Perfect for researchers, students, writers, and knowledge workers who want a structured yet flexible note-taking system.\n\n**🌟 Key Features:**\n- **Flat, folder-free organization** - Uses tags instead of rigid folder hierarchies\n- **Optional MOCs** - Maps of Content can be removed entirely\n- **Rich templates** - Notes, journals, meetings, people, references, and visual content\n- **Automated metadata** - Links, dates, and tags inserted automatically\n- **Habit tracking** - Built-in daily habit monitoring\n- **Visual support** - Excalidraw integration for drawings and diagrams\n\n\u003e **Note:** This template uses a **flat, folder-free organization system**. All MOC (Map of Contents) files are optional and can be removed - the vault's structure is primarily controlled by #tags rather than folders. MOCs provide convenient views but aren't required for organization.\n\nExplore the [[00_Home MOC]] for detailed insights.\n\n# Setup Guide\n\n## Installation\n\n**Option 1: Download ZIP (Recommended)**\n- Click the green \"Code\" button → \"Download ZIP\"\n- Extract to a folder (rename as desired, e.g., `my-zettelkasten`)\n\n**Option 2: Git Clone**\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/kulapoo/obsidian-template.git my-zettelkasten\n```\n\n**Next Steps:**\n1. Open Obsidian app\n2. Create new vault → \"Open folder as vault\"\n3. Select your extracted/cloned folder\n4. The vault will auto-configure with plugins and settings\n5. Restart Obsidian to ensure all plugins load correctly\n\n![Download Repository](./attachments/download-repo.png)\n![Open Vault](./attachments/open-vault.png)\n\n## Manual Setup\n\nIf the above steps fail, follow these manual setup instructions to ensure proper configuration.\n\n### Enable Community Plugins\n\n1. Open Obsidian.\n2. Navigate to `Settings \u003e Community plugins \u003e Browse`.\n3. Enable community plugins if they are turned off (this is the default behavior).\n\n![please check](./attachments/plugins.png)\n\n### Install Required Plugins\n\n1. Search for and install the following plugins:\n  - [Dataview](https://obsidian.md/plugins?search=dataview)\n  - [Templater](https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=templater-obsidian)\n  - [Commander](https://obsidian.md/plugins?search=Commander) - This plugin allows you to swipe down from the top on a mobile device to display the \"Create from template\" option.\n  - [Excalidraw](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin) - sketch / drawing\n\n### Setup Templater\n\n1. Change the **Template folder location** to \"templater/templates\".\n2. Change the **Script files folder location** to \"scripts/templates\".\n\n![set default template folder](./attachments/setup-templater-folder.png)\n\n![set default template scripts](./attachments/setup-templater-script-folder.png)\n\n### Setup Default Created Notes Folder Destination\n\nThis should be automatically configured when you open the vault, but if it's not working:\n\n1. Go to `Settings \u003e Files and links \u003e Default location for new notes`.\n2. In the dropdown menu, select \"In the folder specified below\".\n3. Set the \"Folder to create new notes in\" setting to **notes**.\n\n\u003e **Note:** This setting is pre-configured in the template, but verify it's set correctly if new notes aren't being created in the `notes` folder.\n\n\u003e You might want to check out the scripts under the `scripts` folder that contain constants for formatting dates and other similar purposes.\n\n# Usage Guide\n\n## Templates\n\nUtilize the convenient shortcut `ctrl + N` on Windows or `cmd + N` on Mac to create a new note and choose from a variety of templates:\n\n- **note** - Creates a note with `#input` tag\n- **daily** - Daily journal template with `#log/journal` tag\n- **event** - Event documentation with `#log/event` tag\n- **book** - Book template with `#source/book` tag\n- **meeting** - Meeting notes with `#log/meeting` tag\n- **people** - People profiles with `#person` tag\n- **reference** - Reference material with `#info/reference` tag\n- **excalidraw** - Visual content with `#input` and `#excalidraw/note` tags\n\nTo learn more about using templates, please refer to the [Templater](https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/) documentation\n\n\u003e `/templater/macros/z_init.md` - This file is used in each template to insert metadata such as links, creation date, ordinal numbers, and tags.\n\n\u003e `/templater/macros/z_habit.md` - This file is used in each journal or daily template, recommended for tracking frequent habits or tasks you usually do, especially those that may change unexpectedly\n\n## Tag System\n\nThe vault uses a structured tagging system to organize content without folders:\n\n### Input \u0026 Processing\n- **`#input`** - Unprocessed notes and excalidraw drawings that need review\n\n### Content Sources\n- **`#source/book`** - Books as reference material\n\n### Information \u0026 Documentation\n- **`#info/reference`** - Reference materials and documentation\n\n### Activity Logs\n- **`#log/journal`** - Daily journal entries\n- **`#log/event`** - Event records\n- **`#log/meeting`** - Meeting notes\n\n### Task Management\n- **`#status/todo`** - General tasks to be done\n- **`#status/overdue`** - Overdue tasks (high priority)\n- **`#status/backlog`** - Future/someday items\n- **`#delegate`** - Tasks delegated to others\n\n### Special Categories\n- **`#person`** - People and contact information\n- **`#excalidraw/note`** - Visual drawings and diagrams\n- **`#maps`** - MOC (Map of Contents) files\n\n## Journaling\n\nFor a structured daily journal, update templates under `/templater/macros/z_daily_task_start.md` and `/templater/macros/z_daily_task_end.md`.\n\n## Habits\n\nFor daily habit tracking, use the `/templater/macros/z_habit.md` template. This template helps you monitor and maintain daily habits by providing a checklist section in your journal.\n\n\u003e **Note:** This template provides manual habit tracking through checklists - it doesn't automatically track habits.\n\n# Customization\n\n## Templates\n\nMake your Zettelkasten uniquely yours by personalizing templates found in `templater/templates`. Tailor the system to match your distinctive style and preferences.\n\n## Display\n\nMost of the MOC files utilize the Dataview plugin. To customize them, please refer to the [Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) documentation.\n\n## Theme\n\nYou can customize the appearance of your Obsidian notes by using the [Style Settings](https://obsidian.md/plugins?search=Style%20settings) plugin or exploring other style settings options.\n\n# Explore More\n\n## Related Resources\n\n- [[Zettelkasten study from Youtube]]\n- [[Digital Zettelkasten- Principles, Methods, \u0026 Examples]]\n- [Linking Your Thinking](https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/)\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions!
