Bold Folder Name

Bold Folder Name is a small Obsidian plugin that makes folder names bold in the native File Explorer.

Features

  • Makes every folder name bold by default.
  • Optional Only top-level folders setting limits bold styling to folders directly beneath the vault root.
  • Uses one consistent bold weight from Obsidian's --font-bold CSS variable.
  • Leaves files, Folder Info counters, collapse icons, and inline rename fields unchanged.
  • Restores native styling immediately when the plugin is disabled.

Installation

BRAT

Add this repository to BRAT, then enable Bold Folder Name in Obsidian's Community Plugins settings.

Manual installation

Create .obsidian/plugins/bold-folder-name/ and copy these release assets into it:

main.js
manifest.json
styles.css

Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin.

Settings

  • Only top-level folders: Off by default. When enabled, only folders directly beneath the vault root are bold.

Security and privacy

The plugin performs no network requests, telemetry, vault reads, vault writes, Node.js calls, or Electron calls. It stores only its local display preference.

The build has no runtime dependencies and uses root-level build files for clean automated verification.
