What problem does it solve?
Obsidian Bases turns messy vault notes into structured, always-up-to-date views—so you can filter, compute, and summarize information without maintaining a separate database.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Database-like views over Markdown: Define
.base files in YAML to render table, cards, list, or map views from vault notes.
- Computed columns with formulas: Create derived properties using filterable, per-note formula expressions (e.g., dates, math, status labels, string formatting).
- Aggregations and dashboards: Add summaries such as Sum, Average, Min/Max, Median, Unique, Earliest/Latest to produce rollups across matching notes, then embed views with
![[YourBase.base#View Name]].
- Scope notes precisely with filters: Use rich filter logic (and/or/not) with properties, tags, folder paths, links, backlinks, and regex matches.
- Practical EOS integration: Author
.base files directly in the vault and hot-reload them into EOS wiki pages or operational dashboards by embedding.
Quick Start
Use the obsidian_bases skill to create or update a MyDashboard.base file in your vault so it renders an embedded table of notes filtered by a specific tag and grouped by a property.
