Bunch of Obsidian Templates

A curated collection of Obsidian.md templates for personal knowledge management, productivity, and life organization.

What is Obsidian?

The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. Your second brain should work the same.

In Obsidian making and following connections is frictionless. Tend to your notes like a gardener; at the end of the day, sit back and marvel at your own knowledge graph.

About This Project

This is a collection of Obsidian templates I've made and curated over time. They're not designed to be perfect out of the box — instead, use them as a starting point to build your own workflow. Pick ideas, remix sections, and adapt them to your needs.

All templates use Templater-style variables ({{date}}, {{title}}, etc.). I recommend the Templater plugin for maximum flexibility.

Usage

Clone or download this repository
Copy the template files into your Obsidian vault's templates folder
Set up Templater (or the core Templates plugin) to point to that folder
Create new notes from templates via the Templater insert command

Tip: For Dataview queries to work, install the Dataview plugin. All templates include Dataview compatible frontmatter fields.

Contributing 🤝

Have a template idea or improvement? PRs are welcome! The goal is to keep templates:

Minimal — easy to adapt
Self documenting — clear section names

Feel free to use, modify, and share these templates however you like.
