GUID Renamer
This plugin ensures that files are renamed with unique GUID-style identifiers, preventing any potential conflicts in your folders and files.
Fast Text Color
The Fast Text Color plugin enables users to apply color to their text effortlessly, resulting in visually appealing and interactive notes. It employs a specific syntax to manage colors and offers various formatting options, including italic, bold, underline, and more. Users can modify text color via the context menu or through a command palette option.
Dataview Serializer
The Dataview Serializer transforms Dataview queries into Markdown format. It works in conjunction with the Dataview plugin and saves the output within your notes, allowing links to display on the graph. The resulting content is also compatible with Obsidian Publish, unlike the standalone Dataview plugin.
Syrinscape Player
This plugin enhances tabletop role-playing games by adding immersive audio effects and soundscapes. It integrates smoothly with Obsidian, allowing users to access soundscapes easily and control playback with a simple button.
Smart Memos
Smart Memos offers sophisticated transcription and note-taking capabilities by converting audio files into written notes using OpenAI models. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to find and transcribe audio files.
RPG Stat Tracker
This plugin gamifies note-taking by tracking the time spent in your vault and rewarding users with experience points based on the number of notes created.
Daily Note Structure
Daily Note Structure automates the organization of daily notes into a designated folder structure. Using moment.js for date formatting, it allows for customizable patterns and templates.
Doing
The Doing plugin aids users in tracking their ongoing tasks within Obsidian. It's particularly beneficial for those who frequently shift focus and need reminders of their current projects, displaying tasks in the status bar.
Sticky Headings
Similar to a previous plugin, Sticky Headings enhances both writing and reading experiences by making headings interactive. Users can switch between different display modes, and headings are clickable for easy navigation.
Front Matter Timestamps
This plugin adds created and modified timestamps to the notes' front matter, automatically updating the modified time to help track changes without relying on file attributes.
e-Daiary
Designed for daily journaling, this plugin creates entries based on the current day of the year. Clicking the Ribbon Icon creates a structured file for journaling.
