Obsidian plugins with #cross-device#

The Self-hosted LiveSync plugin syncs vault data through CouchDB, S3 compatible object storage or WebRTC peer to peer mode, with end to end encryption and conflict handling for note changes, metadata and hidden files. It can merge simple text conflicts automatically, sync settings, snippets, themes and community plugins through Customisation Sync or Hidden File Sync, and generate a setup URI so additional devices can join an existing vault from a working one. The plugin shows synchronisation status, transfer counts and storage activity in the status bar, includes recovery and troubleshooting paths for damaged states and supports an optional managed CouchDB host. Peer to peer mode still needs a signalling relay and one device with the required data online during synchronisation.

The Cliplet plugin acts as a private clipboard and snippet manager within your vault, independent of the system clipboard. It lets you capture, store, and reuse text or code snippets effortlessly without overwriting your OS clipboard. You can keep a searchable history of snippets and access them across devices using an optional `data.json` file stored in your vault, or keep them isolated per device through IndexedDB. Each cliplet is encrypted at rest, ensuring privacy even in synced environments.

The EasySync plugin syncs a vault across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android through OneDrive. It previews the sync plan before changes are applied, then handles notes, attachments and other vault files with content hashes instead of relying only on modified time. It can sync renames, moves and deletions, join new devices to an existing vault state and resume interrupted uploads or downloads after a restart or network break. Text changes that do not overlap can be merged automatically, while other text conflicts and binary file changes are shown for manual review. The plugin can also sync editor settings, appearance, themes, snippets, shortcuts, bookmarks, core plugins, community plugins and selected plugin data, with status, history and diagnostics shown in a dedicated sidebar.

The Google Drive Sync plugin allows users to synchronize their Obsidian vaults with Google Drive, enabling seamless cross-device access to their notes. It supports two-way syncing, prioritizing local changes and automatically resolving conflicts. The plugin ensures that multiple vaults can be managed within a single Google account while maintaining data integrity and configuration consistency. Users can manually push and pull updates or rely on automatic syncing when Obsidian is open.

The External File Linker plugin allows users to link and embed external files within Obsidian using a familiar syntax. It supports relative and absolute file paths, enabling access to files outside the vault, including markdown, PDFs, images, audio, and video formats. The plugin also introduces a group-based system, making it easy to reference the same folder across multiple devices with different base paths, ensuring seamless access regardless of the operating system.

The Sync-safe File Names plugin automatically ensures that your note filenames remain compatible across devices by removing unsupported or special characters. It replaces unsafe symbols like question marks or slashes with hyphens, preventing sync failures that often occur on mobile or cloud storage. The plugin monitors new and renamed files in real time, renaming them instantly without overwriting existing content. You can also run a report to detect unsafe filenames and batch-fix them using built-in commands.
