Write within your deadline or the post gets archived/deleted - no extensions, no excuses!\n\n## Features\n\n- ⏱️ **Time-Limited Writing**: Set a timer when creating a new post (default: 60 minutes)\n- 📊 **Status Bar Countdown**: Live countdown timer in the status bar\n- ⚠️ **Warning System**: Get notified when time is running low (default: 5 minutes)\n- 🎯 **Grace Period**: 10-second final warning with option to complete or let it fail\n- 📁 **Smart Archiving**: Failed posts are archived by default (not permanently deleted)\n- 🎨 **Template Support**: Use custom templates for your timed posts\n- 🔔 **Frontmatter Tracking**: All timer metadata stored in note frontmatter\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. **Start a Timed Post**\n   - Click the clock icon in the ribbon, or\n   - Use Command Palette: \"Start Timed Post\"\n   - Enter your desired duration in minutes\n   - A new note is created and the timer starts\n\n2. **Write Your Post**\n   - The status bar shows your remaining time\n   - You'll get a warning when time is running low\n   - Focus on completing your writing within the deadline\n\n3. **Complete or Fail**\n   - **To complete**: Use Command Palette → \"Complete Timed Post\"\n   - **If time expires**: A grace modal appears with two options:\n     - \"Complete now\" - Save the post\n     - \"Let it fail\" - Archive/delete the post\n   - After the grace period (10 seconds), the post is automatically archived\n\n## Commands\n\n- **Start Timed Post**: Begin a new timed writing session\n- **Complete Timed Post**: Mark the current post as complete\n- **Cancel Timed Post**: Immediately archive/delete the current post\n\n## Settings\n\n### Timer Settings\n- **Default duration**: How long each timed post lasts (default: 60 minutes)\n- **Warning threshold**: When to show the low-time warning (default: 5 minutes)\n- **Grace period**: Final warning time before archiving (default: 10 seconds)\n\n### File Management\n- **Deletion mode**: Choose what happens to failed posts:\n  - Archive to folder (recommended) - Moves to \"Failed Timed Posts\" folder\n  - Obsidian trash - Uses Obsidian's trash\n  - System trash - Uses your OS trash\n  - Permanent delete - Deletes immediately (use with caution!)\n- **Archive folder**: Where failed posts are moved (default: \"Failed Timed Posts\")\n- **Timed posts folder**: Where new timed posts are created (empty = vault root)\n- **Template file path**: Optional template to use for new posts\n\n### UI Settings\n- **Show status bar**: Toggle the countdown timer in the status bar\n\n## Frontmatter\n\nTimed posts include metadata in their frontmatter:\n\n```yaml\n---\ntimed-post: true\ntimed-created-at: 2025-01-04T14:30:00.000Z\ntimer-expires: 2025-01-04T15:30:00.000Z\n---\n```\n\nWhen completed:\n```yaml\n---\ntimed-post: false\ncompleted-at: 2025-01-04T15:15:00.000Z\n---\n```\n\nWhen failed:\n```yaml\n---\ntimed-post: false\nfailed-at: 2025-01-04T15:30:00.000Z\nfailed-reason: expired\n---\n```\n\n## Use Cases\n\n- **Focused Writing Sessions**: Force yourself to write without overthinking\n- **Timed Journaling**: Quick daily reflections with a time limit\n- **Brainstorming**: Rapid idea generation under time pressure\n- **Writing Sprints**: Pomodoro-style writing sessions\n- **Draft Creation**: First drafts without perfectionism\n\n## Design Philosophy\n\nThis plugin is intentionally strict:\n- **No extensions**: You get your time and that's it\n- **Single active timer**: Focus on one post at a time\n- **Archive by default**: Failed posts aren't lost, just moved\n- **Restart-resilient**: Timer survives app restarts and sleep\n\nThe goal is to create productive pressure that helps you write without overthinking.\n\n## Installation\n\n### From Obsidian Community Plugins (Coming Soon)\n1.
