How to Automatically Apply Templates to New Notes in Obsidian

So you’ve created a template in Obsidian (if you have not yet, check out the official documentation for how to create a template). However, applying the same template every time to each new note becomes tedious. Here’s how to create new notes with a template already applied:

1. Open Obsidian settings from the gear icon located on the bottom left
2. Open the community plugins options tab, and select Browse.
3. Search for the “Templater” plugin. Install and enable it.
4. Go into the Templater plugin settings, and enter your template folder location
5. Enable Trigger Templater on new file creation
6. Enable file regex templates. Leave the file regex on the left side as is to apply the template to every new note. ¹ On the right side, select the template you want to use.
7. Done! Try creating a new note, the template should now be applied automatically.
