World Calendar Notes

A calendar in your Obsidian sidebar that opens and creates your daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes, shows public holidays for 247 countries, and can show each day's date in another calendar (Hijri, Hebrew, Chinese, Persian, Japanese era, Buddhist, Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian national).

Features

• Click a day for its daily note, a week number for the weekly note, the month, year or quarter for those notes. Ctrl/Cmd-click opens in a new tab.
• Each period has its own folder, file-name format (Moment.js, subfolders allowed) and template.
• Template variables: {{title}}, {{date}}, {{date:FORMAT}}, {{time}}, {{yesterday}}, {{tomorrow}}, {{holidays}}, {{altdate}}.
• Commands: open today's / this week's / month's / quarter's / year's note; open next or previous note of the same period.
• Week starts on Monday (ISO), Sunday, or your app language.
• Holidays work offline. Data covers 2026–2030 and is updated every year.

4. Use the commands Open next note and Open previous note to move between notes of the same kind.

Free and Pro

Free: everything above, with holidays for one country. Pro (one-time purchase) adds:

• holidays for any number of countries at once (good for remote teams and families abroad)
• bank, optional, religious and school days, not only public holidays
• the second-calendar line under each date and {{altdate}} in templates

Pro is unlocked with a licence key from Gumroad. The key is checked once with Gumroad's licence API (api.gumroad.com). No other network calls are made and no note content ever leaves your device.

Moving from Calendar and Periodic Notes

Use the same folders and formats you had in Periodic Notes. Existing notes are found and marked with a dot.

Data

Holiday dates come from python-holidays (MIT). Dates marked * depend on moon sighting and can move by a day. Other calendars use your system's built-in Intl calendars.
