Joplin Inline Timers Plugin
This plugin allows you to easily add timers directly into your Joplin notes. When viewing your notes, the timers become clickable links that automatically start a timer in a dedicated sidebar panel.
How to Use
The plugin supports two types of timers:
1. Unnamed Timers
Simply type out a duration in your note. The plugin automatically detects time formats and converts them into clickable timers.
Syntax: <number> <unit> (e.g., 5 mins, 10 seconds, 1 hr)
Example: "Bake the cake for 45 mins."
Supported time units include:
- seconds, sec, secs
- minutes, min, mins
- hours, hr, hrs
2. Named Timers
You can give your timers a specific name by using a Markdown-like link syntax. The name will be displayed in the timer panel so you know exactly what the timer is for.
Syntax: [Timer Name](timer: <duration>)
Example: [Boil eggs](timer: 5 mins)
When you click on any timer in your note, the timer sidebar will automatically open and the countdown will begin.
