Consultant Notes

Consultant Notes helps you log your daily work by project in a clean weekly calendar view. Each note has a type — meeting, in-progress, completed, at-risk, blocked, and more — so your week tells a clear story at a glance. Everything is stored privately in your browser — no account, no server, no subscription required. Sync and export are entirely opt-in and use your own credentials. Built for consultants, freelancers, engineers, developers, designers, and anyone who wants a structured work log that stays on their machine. 📅 WEEKLY CALENDAR VIEW Notes are organised in a 7-day grid. Navigate to any week with a single click. Click any day header to focus on that day's notes only. Every note shows its type, icon, and content at a glance. 📂 PROJECT-BASED ORGANISATION Create as many projects as you need and switch between them instantly. Notes belong to a project and a day — clear, structured, no clutter. ⚡ QUICK-LOG FROM ANY PAGE Select text on any web page and click "Log with Consultant Notes" to create a note in today's slot immediately. Or right-click selected text and choose "Log with Consultant Notes". Choose your preferred trigger in Settings → Logging Mode: • Only when the side panel is open (default — minimal footprint) • On any text selection • Right-click context menu only ☁️ GITHUB GIST SYNC (OPTIONAL) Push your notes to a private GitHub Gist using your own Personal Access Token. Pull from any other device and merge — local notes are never overwritten. Soft-delete with sync propagation — deletions sync across devices; purge permanently when you're ready. 🔮 OBSIDIAN INTEGRATION (OPTIONAL) Send the current week's notes to your Obsidian vault via the obsidian:// URI scheme — no plugin required. Fully customisable Markdown template with variables for person name, project, week, and individual notes. Option to create a new note per week or append to a single target note. 💾 JSON BACKUP AND IMPORT Export your full data set (notes, projects, settings) as a portable JSON file. Import merges safely — no duplicates, no data loss, local edits are always preserved. Compatible with the standalone Consultant Notes web app at weekly.consultantnotes.com. 🖨️ EXPORT WEEK TO PDF Capture the current week's notes as a clean PDF with a single click — name, project, and week are included in a header, and the file downloads instantly. ⚙️ PREFERENCES Configure the first day of the week (Sunday or Monday) and choose your preferred date display format from ten options. 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST All data lives in your browser's IndexedDB. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly set up Gist sync using your own GitHub token. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party services. The extension has no backend and requires no account.
