Counter Plugin for Obsidian

A simple Obsidian plugin that creates interactive number counters with +/- buttons.

Usage

To create a counter, use the following syntax in your notes:

~ ( ) counter label

This will render as an interactive counter starting at 0, with minus and plus buttons to decrease or increase the value.

Examples

~ ( ) Tasks completed
~ ( ) Days streak
~ ( ) Points earned

Each counter is independent and maintains its own value in your markdown file. When you click the +/- buttons, the value is updated in the source markdown.
