does

TimeBox Daily helps you:

• Multi-Project Tracking & Sidebar Dashboard: Track projects with visual progress bars and backlogs inside dedicated project notes (TimeBox/Projects/) and a custom sidebar view.
• Bi-Directional Task Sync: Automatically sync task completion status (- [x]) between Daily Notes, Project Notes, and the Projects Dashboard.
• One-Click Task Injection ([+ Today]): Push project backlog tasks into today's TimeBox note with a single click.
• Automatic [[Project]] Link Parsing: Type - [ ] Task [[ProjectName]] in daily notes to auto-link and update project notes.
• Hide/Show Completed Tasks (👁): Toggle finished tasks on or off in your sidebar project cards.
• Smart Task Rollover: Automatically carry forward unfinished tasks and Brain Dump items across days.
• Structured Daily Notes: Auto-create daily timeboxing templates with focus areas, time blocks, and notes.
• Auto-Open on Startup: Automatically open today's TimeBox and Projects Dashboard when Obsidian launches.

It is designed for users who want structure without friction.

📸 How It Works

Each day, the plugin creates (or opens) a note like:

TimeBox - March 12, 2026

Inside, you'll have:

• 🎯 Today's Focus
• ⏰ Time Blocks (Morning / Afternoon / Evening)
• 📋 Tasks
• 🧠 Brain Dump
• 📝 Notes & Reflections
• ✅ Completed Today

Unfinished tasks automatically move to the next day.

No manual copying. No daily setup.

Why TimeBox Daily?

Most daily note systems require manual setup.
TimeBox Daily enforces structure automatically — so you can focus on execution, not organization.
