Obsidian is a note-taking app but with the community plugins, it can be much more. Along with note-taking, I’m using obsidian as a habit tracker recently.

Most people might find it difficult to track habits in obsidian. It involves the use of dataview plugin, little code, and other metadata that looks complex to replicate for a normal user.

But In this guide, I’ll show you how you can create a habit tracker in obsidian that’s easy to use. You won’t have to do any of the complex stuff. Once you set the system up, it will be as easy as ticking it off.

Obsidian is nothing more than a markdown tool without plugins. The official plugin with the community plugins is what makes it a powerful note-taking software along with its capability to be more. To create a habit tracker, we’ll be using the following three plugins:

  • Daily Notes Plugin
  • Templater Plugin
  • Calendar Plugin
  • Dataview Plugin
  • Database folder Plugin
