Tiny Habits

Table of Contents

Tiny Habits

An Obsidian Plugin built with Svelte to track different habits.

All the entries are stored inside your notes frontmatter. Everything stays local and within your markdown notes.

Features:

• Mark habits as completed, failed, skipped, or not started.
• A table of your habit entries, in the beloved format of a heatmap we see in Github or Anki.
• Keyboard navigation support
• Navigation both to future and past entries.

Preview:

Usage

• Make a code block with habits in the first line

• Open brackets and indicate the folder path. Make sure you write the full folder path, otherwise it won't work.

• Create a note in that folder to see the new habit in your habits table.

• Voila!

  ```habits
  {
    "folderPath": "Areas/Habits/Tiny - Morning"
  }
  ```
  

You can use as many markdown blocks as you like in the same file. And if they get too big, you can collapse them by clicking the table header.

Keyboard support

You can navigate both with arrows and the hjkl keys. To mark a habit entry, you can do so by focusing on the entry and pressing enter.

To mark an entry with an specific status these are the shortcuts:

• Completed - 1
• Failed - 2
• Skip - 3
• Not started - 4

Options

```habits
{
  "folderPath": "Areas/Habits/Tiny - Morning", // the absolute path to the folder containing your habits
  "displayName": "Morning" // (optional) To customize the name that appears in the table
}
```
