Automatically set the first line as note title

First Line is Title automatically sets the first line as note title, just like in Apple Notes! It lets you forget about manual filename entry or nondescript timestamps.

Features

  • Rename notes automatically or manually.
  • Move cursor to the first line on note creation.
  • Put any first line content in title or headings only.
  • Replace forbidden filename characters with safe alternatives.
  • Strip markdown syntax in filename.
  • Add custom replacement rules.
  • Automatically add a first line alias property — make illegal characters searchable in the Quick switcher or Omnisearch.
  • Rename all notes in a folder, all notes with a tag, all search results or the entire vault.
  • Exclude select notes, folders, tags, properties or filenames from renaming.
  • Convert selection containing forbidden characters into a safe internal link. Preserve the original text in link caption.
