  3. Search for "Markwhen" and then select it.
  4. Select Install, then enable it.

You can also find and install Markwhen plugin here: https://obsidian.md/plugins?search=Markwhen

Install the plugin manually

  1. Go to the repo's latest release page, and download main.js, manifest.json and styles.css (or the zip file).
  2. Copy these files to your local path [your vault]/.obsidian/plugins/markwhen/.
  3. Relaunch Obsidian, or refresh the plugin list, you will see this plugin.
  4. In the plugin list, enable Markwhen and enjoy!

Development

Ensure you first have Obsidian installed, and set up a development vault.

You can download and enable the Hot-Reload plugin in the dev vault to experience a smooth debugging workflow. Every time main.js, manifest.json or styles.css updates, it will trigger an auto-reload.

Linux / MacOS developers

If the path to your vault is something other than ~/Documents/Obsidian Vault, update copyAssets.sh to point to your vault's location.

git clone git@github.com:mark-when/obsidian-plugin.git
cd obsidian-plugin
npm i
npm run vite

Windows developers

Since there's no watch command out-of-the-box, you can place the repo right in the dev vault config directory (i.e. [your vault]/.obsidian/plugins/markwhen/), and set the outDir to ./ in vite.config.ts (vite complains about this).

cd your-dev-vault/.obsidian/plugins
git clone git@github.com:mark-when/obsidian-plugin.git markwhen
cd markwhen
npm i
npm run vite

Note

The plugin id in the manifest is markwhen, indicating users will find their plugin under the .obsidian/plugins/markwhen directory if they install this plugin from official Obsidian distribution.
