Control Center

Manage the enabled state, delayed startup, device-type rules, and notes for installed Obsidian plugins.

中文

Features

• Plugin list management: display all installed plugins in a table, sortable by name, status, delay, modified time, and notes
• Enable/disable toggle: switch a plugin on or off and record the change time automatically
• Delayed startup: set an N-second delay for a plugin; it takes effect immediately in the current session and applies the delay on the next Obsidian startup
• Device-type control: disable plugins per device type (phone, tablet, desktop); rules apply automatically when switching devices
• Letter index: jump to plugins quickly by their first letter
• Search filter: search by plugin name or note content
• Notes: add Markdown notes to plugins, with support for internal links
• Backup/restore: save and restore enabled states, device rules, delays, and notes
• Bilingual UI: choose Chinese or English in the settings; the main UI and notifications switch immediately
• Console logs: disabled by default, can be enabled from the settings page

Device Type Control

Each plugin has three device-type icons (📱 phone, 📋 tablet, 💻 desktop). Click an icon to toggle whether that device type is disabled for the plugin.

Device types use a deny-list:

• Empty list: enabled on all device types
• Contains only the current device type: disabled on this device, enabled on others
• Contains all three device types: plugin is globally disabled

Save & Restore for Troubleshooting

With many Obsidian plugins installed, it can be hard to find which plugin is causing a bug or conflict. Save the current enabled/disabled configuration first, then freely disable many plugins while troubleshooting. When you are done, click Restore to bring every plugin back to its saved state in one click.
