⌛ Obsidian Timekeep

Obsidian plugin for time tracking

This plugin provides a way to simply and easily track time spent on various tasks. After tracking your time you can export the tracked time as a Markdown Table, CSV, JSON, or PDF

This plugin provides a command for inserting time trackers Obsidian Timekeep: Insert Timekeep alternatively a timekeep can be created by creating a codeblock like the following:

```timekeep

```

👀 How its stored

This plugin is heavily inspired by ObsidianSimpleTimeTracker (Semi backwards compatible some simple-time-tracker blocks can be renamed to timekeep) so the data for time tracking is stored as JSON within the timekeep codeblock.

The time block start and stop times are stored as timestamps, this makes it possible for you to start your time tracker then close Obsidian and have the tracking still continuing when you open it again.
