1. Smart Link Alias

Released on 2024-12-30 by Victor Perez-Cano

The Smart Link Alias plugin enhances how links to Obsidian notes are displayed. By allowing users to set custom aliases for note titles, it provides flexibility in how links appear across notes. Users can define different versions of a note's title, such as abbreviations or full titles, and switch between them easily. This is done by adding YAML frontmatter with properties like 'full-title' and 'short-title' and using specific link display formats like 'short', 'full', or 'long'. This plugin is ideal for users who prefer a more organized and customized link system within their Obsidian vault.

The plugin enhances customization by enabling users to create a personalized Obsidian environment tailored to individual workflows or content types, with themes that automatically adjust based on context.

Released on 2024-12-30 by mnaoumov

The Insert Multiple Attachments plugin enhances the default 'Insert Attachment' feature in Obsidian by enabling users to insert multiple attachments at once. This modification allows for a more efficient workflow, particularly when dealing with large numbers of files that need to be attached to a note.

4. Smart Context

Released on 2024-12-30 by 🌴 Brian

The Smart Context plugin enhances the ability to copy content from Obsidian for use with AI tools like ChatGPT. It allows users to copy entire folders or specific open files, including all linked content, to the clipboard. With advanced features such as excluding sections by heading (e.g., confidential content), it ensures only relevant material is shared. The plugin offers multiple commands, including options to copy content from visible files, all open files, or an entire folder. Notifications summarize the action taken, ensuring users have full control over the context provided to AI. This makes it easier to give AI tools a comprehensive understanding of a project or set of notes.

This simple but effective plugin enhances the user experience by providing greater control over where the cursor appears when creating or editing notes, making it easier to navigate and edit content.

7. Send Note

Released on 2024-12-30 by jvsteiner

The Send Note plugin enables users to easily share notes between Obsidian vaults via AWS S3. Notes are uploaded to a user-provided S3 bucket and shared using a URL, which is embedded in the note's YAML frontmatter. The plugin ensures security by encrypting the content of the notes, allowing only the sender and recipient to access the information. Users can also delete the notes directly from S3 via Obsidian. The plugin supports additional functionalities like setting up custom S3 configurations and integrating with other tools, such as the s3-image-uploader plugin, for seamless media file sharing. This plugin offers an efficient and secure way to collaborate and share notes across different users while maintaining privacy.

Users can define tasks, actions, and relationships between nodes using code blocks or external workflow files. The plugin supports various node flow types and offers a flexible way to document complex workflows. It also provides interactive demos to help users understand the syntax and functionality, making it ideal for visualizing interconnected processes in a structured format.

Released on 2024-12-30 by kalvn

The Export to HTML plugin for Obsidian allows you to easily export the content of your notes as HTML files or directly to your clipboard. This plugin retains the formatting and includes images in base64 format, ensuring the visual integrity of the note when pasted or saved. It supports exporting both as HTML files and clipboard content, making it convenient for sharing or using in other applications like emails or word processors.
