Chronoboard

Chronoboard is an Obsidian community plugin for visual, note-native time tracking.

It turns Markdown notes into draggable timeboard entries across day, week, and month views while writing all data back into frontmatter. It works well with TaskNotes-style task notes, but it is not limited to Jira workflows or any specific vault structure.

Features

• Day, week, month, and statistics views
• Click and drag time entry creation
• Resize and move time blocks directly on the board
• Right-click actions for editing, recoloring, opening notes, and removing blocks
• Scoped totals for day, week, and month
• Support for always-included static notes such as meetings
• Frontmatter-based data with no separate database

How it works

Chronoboard reads notes from a configured folder, filters them using a metadata property, and lets you place time visually on a board. Time entries are written back into each note's YAML frontmatter, so your data stays portable and queryable.

Frontmatter

Chronoboard reads and writes these properties when present:

title: "Example Task"
Status: "In Progress"
active: true
timeboardColor: "#7c5cff"
timeboardSubtitle: "Project subtitle"
timeEntries:
  - startTime: "2026-06-12T09:00:00"
    endTime: "2026-06-12T11:00:00"
    label: "Worked on API review"

timeEntries is the only required structure for tracking time. Everything else is configurable or optional.
