Evernote Decryptor
The Evernote Decryptor plugin enables users to manage encrypted data imported from Evernote.
Arrows
The Arrows plugin allows you to draw arrows between various parts of your notes, mimicking traditional paper. To create an arrow, utilize the syntax {arrow-identifier|color} at both ends of the arrow. Customize the placement and appearance with options for diagonal arrows, multiple endpoints, and arrowheads. Navigate through arrows using the identifiers that appear as small circles when the cursor is outside the syntax.
Templated Daily Notes
This plugin simplifies the creation of daily notes, allowing you to specify an icon, description, template, and folder for file creation directly from a button in the left ribbon.
Aloud — Text To Speech
Aloud is a plugin that converts text to audio using realistic voices powered by OpenAI. It offers six voice options and streams audio sentence-by-sentence for immediate playback, complete with controls for skipping forward and backward. Audio files are saved temporarily in the .tts directory and are automatically deleted after a few hours.
My Bible
My Bible is a customizable markdown Bible integrated within Obsidian. It organizes a folder structure with one note per chapter, automatically populating it with text as you read. The plugin uses an API to download text and metadata for various Bible translations, allowing you to choose from available versions.
Protected Note
The Protected Note plugin lets you secure your notes with a password. While it restricts access through Obsidian, notes can still be accessed via the local file system. To establish a password, simply enable the password setting and enter your desired credentials.
Status Bar Organizer
This plugin offers users the ability to customize their Obsidian status bar by rearranging or hiding elements. Any modifications made to the status bar will be saved and remain through restarts of Obsidian. If a previously installed plugin with a status bar element is removed, its previous position will be saved and displayed in the settings.
View Count
The View Count plugin tracks the number of views for each file in an Obsidian vault. You can view this count as a property within the file or at the bottom of the note in the status bar. The plugin offers two storage options for the view count: Property and File. The count can increment once a day or each time the file is opened, depending on your settings.
Command Block List
This plugin allows you to hide unwanted commands from the command palette in Obsidian. You can specify which commands to exclude in the plugin settings.
Image Inline
This plugin enhances Obsidian's functionality by allowing users to embed images directly within their notes, converting images into base64 encoded strings. This method eliminates the need for separate image files, improving the overall organization of notes.
Tag Formatter
The Tag Formatter plugin modifies how tags are displayed in preview mode. It enables users to shorten nested tags by hiding parent tags, remove the hash symbol (#), conceal parts of tags based on specific patterns, and add CSS classes to all tags, shortened tags, or tags based on their parent tags.
