MemoChron

MemoChron is an Obsidian plugin that bridges the gap between personal knowledge management and time management. It showcases a list of your calendar events. When you click on an event, it creates a note for this event.

• 👀 Visual Calendar: View your schedule in a clean, native-looking calendar interface in Obsidian's sidebar
• 📋 Daily Agenda View: See a detailed list of events for any selected day
• ✨ Automatic Note Creation: Create notes for events with customizable templates
• 🔄 Auto-Refresh: Keep your calendar data up to date with configurable refresh intervals
• 🎨 Customizable: Configure note templates, locations, and naming conventions
