in plain english

TimePoint is a plugin for Obsidian, the popular note taking app, that turns your daily notes into a visual timeline. Instead of scrolling through a long text file of what happened during the day, TimePoint shows events as cards laid out along a 00:00 to 24:00 axis, so you can see at a glance when things occurred. Every event is still stored as an ordinary Markdown file in your vault, so there is no account, backend server, or telemetry involved. The plugin only makes internet requests if you turn on an optional feature for previewing external links, and even then it only fetches public web pages. The timeline supports panning and zooming, with separate horizontal zoom and vertical time scale controls, so you can spread out a busy morning or compress a quiet afternoon without changing when events actually happened. You can drag cards around the canvas to arrange them visually, and this repositioning never changes the underlying event time stored in the note. Double clicking a card opens the full note in Obsidian's normal editor, where all your usual editing and autosave behavior applies. The plugin also supports an optional relationship view that shows links between notes and events as connected cards, and it can export a day or a date range of entries as Markdown, JSON, CSV, or a portable folder of notes. The README states that a human, J. Hall, set the product direction and did the hands on testing and review, while OpenAI Codex produced the actual code, interface, performance work, automated tests, and release packaging under that direction. The current beta build is reported to pass 215 out of 215 full test suite checks and 91 out of 91 stress tests, along with linting, formatting, and dependency audit checks. Installation for the beta happens through a community tool called BRAT, which lets you add the plugin directly from its GitHub repository before it is available in Obsidian's official plugin directory, or by manually copying three release files into your vault's plugin folder. The interface currently supports English and Simplified Chinese. The full README is longer than what was shown.
