Obsidian plugins with #desktop-only#

The Archivist Importer plugin sends selected vault files to [Archivist](https://www.myarchivist.ai/) campaigns so notes can become structured records. It lets you connect to Archivist, choose or create campaigns and push content as characters, items, locations, factions and journal entries. It also creates links between imported records when those references are detected in the chosen notes. It stores the API key in Obsidian Secret Storage, keeps other settings in local plugin data and only makes network requests when you trigger an action.

The WorkBuddy plugin brings Tencent's desktop AI agent into a sidebar chat with streaming Markdown replies, collapsible thinking details and tool activity. It can send the current note or selected text as context, then copy a response or insert it at the cursor. Conversations support multiple tabs, persisted history and resumed WorkBuddy sessions. Three permission modes control whether the agent can only read and search notes, edit vault content or receive full access. Model and reasoning effort controls sit in the chat footer, while the vault root is the default working folder. The interface follows the configured English or Chinese language. It requires the WorkBuddy desktop app to be installed and signed in, runs only on desktop and has verified support on Windows with macOS and Linux provided on a best effort basis.

The Reading Progress Desktop plugin adds a persistent reading indicator to the status bar, aimed squarely at long-form reading on desktop screens. Once active, it surfaces three elements: a progress bar that reflects how far you have read, a full-screen toggle, and a small view-type label that changes based on the active pane. These elements work quietly in the background and stay out of the editor itself. The progress bar adapts to supported views such as markdown, pdf, search, and a few specific third-party layouts, while clearly disabling itself when tracking is not possible. Behaviour is configurable. You can adjust the bar's length, control animations, or turn off individual components entirely. The design is practical and restrained, built for users who read extensively and want constant spatial awareness without visual clutter.
