Unread Badge

An Obsidian plugin that shows a small dot badge next to notes and folders in the file explorer that haven't been opened since they were last modified.

How it works

  • A note is unread if you've never opened it, or if it was modified after you last opened it.
  • A folder shows the badge if any note inside it (recursively) is unread.
  • Opening a note marks it as read.

Context menu

Right-click any note or folder in the file explorer:

  • Mark as unread — brings back the badge on a read note
  • Mark as read — clears the badge without opening the note
  • Mark folder as read / unread — applies to all notes inside recursively

Commands

  • Mark all notes as read — clears all badges
  • Mark all notes as unread — resets everything

Installation

Available in the Obsidian Community Plugins directory. Search for "Unread Badge" in Settings > Community Plugins.

Manual installation

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
  2. Create a folder called unread-badge in your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory.
  3. Copy the downloaded files into that folder.
  4. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin in Settings > Community Plugins.
