The Reading Time plugin adds an estimated reading time feature to the status bar in Obsidian. It provides users with a quick assessment of how long it will take to read a note based on its word count. The plugin offers customization options to adjust reading speed preferences, ensuring accurate estimations based on individual reading habits.

The Remaining Reading Time plugin displays the estimated time left to finish reading a note along with real-time progress in the status bar. It extends the idea of the original Reading Time plugin but shifts focus from writing efficiency to reading experience. The plugin continuously calculates how much of a note has been read and how long it will take to complete, making it useful for reading long articles, study materials, or book excerpts within the app.
