Description

Category: Privacy & Security

The Private Mode plugin enhances privacy within Obsidian by allowing users to blur out any content tagged with #private. This helps keep sensitive information hidden by default, whether you're sharing your screen or simply want an extra layer of discretion. The plugin offers three visibility modes: always reveal, reveal on hover, and reveal only when editing. Users can toggle these modes via commands or through a status bar indicator, which also provides screen-sharing visibility cues.

Private Mode

Simple #private mode for Obsidian. All files, links and search results tagged with #private will get blurred out in the default mode. You have to either hover over or focus on the element to show it temporarily or use the command "Reveal all" to always show it.

This plugin requires the obsidian plugin Supercharged Links to work

Features

  • 3️⃣ Three Modes
    • Reveal all: to disable the blurring completely
    • Reveal on hover: only show #private content on hover (default)
    • Reveal never: only show #private content for the currently editing line
  • 🔗 Blur also all links to #private files, or not, its your choice
  • 💻 By default not visible when using screenshare! Keep your secrets :) (desktop-only)
  • 📱 Supported on Obsidian Mobile
  • 🎀 Commands to set visibility (also usable on mobile)
  • ✅ Status bar indicator that shows the current state (desktop-only)
    • left click to cycle visibility
    • right click to open the menu
    • red means recording and obsidian will be visible in screensharing
  • ⌨️ Recommended keyboard shortcuts (not set by default)
    • ALT-L to cycle visibility
    • ALT-SHIFT-L to cycle screen share protection
  • 💬 Callout private, which is also blurred and can be collapsed via default Obsidian behaviour for even more "hidden-ness"

Installing

  1. Install Supercharged Links via the Settings Panel "Community Plugins"
  2. Install Private Mode via the Settings Panel "Community Plugins"
  3. Enable both plugins in the Settings panel "Community Plugins"
  4. Go into the Settings Panel for "Supercharged Links" and make sure the "Enable in tab headers" is turned on. Otherwise the plugin will not blur your #private files in the editor.
  5. (Optional) Adjust the styles.scss/styles.css to your liking
    • to compile the scss you can use sass npm install -g sass and sass styles.scss styles.css
  6. Enable the two plugins in your Obsidian in the Settings panel "Community Plugins"

Troubleshooting

  • My file content is not hidden!
    • Make sure you have the Supercharged Links setting "Enable in tab headers" turned on. Also try turning that off and on again if it was on already. Sometimes Supercharged Links doesnt correctly tag the tab headers.

Credits

Huge thanks to Privacy Glasses for the groundwork and being licensed under MIT. Use that plugin if you want a more in depth configuration. I personally didn't need or want that much customization and overhead in my plugin. Also i found the "flickering" when opening any file to be too distracting, so i created a simpler version for myself.
