recollect

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:50:12 +0100

Recollect.lua

TUI for your notes/daily-notes.
I use it as a personal “wayback” machine.
It integrates into Obsidian.md /obsidian.nvim syntax.

Features:

Tag-Tracker

Track your Tags (deadlines/birthdays etc.) You have several options to
filter for expired/upcoming/all tags and or specify what tags you want
to see. This will also show a preview of the note to the right.

Install:

Check Github, or

Configure with Lazy:
