Additionally, a Ctrl-click on a tag triggers Obsidian’s built-in search function for deeper exploration.
3. Missing Link File Creator
Released on 2025-01-28 by Lemon695
The Missing Link File Creator plugin automates the creation of missing linked files in Obsidian, reducing manual effort when working with interconnected notes. It scans the active document or an entire folder to detect uncreated links and generates the corresponding files instantly. This is particularly useful for structured writing, such as novel drafting or project planning, where placeholders like character profiles or task lists are frequently referenced but not yet created.
4. Paperless
Released on 2025-01-28 by Talal Abou Haiba
The Paperless plugin integrates Obsidian with a self-hosted Paperless-ngx instance, allowing users to seamlessly view and insert PDFs into their notes. It provides an overview of all available documents and enables one-click import, embedding external PDFs directly into the vault. This eliminates concerns about local storage while maintaining easy access to important files.
5. Cooksync
Released on 2025-01-28 by Cooksync
The Cooksync plugin integrates Obsidian with the Cooksync service, allowing users to automatically import and sync recipes from their Cooksync account. It brings in detailed recipe data, including ingredients, instructions, source links, and cover images, ensuring a structured and visually organized collection within Obsidian. Users can also configure automatic tagging to categorize imported recipes for easier retrieval.
6. Recent Notes
Released on 2025-01-28 by Kamil Rudnicki
The Recent Notes plugin provides an organized timeline view of recently edited notes in Obsidian, making it easy to track and revisit recent work. Notes are grouped by time periods, including today, yesterday, the past week, month, and year, allowing users to quickly locate their latest modifications. Each entry displays the note title, first line of content, and last edit timestamp for quick reference. Users can configure the number of displayed notes and access them with a single click from the sidebar, improving workflow efficiency and note accessibility.
7. Mahgen Renderer
Released on 2025-01-28 by Michael Francis Williams
The Mahgen Renderer plugin integrates the Mahgen tool into Obsidian, allowing users to render Mahjong hands and tile sequences directly within their notes. It supports displaying hands, draws, and discards, providing a visual representation of gameplay scenarios. Users can input shorthand codes to generate Mahjong tile arrangements, making it easier to document strategies or review past games.
8. Backgroundset
Released on 2025-01-28 by daonali
The Backgroundset plugin allows users to customize their Obsidian workspace by setting images as backgrounds. It supports adding a folder of images, selecting a specific background, or enabling random background rotation.

The plugin also provides a birthday tracking feature, ensuring upcoming celebrations are easily visible.
10. Anchor Link Display Text
Released on 2025-01-28 by Robert C Arsenault
The Anchor Link Display Text plugin enhances the readability of anchor links in Obsidian by automatically formatting them to display the referenced heading instead of the raw link.
