This Obsidian plugin keeps the created and updated front-matter properties of your notes in sync with the file's actual creation ( ctime ) and modification ( mtime ) timestamps. Once installed and enabled, it runs in the background — no commands to click, no manual housekeeping. This plugin is a simplified reimplementation of the update-time-on-edit plugin. It was originally created to work around the fact that the original plugin did not integrate well with Obsidian Publish (see beaussan/update-time-on-edit-obsidian#75). Features - Automatic — front matter updates happen whenever a note is modified (from Obsidian or from external tools). - Accurate — values come from the file's underlying ctime and mtime . - Respects existing values — created is never overwritten; updated is debounced ( MINUTES BETWEEN SAVES = 1 minute) to avoid fighting active edits. - Configurable property names — pick the front-matter keys for the creation and last-update timestamps (defaults: created , updated ). - Edit-friendly — updates are delayed until you stop typing (configurable Save delay ), so they don't refresh the editor mid-edit or knock your cursor out of a table. - One-shot backfill — a command to add the front-matter properties to all existing notes that don't have them yet. - Folder exclusions — skip templates, archives, or any other folder. - Excalidraw-aware — Excalidraw files are detected ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/dsebastien","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/dsebastien/obsidian-update-time/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
