Greenit Plugin for Obsidian

A feature-rich plugin for Obsidian that helps you track your daily habits with an intuitive and visually appealing interface.

Features

• Multiple Habit Views: Track your habits in three different ways:
  • GitHub-style Year View: A familiar contribution graph showing your activity over the past year.
  • Month View: A traditional monthly calendar for a detailed daily view.
  • Year Overview: See all 12 months of the year at a glance, perfect for reviewing long-term progress.
• Comprehensive Habit Management: Easily add, edit, and delete habits using a clean UI with a custom dropdown selector.
• Interactive Tracking: Click on any day in the calendar views to toggle a habit as completed or not completed for that day.
• Automatic Data Persistence: All your habit data is automatically saved and loaded with your vault. No manual configuration files needed.
• Streak Calculation: The plugin automatically calculates and displays your current habit streak (visible in the GitHub-style view).
• Responsive Design: The interface adapts to different screen sizes and Obsidian themes.
