Overview
Project management views for Obsidian: table, board, calendar, and gallery views. Manage notes as project items with properties, filters, and sorting. It helps manage notes as projects in table, board, calendar, or gallery-style views without moving data outside the vault. The practical value is a repeatable workflow that remains visible in ordinary Markdown or Obsidian's own interface, rather than an isolated feature added without a plan.
How to Install Projects
- 1Open Obsidian Settings, select Community plugins, and confirm Restricted mode is disabled.
- 2Search the community catalog for Projects, install it, and enable it.
- 3Open the plugin settings and review its defaults before using it on existing notes.
- 4Test the workflow in a copied note or disposable vault, then inspect the resulting files.
How to Use Projects
Point a project at one folder or tag, map a small set of consistent properties, and verify that edits in the project view produce the expected Markdown metadata.
When Projects Helps
It helps manage notes as projects in table, board, calendar, or gallery-style views without moving data outside the vault.
A Safe First Workflow
Point a project at one folder or tag, map a small set of consistent properties, and verify that edits in the project view produce the expected Markdown metadata.
Limits and Checks
- Views depend on consistent properties. Mixing dates, text, and empty values in the same field produces confusing sorting and filtering.
- Keep a recoverable vault backup before enabling automation or bulk changes.
