Description

The TimeStamper plugin allows users to quickly insert customizable time and date stamps into their Obsidian notes. It offers pre-configured templates for both time and date stamps, which can be inserted using commands or hotkeys. Users can also generate custom time stamps via a simple dialog box, with the most recently used format saved for easy reuse. The plugin supports moment.js tokens, allowing full control over the format and layout of the stamps. Additional settings let users define automatic line breaks after stamps. This tool is useful for users who frequently log entries, journal, or track time-sensitive information in their notes.
