What it is
Obsidian Bases turns your notes into organized database views without changing how you write. You can filter notes by tags or folders, create table or card layouts, and add calculated fields like "days until due" or "total price." Perfect for anyone who wants to see their notes as a project tracker, reading list, or task board without learning databases.
What it does
- Creates table, card, list, or map views of your notes based on filters you set
- Lets you group and sort notes by any property (status, date, tags, folders)
- Calculates fields automatically like days until deadline or price totals
- Shows summaries like averages, sums, and counts across your filtered notes
- Works with your existing Obsidian notes without changing how you write them
Use it when
- You're managing projects or tasks in Obsidian and want a cleaner view than scattered notes
- You need to track reading lists, book notes, or research with custom filters and groupings
- You want to see calculated info like "days overdue" or "total budget" without manual updates
- You're organizing lots of notes and need different views (table vs cards) for different contexts
