Template gallery

Install a ready-made project tracker, CRM, habit tracker, meeting notes, OKRs or reading list into any folder. Nothing is downloaded.

On this page

The template gallery gives you complete starting points: a database note, a few example rows, and where it helps, a note template. Open the template gallery, pick one, and choose the folder to install it into.

What ships

Template What you get
Project tracker A Projects database with a board grouped by status and a calendar by due date, plus example projects.
CRM Two databases, Clients and Deals, joined by a relation, so every deal also appears in its client’s backlinks.
Habit tracker One note per day with a checkbox per habit, and a calendar view to see streaks.
Meeting notes A database of meetings and a meeting template with attendees, agenda, decisions and actions.
OKRs Objectives and Key results databases, linked by a relation, with a progress number on each key result.
Reading list A gallery of books with covers, a rating and a status.

All of the content is written for Scaffold. The examples are invented, so delete them whenever you like.

How installing works

  • Generated on your device. Template files are created by the app itself. Nothing is fetched from the internet.
  • Nothing is overwritten. If a file with the same name already exists in the folder, the new one gets a number added to its name instead.
  • Placeholders are filled in. {{date}} and {{title}} in a template become today’s date and the note’s title, the same variables as daily notes and templates.
  • When the install finishes, Scaffold opens the template’s main note, usually its database.

Make it yours

A template is not a locked object. After installing, it is simply notes in a folder:

  • Rename properties, add options or new views by editing the database: frontmatter, or through the database menus. See Databases.
  • Move the folder anywhere in your vault. Database notes find their rows by folder, so keep the database note and its rows together, or update source.folder.
  • Share a setup by copying the folder. The other person needs nothing but Scaffold, or any text editor.
