12 Obsidian Plug-ins I *Actually* Use

[@diontryban5645]

The developer of the calendar plugin, Liam Cain, is a core developer of Obsidian. So I wouldn't worry about it not being updated in 3 years. It's probably just so independent from the Obsidian API that nothing has broken it so far

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Thanks for the info! Wasn’t aware of that but it makes total sense now. Def gives me ease of mind. I could also see obsidian adopting this natively in the future.

[@Flackon]

Calendar is so ubiquitous and supported it should just graduate to a core plugin tbh

[@elisacordeiro4497]

omg how come i never heard of the chord sheets plug-in before 😭 thank you so much great video and lovely theme

[@diemap]

0:39 I am not sure if someone already write this, but in docs for Calendar plugin it says, that if you enter 0 as number of words per day, dots would be turned off

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Ooh thanks for letting me know!! I wasn’t aware.

[@niki.cunningham]

I recently switched to the Journal plugin by Sergii Kostyrko. It's supposed to be kind of a replacement for periodic notes and calendar and is actively being updated and upgraded.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Thanks for the recommendation! It sounds good, I’m gonna check it out

[@PennWing-ti6pt]

I did not know about the Chord Sheet Plugin. Thanks a ton. This can potentially save me the cost of an annual subscription for Ultimate Guitar Tabs. Also, I love the idea of saving the chords and tabs of my favorite songs in my Obsidian Vault. Love and Blessings from India.

[@jesessoms]

So I’m very new to Obsidian. And I have no coding knowledge at all. I am a musician and would love to know how to implement the chord sheet plug in. I found the plugin…downloaded it and enabled it. But I cannot figure out how to actually use it. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Hi! Please go to the chords plug-in in your settings and click on the plug-in settings. There should be a setting called “block language specifier”. This is a word you type at the top of the page that will allow this plug-in to work. For me that word is ‘chords’, but it can be any word. Then add ```+your word (```chords for me) to the top of a note, and now you have a “block” in which you can copy-paste your chord sheets. I hope this helps! If it doesn’t, please send me a message on Instagram (@ notebookoverload) and I’ll troubleshoot with you there.

[@rebeccajames6977]

Please do more videos on Obsidian! I love your video and how you explain things. It makes Obsidian feel more accessible to those of us who are new to it.

[@lessarey]

i found Obsidian through you. Thank you! i can make sense of my own rabbit hole thoughts and personal research. it's making therapy notes and blog writing so much easier. i was afraid of the plug-in though. can't wait to try some of your suggestions.

[@MartinsDudah]

Your theme customization is beautiful! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us :D

[@ella_nym]

the way i downloaded almost every single plugin you mentioned. thank you so much for sharing!

[@traceymcgrath]

This was fun! Thank you. And yes, the developers are awesome.

[@hiarvingarcia]

liked this format and this is the first i viewed your video. thanks for suggesting these plugins.

[@tendencakriminale9728]

THE CHORD PLUGIN CHANGED MY LIFEEEEE

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Why?

[@hyungtaecf]

That is awesome! By the way, the feature of saving the scroll speed into the frontmatter was my suggestion and the owner of the plugin just implemented it in no time! I use this plugin a lot and have 3 dedicated vaults only for music.

[@lex1b]

i really would love to use this but i cant for the life of me figure it out or find a tutorial. How do you put chords on obsidian page?

[@tamirlangabaraev7130]

I can't replicate this gorgeus rainbow folder system. NEED HELP!!

[@NotebookOverloadd]

It broke after Obsidians latest update, I think 😭

[@AnLienert]

Which theme is that in your Obisdian?

[@Last_day_events]

anuppuccin

[@bulletjourneys5255]

Well that was the most generous response to a comment I’ve experienced! Thank you for the PasteBin file for your style settings. Love how you helped explain your rationale, even/especially the tangents 😊 I’m happy with disembodied hands or voices! Just appreciate the great content. ❤

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Thank you so much!!

[@happybear4ever]

I’ve been loving obsidian too! I’ve found I don’t even need any community plug ins to enjoy the software which is amazing imo. I love the template feature! I used it to create a “ Insert current date” command without a plugin

[@NotebookOverloadd]

It’s definitely also really good on its own. If I would lose all my plug ins I think I would still really love the software as is!

[@pointeplusplus]

I finally decided to use obsidian as my note taking/information gathering app today and I’m excited to get into it (close call with notion). I’ll check these plugins out, thank you 😊

[@maurolimaok]

I really hope you do a complete list on Obsidian. Your insights are really useful.

[@nathaliamoraes7465]

Loved the video! I wish I could like it twice 😊

[@andreaswocke5845]

very nice and appreciative videos, thank you very much!!! I have a question: at the bottom right you can see the graph view, which changes dynamically depending on the open note. How does that work? Best regards and thanks again.

[@ianbradford5985]

I was going to ask the same thing!! This feature specifically is what I'm trying to implement, please assist!!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing ☺☺

[@luciusrex]

Thanks for sharing! i use just 5, could do with 4: Dataview, Iconize, LaTeX Suite, Paste Image Rename and Tag Wrangler. I got the last 2 after watching this video, but i already have a python script that changes tag names, but i dont mind the convenience Tag Wrangler provides. I was checking out the calendar plugin but decided to use something more simpler, pen/paper calendar on my desk for schedule conflicts or ig i've been using excel for my calendar that works too (its only for school/class/work conflicts)!

[@HPaulHammann]

The voice over format is nice, very informative.

[@Saltkoenigin]

Oh so I can get everything that is in ma brain onto obsidian Good as I know the whole history of the world And Japan,Germany and China in very great detail More than natives (am german) It's kinda alot of info Now I just need figure out how I want to start with obsidian 😂

[@DustinMillerPolyInnovator]

Calendar by Cain is completely overshadowed by Journals.

[@maurolimaok]

Just add Anupuccin, and your style choices... AMAZING VISIBILITY! Thanks a lot. This will save me a lot of time.

[@tietscho]

Why is the Avenir Font so expensive :(

[@NotebookOverloadd]

I didn’t pay for it. I just selected it in the dropdown menu under options > appearance > font.

[@tietscho]

@@NotebookOverloadd maybe your computer already has it

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Check out Avenir LT Pro, it’s free and very similar :) www.cufonfonts.com/font/avenir-lt-pro

[@PlaceholderName-b4d]

What I do is I have a commonplace notebook, and then I transfer things to Obsidian when I get home.

[@daedalusjones4228]

Fantastic video. I’m going to install most or all of your recommendations. Thanks!

[@seitenwende]

Personally, I like you talking with your hands more :) But great content both ways! Could you do a tutorial on how you set up your Obsidian vault? Thank you so much for letting us copy your style settings, I will try to use it :)

[@boyz_ii_men]

I loved your video. I love using Obsidian, I can't live without it. And I really loved your setup.

[@Saddy-c6s]

Would you mind sharing the theme you are using? It looks great?

[@Saddy-c6s]

Would you mind sharing the theme you are using? It looks great?

[@yumilv7423]

Hej I was wondering what theme are you using? It looks really nice!

[@Jessicamiri1]

I love your theme 🤩 thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@rikardmansson5668]

Can you make a video where you explain your workflow with daily notes and natural language dates

[@SethMSparks]

5:35 - DFTBA

[@NotebookOverloadd]

DFTBA ✨

[@torspedia]

Ta for this. While I didn't install all of the plugins you've mentioned here, I did install a few of them... along with the theme. 🙂

[@danielgarciamagarinos3658]

Thanks a lot! The Chord plug-in is awesome!!!!

[@woo.cash.]

Amazing and helpful content. Keep amazing job!

[@Stormbrise]

Homepage refuses to be installed on my Mac

[@maurolimaok]

Can you make a video about your theme? It's awesome.

[@GlennRussell]

Love this color scheme, thanks for the pastebin!

[@gustavarium]

You are the absolute best. Thank you!

[@rhedonlyrhed9155]

I've been this specific with my plug ins the first time but having used it more on android, i end up losing the shortcuts and run on "properties" after it updated 😂 some of your plug-ins are automated versions of the hotkeys available with a little upgrade which i love about obsidian's community plug-in features but you're right about risking depending on them too much(that was problem mimicking desktop users huhu). also i admire how you keep up with ONE vault, but I think that's just my personal problem with always starting from scratch when a system doesn't work for me (like copying desktop notes to my android vault or vice versa and the note features clash from the plug-in availability)

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Oh yeah I’m definitely a one vault person!! I don’t think I could keep up with multiple 😆 I’ve changed my system a few times but always within the same vault. That’s a pain tho lol

[@Saddy-c6s]

Would you mind sharing the theme you are using? It looks great?

[@Winter0192]

She did. Style settings + AnuPPuccin or whatever

[@SergeyHudiev]

Thank you!

[@Noloiteringzone]

how does your graph move as you change notes like that?

[@ducc6613]

It utilizes a local graph tab placed in the bottom right I believe

[@Arion-xx5uc]

What type of font you use in your obsidian setup? I'm curious.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

‘Avenir’ for everything! It’s my fave :)

[@oliverdann]

The chords plugin, how is this code block?

[@NotebookOverloadd]

It's a code block but you don't actually put any code in it, just using a code block for formatting. Triple backticks ``` creates a code block, and then adding the word ```chords to create chord symbols.

[@АндрейРумянцев-т8и]

Plz say, what's theme u use?

[@Last_day_events]

anuppuccin

[@mikew2883]

Copilot is not on your list?? You are definitely missing out!
