Obsidian plugins with #card-view#

The Card View Switcher plugin enhances Obsidian's search functionality by offering a quick-switching card view for searching files. It includes three search modes: Recent Search for the 10 most recently opened files, Normal Search for all file names, and Random Search which randomly selects 10 files. Users can easily switch between these modes using simple prefixes, such as `'`, `Space`, or `;`. The plugin streamlines navigation, providing a fast and visual way to explore your vault's contents with a card-based interface.

The Card Viewer plugin creates elegant, information-rich card layouts for movies, TV shows, books, and music directly within your notes. Each card displays structured metadata like title, release date, rating, genre, and cover image in a clean visual format. It supports image previews in grid view with lightbox functionality and can also render HTML code blocks for interactive content. Ratings, durations, and layouts are automatically formatted for consistency, while book cards can include publisher, author, and ISBN details.

The Masonry plugin displays notes in a visual browser with card, list and table layouts. Its All Docs tab covers the whole vault with search, folder and tag filters, saved sort orders and progressive loading. A custom Bases view keeps native filtering, sorting, grouping and the Base toolbar while adding rendered note previews. Cards can show covers from frontmatter or image embeds and offer actions to open notes, copy wikilinks or reveal files. Open tabs appear in a sidebar rail or a searchable card gallery, with optional tab bar hiding and horizontal scrolling. Keyboard navigation and native hover previews are supported. Each Base view can adjust preview length and folder or tag visibility. Notes stay local, no account is required and remote images remain disabled unless explicitly enabled.

The Grid Note plugin displays Markdown documents as an interactive tree of cards, with headings from H1 to H6 becoming foldable sections. Cards support inline editing through CodeMirror and stay in sync with the source document. Arrow keys move between parent, sibling and child cards, while full text search highlights matches across the document and shows match counters. A file tree browser provides navigation between vault files without relying only on the card hierarchy within a document. Individual cards or entire subtrees can be exported as Markdown, rich text or PNG. The plugin runs on desktop and requires Obsidian 0.15.0 or later.

The Momo plugin provides card style notes while handling file names, titles, storage locations and formatting automatically. Writing a few lines in its input box and pressing Enter creates a note. Tags and locations organise entries, with several ways to browse them. The list view supports scanning, filtering and bulk organisation, while focus view presents one note at a time with surrounding cards faded into the background. A rotating globe displays recorded locations that open their associated notes when selected. Location view groups entries in a continent, country and place hierarchy. Random review resurfaces older notes, and selectable colour schemes change the interface. Notes remain ordinary files in the vault that can be opened, edited and synced normally. Uninstalling the plugin leaves those files untouched.

The Banyan plugin transforms how you browse, filter, and rediscover your notes through a visual card-based interface. It's built for users who jot down quick notes without stressing over perfect titles or folder structures. The card view displays each note with a preview, tags, and optional quick actions like pinning or deleting. Powerful compound filtering lets you search notes by multiple tags, time ranges, or keywords, and you can save these filter conditions for repeated use. A built-in random review tool helps surface forgotten notes, while a heat map offers insights into your writing habits.

The Notes Explorer plugin offers a visually rich way to browse and organize notes by displaying them as cards in either a masonry or gallery layout. Users can sort notes based on modification date, creation time, or filename, and apply filters to hide empty notes or focus on specific folders, including subfolders. Clicking on a folder in the file explorer opens an explorer board tailored to that folder's contents. The plugin also supports visual tagging using background or sidebar color indicators. Originally a fork of the Cards View plugin, Notes Explorer has evolved with additional customization options, making it ideal for users who prefer a more visual approach to navigating their vault.

The Home Cards plugin creates a start page with note cards arranged into configurable sections. Sections can show recent activity, notes matching tags or properties, link counts and a daily Rediscover sample of notes untouched for months. Each has its own filters, sorting and card count. By default, a note appears only in the first matching section. Cards display titles, types, tags and either an opening sentence or a summary property. Switch between a grid and compact rows, fold sections or reveal more matches. Separate pages can cover a folder, tag, property or the whole vault, with commands and URI links to open them. A Bases view groups results into sections. Theme colours, card styles and custom backgrounds control appearance. It works on desktop and mobile, makes no network requests and requires Obsidian 1.13.1 or later.

The Cool Bases plugin adds a card view to Bases with a visual side panel for editing the whole view. Changes appear immediately but are saved only when confirmed. Four starting styles cover poster, profile, cover and list layouts, with options to save designs or copy them from another view. Card dimensions, colours, typography and image effects are configurable. Properties can be reordered, joined on one line or positioned over images, while ratings appear as stars, scores or faces. Boolean properties support several display formats, including checkboxes that update the note directly. Notes without images can receive generated typographic covers. Each view stores its design in the .base file and accepts its own CSS. It works on desktop and mobile with Obsidian 1.10 or later and Bases enabled.

The Quick Cards plugin enhances directory navigation in Obsidian by displaying files in a directory as visually appealing cards. Each card showcases the note title, creation date, and a brief summary, making it easier to browse and manage notes. Users can open notes directly by clicking on a card or create new notes via a dedicated plus button. The plugin also supports automatic directory switching, adapting the displayed cards to the folder of the currently opened file. Additionally, the card appearance can be customized by modifying the included CSS file, allowing for a tailored visual experience.

The Obsidian Card View Mode plugin turns open notes into cards so their visual shape and size can reflect how developed each note is. Instead of treating every pane the same, it lets note content stretch or compress the card, which makes rough notes and more mature notes easier to distinguish at a glance. It also adds an Attention Pane mode that highlights the active card and grays out the rest, so focus stays on the current note when many panes are open. Visual settings cover card colors, background color, corner radius, shadows and other design details, and the whole mode can be toggled with a command. The plugin is designed to work alongside Sliding Panes and also accounts for Embedded Note Title and Banners compatibility.
