Automatically move notes based on frontmatter properties. It just works.

• Auto-move on create/update: Watches frontmatter changes and moves notes automatically
• Multiple property mappings: Define value-to-folder rules per property
• Smart conflict handling: Appends unique suffixes (note 1.md, note 2.md) when targets exist
• Ignore folders: Protect template folders by excluding them from processing
• Auto folder creation: Creates missing target directories automatically

cd /path/to/your/vault/.obsidian/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/SHU-red/propmove.git

Enable in Obsidian Settings → Community plugins

Set up properties with value-to-folder rules:

Property: type
  • task → Tasks
  • protocol → Protocols
  • daily → Daily

Property: status
  • draft → Inbox/Drafts
  • final → Archive

Prevent files in specific folders from being moved (useful for templates):

Ignore Folders:
  • templates
  • _archive
  • drafts/work-in-progress

1. When a note is created or frontmatter changes, PropMove checks its properties
2. If the note is in an ignored folder, it's skipped
3. First matching property mapping determines the target folder
4. If target file exists, a numeric suffix is appended (configurable)
5. Note is moved to destination; folders created if needed
