Discord Timestamps

This is a plugin for Obsidian that displays Discord Timestamps (eg. <t:1734818400:D>) in reading mode the way they would display in Discord.

As long as this plugin is enabled, it converts those timestamps throughout the entire note when viewing it in reading mode. You can optionally disable converting timestamps in code blocks under Settings → Discord Timestamps → Convert code blocks.

Appearance

Just like in Discord, the timestamp will have a colored background to it. If you hover over the timestamp (on desktop) or select the timestamp (on mobile), the full date and time will be displayed.

Insert timestamp

There is also a command in the Command palette as well as in the editor context menu to insert a timestamp when you are currently editing a note.

After you select a date and time in the modal that opens, it generates timestamps for you to use in multiple formats. After you select a format, it inserts the timestamp it into your note at your cursor’s location.

Time zone support

Inserting timestamps supports specifying a time zone other than your local time zone for the timestamps to use.

  • The chosen date and time will use the selected time zone when generating timestamps.
  • Reading mode will still display all timestamps in your local time.
    • You can manually specify your local time zone under Settings → Discord Timestamps → Local time zone

Timestamp history

When inserting a timestamp, there is an option to reuse timestamps from your recent history prior to selecting a format.

  • The number of timestamps stored in your recent history can be adjusted under Settings → Discord Timestamps → History size.
