Templates

A collection of note templates for tasks, projects, notes, and areas, designed to work alongside the Agenda Next and Template Picker addons.

Templates

Template Icon Purpose
1. Goal bxs-star-half High-level goals and aspirations
2. Routine bx-sync Recurring tasks and habits
3. Task bx-check Standard single tasks
4. Future bxs-hourglass Someday/maybe items and deferred tasks
5. Project bx-check-double Multi-step projects with subtasks
6. Note bx-notepad General-purpose notes
7. Area bxs-circle Areas of responsibility (list view)
8. Special (none) Root container template — used by the templates root note itself

All templates carry the #template label so they are automatically discoverable by the Template Picker widget. Task-type templates (Routine, Task, Future, Project) also carry #agendaTaskWidget for integration with the Agenda Next task display.

Customization

Template content is entirely up to you. After installation, open any template note and add whatever default content, structure, or labels you want new notes of that type to inherit.

Because these are user-customizable, all templates are tracked via AddonData: relations in the persistence tree. If you customize a template and a future addon update changes the default content, TAM will show an Update Review prompt so you can choose whether to keep your version or accept the new default — your edits are never silently overwritten.

Labels Applied

Each task-type template receives these labels at install time:

Label Value Purpose
#template (empty) Marks the note as a Trilium template
#agendaTaskWidget (empty) Enables the Agenda Next task display widget
#label:area single Restricts the area label to a single value
#iconClass (varies) Sets the tree icon

The 7. Area template additionally has #viewType=list to default new area notes to list view.

Installation

Install via Trilium Addon Manager by adding https://beatlink.github.io/trilium-scripts/catalog.json as a catalog, or import the ZIP from Releases.
