Periodix-Planner: Turn Obsidian into a time-aware planning system

I've built an Obsidian plugin that automatically generates tightly interconnected periodic notes (daily → weekly → monthly → quarterly → yearly) that are fully navigable and hierarchy-aware, combined with a time budgeting system that treats time like a finite investment portfolio, where you allocate hours into categories and track where your time actually goes.

GitHub: https://github.com/Real1tyy/Periodix-Planner

Core Features

Automatic Periodic Note Generation

- Automatically creates periodic daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes

- Notes are intelligently linked through frontmatter for easy navigation

Time Budget System

- Define your available hours and allocate them across categories (work, learning, health, relationships, etc.)

- Budgets cascade down the hierarchy: Yearly → Quarterly → Monthly → Weekly → Daily

- Smart tracking with color-coded indicators (green/yellow/red)

Visual Statistics

- Pie charts showing category distribution at each time level

- Detailed tables with allocated vs. remaining hours

- Progress bars for visual tracking

Interactive Allocation Editor

- Drag-to-adjust percentage bars

- Quick-fill buttons (10%, 25%, 50%, Max)

- Parent budget warnings to prevent over-allocation

- Undo/redo support

Why I built this

Most planning systems focus on output ("What did I get done?"). This plugin focuses on inputs ("What am I spending my time on?"). It's not a task manager—it's a time investment tracker that helps you decide what deserves your time in the first place.

cbowers Intriguing. I’ll give a try when it comes to community plugins. Llammagraphics used to have an app called LifeBalance that I enjoyed. This looks to have promising merging that gap into my Obsidian flows. Dec 19, 2025 2 likes

Real1tyyy Author Thanks, I really like it as well. I had this as an idea for a long time too. Now it is a reality. It's early version so I will improve the integration over time, add more options and tighten it up. Would really appreciate it if you were to contribute with your ideas if you see any ways on how to improve the integration by creating github issues. Dec 20, 2025 2 likes
