Friend Tracker for Obsidian

A plugin for Obsidian that helps you keep track of friends, family, and your interactions with them. Never forget a birthday or important detail about someone you care about.

Inspiration

This plugin was inspired by Scott Stockdale's article on maintaining meaningful friendships. The core idea is that maintaining strong relationships requires a system for:

  • Tracking important dates and milestones
  • Recording meaningful interactions
  • Remembering personal details
  • Making regular meaningful touchpoints

Friend Tracker helps implement these relationship-building practices in a simple, organized way within Obsidian.
