Simple Home Page

Simple Home Page adds a focused home screen to Obsidian with fast file-name search, recent-note access, deleted-note restore, and quick vault navigation.

Features

  • File-name search for notes and folders
  • Recent notes, pinned notes, and deleted notes tabs
  • Local trash with restore and permanent delete actions
  • Recent folders and a simplified vault tree for navigation
  • Open last closed note and reopen recently closed notes
  • Create temporary notes directly from Home
  • Theme-aware styling that follows your Obsidian appearance settings

Installation

Community Plugins

Install Simple Home Page from Obsidian's Community Plugins browser once it is available there.

Manual Installation

  1. Close Obsidian.
  2. Copy manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css into .obsidian/plugins/simple-home/.
  3. Reopen Obsidian.
  4. Enable Simple Home Page in Settings -> Community plugins.

Usage

  • Use the Home button or the Simple Home Page: Open home command to open the view.
  • Search matches note and folder names, not file contents.
  • The Deleted tab lets you restore notes moved to the plugin's local bin or remove them permanently.
  • The Open last closed note button reopens the most recent closed note.
  • Cmd on macOS or Ctrl on Windows/Linux while clicking Open last closed note opens recently closed notes in new tabs.
  • The Create temporary note button creates a new note in the temporary folder.
  • Cmd on macOS or Ctrl on Windows/Linux while clicking Create temporary note opens the new temporary note in a new tab.

Commands

You can assign hotkeys to these commands in Settings -> Hotkeys:

  • Simple Home Page: Open home
  • Simple Home Page: Open home in left sidebar
  • Simple Home Page: Open last closed note
  • Simple Home Page: Open recently closed notes
  • Simple Home Page: Create temporary note
  • Simple Home Page: Focus home search

Local Bin

When you delete a note from Home, the plugin moves it into a local bin at bin/local-home-page/ instead of deleting it immediately. You can restore it later from the Deleted tab or remove it permanently.
