S-Restore Profile

An Obsidian plugin that allows you to bulk reinstall and synchronize your community plugins and themes across different vaults or machines, without relying on manual searches in the built-in community store.

Think of it as a declarative package restorer and profile synchronizer for Obsidian — a portable, lightweight way to maintain a consistent environment everywhere you work.

Why S-Restore Profile?

When managing multiple vaults or moving your workspace to a new machine, Obsidian's built-in manager requires you to manually search, install, and configure each plugin and theme one by one.

With S-Restore Profile, you can:

  • Sync Vaults Instantly: Export your current set of plugins and themes into a single, lightweight profile file (s-resprldata-obsidian.json) and import it into any other vault to bulk-install and activate everything in one click.
  • Maintain Standards: Keep the same visual themes and workflow-essential plugins consistent across personal, work, and secondary vaults.
  • Easy Recovery: Easily restore your plugins and themes after backups or vault migrations.

Features

  • Tabbed Interface: Separate, clean tabs for managing Plugins and Themes.
  • Active Theme Tracking: Identifies which theme is currently active in your vault and automatically sets it as active upon reinstallation.
  • Portable Profiles: Export selected items into a custom JSON profile file (using any filename you choose) and import it into another vault.
  • Intelligent Skipping: Automatically detects and skips already-installed plugins and themes to save bandwidth.
  • Quick Selection: Separate "Select all" and "Deselect all" controls for each tab, with real-time selection counters in the footer.
  • Safe Execution: Self-exclusion prevents the plugin from accidentally uninstalling or modifying itself.
  • Real-Time Logging: Verbose logs showing download steps, versions, and installation success directly inside the modal.
  • Ribbon Access: Quick-launch ribbon icon (s-restore-profile-icon) added to the left sidebar.

Usage

  1. Open S-Restore Profile:
    • Click the custom download icon (featuring an "S") in the left ribbon sidebar, OR
    • Open the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and run S-Restore Profile: Open S-Restore Profile.
  2. Select Items:
    • Use the Plugins and Themes tabs to check or uncheck items.
    • Use Select all or Deselect all to batch-toggle checkboxes for each tab.
  3. Export/Import Profiles:
    • Click Generate Profile Data to export your currently checked selection to a custom .json file (you can name it whatever you like).
    • Click Load Profile Data to import a saved profile file and automatically check the corresponding items for installation.
  4. Reinstall / Uninstall:
    • Click Reinstall selected to download and install all checked items.
    • Click Uninstall selected to delete the files of checked items from your vault directory (requires confirmation).
  5. Activate:
    • Restart Obsidian to fully load and activate the newly installed plugins.

How It Works (Download Pipeline)

S-Restore Profile bypasses CORS restrictions and GitHub rate limits by utilizing Obsidian's native requestUrl API through a three-stage fallback download pipeline:

  1. Plan A (Direct Download): Resolves the repository name, fetches manifest.json from the main branch to find the release version, and downloads release assets (main.js, manifest.json, styles.css, or theme.css) directly from the corresponding GitHub release tag.
  2. Plan B (GitHub API Fallback): If direct download fails, it queries the GitHub Releases API to retrieve the correct download URLs for the release assets.
  3. Plan C (Raw Files Fallback): If the repository does not have a formal Release published (common for many custom themes), it downloads the required files directly from the default branch (e.g. main or master).

[!NOTE] Some themes or plugins do not publish formal GitHub Releases and instead host raw files in their main branch. The plugin will successfully install them via Plan C. If a theme/plugin installed this way does not declare a version number in its source manifest, it will be labeled as "No Release version" next to its name.

Requirements

  • Obsidian 1.4.0 or higher.
  • Desktop only (requires file system API access).
