Timestamper

Timestamper allows to insert the current time into a note. It's particularly useful for logging or journaling in daily notes.

The plugin provides one main command that can be customised to fit your workflow.

Features

• Insert Timestamp: Adds a command to insert the current time, formatted to your preference.
• Auto-Open Daily Note: If you're not in today's daily note, the plugin can open it for you before inserting the timestamp.
• Customisable Format: You can define the exact format for the timestamp (the default is # HH:MM).
• Flexible Insertion: Choose to insert the timestamp at the very end of the document or at the first empty line below your cursor.
• Auto-Scroll: Optionally scrolls to the bottom of the note after inserting the timestamp, keeping your view focused.

How to Install

1. Open Settings in Obsidian.
2. Go to Community plugins and make sure that «Restricted mode» is turned off.
3. Click Browse to open the community plugins store.
4. Search for «Timestamper».
5. Click Install, and then Enable once it has downloaded.

How to Use

The main function of the plugin is the Timestamper: Insert timestamp command, which you can find in the command palette. For quicker access, I recommend assigning a hotkey to it in Obsidian's «Hotkeys» settings.

Settings

You can configure the plugin's behaviour under Settings → Community Plugins → Timestamper.

• Auto-open daily note: When enabled, the plugin will find and open today's daily note if you trigger the command from another file.
• Scroll to bottom: Automatically scrolls to the end of the note after the timestamp is added.
• Insert at document end: Toggles between inserting the timestamp at the very end of the note or at the next available empty line below the cursor.
• Timestamp format: Lets you specify the format.
