Native property widgets
Pick a property and get the exact widget Obsidian’s Properties panel would give you: a date picker for dates, a checkbox for booleans, chips for lists. Types are respected end to end. Edit properties
One command. Every property.
MetaEdit edits your notes' metadata - YAML properties, inline
key:: value fields, and tags - from a single menu, using Obsidian's own property widgets. Automate the values you type most, edit whole folders at once, and build on it from your own scripts.Auto Properties
Define the values you use over and over - like a status list - and set
them from a prompt instead of typing. Single or multi-select, with
descriptions and learn-as-you-go values.
Set up Auto Properties
Bulk edit
Right-click a folder or a selection of notes and set a property across all of them, with explicit skip, merge, or overwrite handling for notes that already have it. Bulk edit metadata
Automation
Progress Properties keep task counts up to date on their own, and the Kanban helper updates linked notes when their card changes lane. Automate task counts
Tags, edited where they live
Rename a body #tag in place or edit a frontmatter tags: list as a real
list - MetaEdit handles both homes correctly.
Edit tags
