Smart Features | Obsibrain Docs

📅 Natural Language Date Suggester

No more looking at calendars to figure out dates. Obsibrain includes a built-in date suggester that understands natural language.

How to use: Type @ anywhere in a note to open the date menu.
Natural Entry: You can type relative dates like @tomorrow, @next friday, or @in 2 weeks.
Instant Formatting: The system instantly converts your natural text into the correct date format used by Obsibrain, ensuring compatibility across all your views.

⚡ Status Switcher

Updating the progress of your projects and goals should be fast, not a chore.

One Command: Use the Change Status command (Ctrl/Cmd + P then search for "Obsibrain: Change Status") to instantly update any Project or Goal.
Options: Rapidly switch between "Ongoing," "Completed," "On Hold," or "Canceled."
Automatic Sync: The system handles all the metadata updates behind the scenes so your dashboards and progress bars stay accurate.

🛡️ Vault Self-Healing

Obsibrain is designed to be robust while still letting you customize your vault.

Automatic Integrity Checks: Every time you open Obsidian, Obsibrain checks key system assets (like renderers and required structure) so your dashboards keep working.
Templates Stay Editable: Your template edits are preserved and are no longer automatically reset on app launch.
Manual Recovery: If a template gets broken, run Obsibrain: Reset Template to restore that specific template to its default version.
Rename Protection: If you attempt to rename a core folder or template that the system relies on, Obsibrain will trigger a toast warning. This prevents accidental "breaks" in the automation engine while you are organizing your vault.
Peace of Mind: This ensures that the complex "engine" of your Second Brain always stays running, allowing you to focus on your work instead of troubleshooting your tools.

🆘 Integrated Help Center

You don't need to leave Obsidian to find answers or get support.

Quick Access: Click the Obsibrain icon in your status bar (bottom right) to open the Help Center modal.
Support & Docs: Find instant links to official documentation, community support, and common troubleshooting steps. (Note: These are system support links, distinct from your personal 3-resources folder).

🌍 Global Language Support

Obsibrain is built for a global community.

Supported Languages: The system currently supports 9 languages including English, French, German, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic.
Automatic Detection: You don't need to configure anything; the system automatically matches your Obsidian language settings.

📦 Smart Archiving (Dependency Management)

Moving a page to the archives in a linked system like Obsidian can often lead to broken links and "ghost" data. Obsibrain's Archive Page command is designed to prevent this clutter.

Recursive Detection: When you archive a Goal or Project, the system automatically identifies all linked sub-projects, tasks, and notes that were exclusively serving that item.
Bulk Migration: With a single confirmation, Obsibrain moves the entire "family" of related notes to your 4-archives folder.
Integrity Preservation: This ensures that your active workspace stays lean and focused on today's priorities, while your historical data remains searchable and perfectly linked within the archives.
