Hello Obsidian Community!

I’m excited to announce the release of my new community plugin: Note Mover Shortcut! :tada:

As someone who relies on efficient note organization, I developed this plugin to help you manage your notes with unprecedented speed and flexibility. Note Mover Shortcut is designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow, making note movement and organization a breeze.

What Does Note Mover Shortcut Offer?

This plugin provides a robust set of features to keep your Obsidian vault tidy:

  • Move Single Notes: Quickly relocate your active note to any specified folder.
  • Batch Move Notes: Efficiently process and move multiple notes from an “Inbox” folder to their designated locations based on tags.
  • Automated Moving: Set up periodic movements to automatically clear your inbox based on defined criteria.
  • Tag-Based Organization: Utilize powerful rules to move notes to specific folders based on their tags, giving you granular control over your vault’s structure.
  • History & Undo Functionality: Keep track of all note movements and easily revert any changes if needed, whether for individual notes or bulk operations.

Note Mover Shortcut is all about speed, simplicity, and powerful automation to help you maintain a clean and organized Obsidian workspace.

It might be useful to add a section to the README highlighting the differences between this plugin and Auto Note Mover.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve just added a section to the README that highlights the key differences between this plugin and Auto Note Mover. Appreciate the feedback – it helps make the project more clear for others too! Let me know if you think anything else should be clarified.

That’s a clear description.

But Auto Note Mover can be triggered manually instead of on save, so that’s not a difference.

Now that I look closer it seems to me the biggest differences are that yours can be scheduled and doesn’t have an option to trigger on save. If yours can trigger different movements separately, that’s a notable difference too (ANM can handle different movements but they’re all part of a single set of rules that use priority and matching to decide which to apply).

I think your plugin’s ability to “transfer all notes from a designated “Inbox” folder” might be something ANM can’t do, but I’m not totally sure.

You’re right. I’m not specifically familiar with the features of Auto-Note-Mover. After another look, it seems the history feature is the biggest difference for now as well as the transfer all notes from an inbox folder as you mentioned. I’ll adjust the README again accordingly.

I’m currently working on further features that will offer clearer distinctions. This includes a significantly more complex rule feature. The screenshot shows a design draft with an example of what that could look like in the future.
