Easy bake

This plugin helps to compile multiple notes in one single file. For example, you can create a new note with links to all files that you want to compile into a single file. Then launch the bake plugin and it will do its work.

Yet Another Obsidian Synchronizer

This plugin will help you synchronize your vault content with Git. It provides a simple sync solution for your vault. Once you install the plugin, you will see a new sync button.

To use the sync feature, you need to have cloned a git repository for your Obsidian vault

Birthday Tracker

If you keep forgetting the birthdays of your loved ones, this plugin is here for rescue. With this plugin, you will keep track of all the important people in life.

Create a file containing birthday data by following the rules:

name=<name of the person>; birthday=<date of their birth>;
name=<name of the person>; birthday=<date of their birth>;
name=<name of the person>; birthday=<date of their birth>;

You can change the date format as you wish.

Voice

This plugin allows you to listen to your own notes. It can be a very good way to consume your notes. You can learn more easily with auditory input. Also, it can be helpful for multitasking.

But before using the plugin, you will need an AWS account. The free trial account gives you access to 1 million characters per month for the first 12 months.

Unitade

Obsidian only supports markdown file editing. This plugin will help you do more. You can specify the file formats in the plugin’s option and then the file format will be editable.

For example, Obsidian natively doesn’t support CSS files. You can add the CSS file extension in the plugin’s option and you will be able to edit those files. Similarly, you can add other file extensions like .txt.

Quick Note

This plugin lets you create a new note without opening the app. Right-click on the app icon and you will get the option to create a new note.

Currently, it’s only supported on macOS.

Multi tag

Multi tag plugin allows you to add tags to multiple notes at once. Put the notes you want to put a tag into a single folder. Right-click on the folder and apply the tags. The new tag will be applied at the end of the file.

Or you can select files you want to tag and follow the same step to apply multi-tag.

Reflection

This plugin allows you to reflect back on your past daily notes and weekly notes.

Red Pen

This plugin acts as your proofreader. There’s a feature in Obsidian that shows you a red underline for spelling mistakes. But what if you had a better one, a more advanced one?

Red pen is that plugin.

This is not next-level good. But it will help you make your writing better.

Image Converter

If you use a lot of images in your vault, this one is for you. It allows you to convert, compress, and resize images from one format to another.
