to be did GitHub

A daily card for Obsidian

What did you do today?

to be did is one small card that floats over your notes. Ten lines, four marks, and a little moment when the last one is done. Then you get to say it: I did it.

Four marks

What it does

Ten lines, on purpose

A card holds ten things at most, and most good days have five to seven. When it's full, finish something or carry it over.

Always on screen

The card floats over whatever note you're in. Drag it anywhere, or shrink it to a pill that shows what you're working on.

Carry it over

One right-click moves an unfinished line to the next workday, and Friday carries to Monday. Each new day offers to bring the leftovers forward.

Back to the context

End a line with a link and the card opens that note. Shift+Enter links whatever note you have open.

Today, tomorrow, someday

Step back through past cards or ahead to tomorrow. Point it at a longer list and the stop after tomorrow is Someday, ready to pull from.

A small moment

Finish the last line and the card says so, once. Then it gets out of the way.

It's just a note

Every card is a plain markdown file, one per day.

Search it, link it, sync it, or let a script or an agent write it. Progress counts live in the frontmatter, there's a small API for other plugins, and nothing is locked away in a database.
