Plugin for Obsidian

Epochgram — A Timemap of Your Mind

Version 1.1.6 · By Andriy Babets

Epochgram

Hi folks,

For almost half a year, I’ve been working on Epochgram, a plugin that changed how I think about notes through time. I wanted a way to preserve daily details, recurring themes, and my own epochs - what I was working on last month, last season, or last year - without having to feed the system by hand.

So here it is, currently waiting for review, but already available via BRAT https://github.com/2brn/epochgram.

Scroll timelineZoom timeline

Create noteActions

Scroll timeline

Key features:

  • One global timeline for the whole vault

  • Gathering records from file metadata, titles, and content

  • No extra markup is required to get your timemap

  • Interactive zoom and an almost limitless timeline to discover

  • Simple gestures: double-click a date to create a note, double-click empty space to scroll to today, drag-n-drop records to change a date… you can do many things right on the timeline

  • See periods of activity and stagnation, like tree rings of your lifespan

  • Fuzzy search and filtering across the whole vault

  • Pins, marks, and review states to support the CODE paradigm

The basic version is completely free and will stay free forever. But if you want to support my development and unlock all features, there is paid Epochgram Pro:

  • Local AI bridge via Google Chrome’s built-in AI, your data stays yours

  • Generating summaries and Epochs, literally summaries of summaries

  • Highlighting similar records by tags, links, and embeddings (local as well)

  • Mark whole groups of similars at once

  • Zero-shot record classification based on your topic

  • Recurring events on the timeline

  • And many more small features you can check on epochgram.com/pro

This is probably my favourite side project I’ve worked on so far, and I would really appreciate any honest feedback about it.

Cheers,
Andriy

Epochgram: A Timemap of Your Mind

Updated to 1.1.11

Changes:

  • Reviews: records are now changed to Draft only for tracked changes. This makes it easier to see when a file was edited and which record needs review on the change date.
  • Fixed the results count when the Draft filter is enabled.
  • Recurring records: if no start date is set, Epochgram now uses the note’s anchor date.
  • AI Bridge: the bridge icon is now hidden when the local server has not been started, if it disabled in settings.
  • Updated the file context menu to match the record context menu.
  • Suppressed timemap actions during scrolling.
  • Added multiple small UI fixes.

I also added a short video showing how I organize my notes with the CODE method in Epochgram.

Update - Epochgram 1.3.9

Recently I started using the Zettelkasten method more seriously, and noticed that new notes often need the same basic structure: related links, YAML properties, sections and so on.

So I added template support for newly created notes. Now, when you create a note by double-clicking on the timeline or from the menu, it can use your Daily Notes core plugin settings: date format, folder location, and template.

I also fixed an issue where the index was not updating when only YAML was changed, and custom YAML description summaries now render as-is, without flattening.

The short video below shows a daily note being created with a custom date format, folder location, and template.
