Better Bujo

Render bullet-journal (BuJo) markers in your notes instead of Obsidian's checkboxes — in both Reading mode and Live Preview.

Markers

At the beginning of a line:

You type	Renders as	Meaning
- item	–	Plain note (a dash, not a bullet)
- [ ]	•	Open task
- [x]	x	Done
- [>]	>	Migrated to the month note
- [<]	<	Sent to the future log
- [o]	○	Event
- [O]	●	Completed event
~ ...	~ (styled)	An emotion or a thought

How it works

A regular - dash triggers a list, just as normal. A markdown task turns into a • bullet. Click it to complete the task. A migrated task looks like >, and a task sent to the future log looks like <. Events look like a small circle. Click it to complete the circle.

Known Limitations

This plugin does not work with the Border theme.
