The Auto Note Mover plugin helps automatically sort notes in Obsidian based on tags and regular expressions, making organization easier.
I try to duplicate and store all possible information in Obsidian. Typically, I add all new notes to the Inbox folder and manually sort them into folders from time to time.
However, some notes could be sorted automatically without my involvement. That’s where the Auto Note Mover plugin comes in handy.
Setting Up Auto Note Mover
After installing the plugin, go to its settings and configure the necessary automation parameters. There are several options, most of which control the overall functionality of Auto Note Mover.
For example, you can:
- Move notes manually,
- Use RegExp to search for notes,
- Exclude certain folders from automation.
Creating Sorting Rules
The "Add new rule" section allows you to define the sorting logic with three fields:
- Destination Folder – where the note will be moved.
- Tag – used to determine whether a note should be moved.
- Note Name (RegExp) – a regular expression for note titles.
If everything is set up correctly, any new or modified note that matches the criteria will be automatically moved.
