The Hide Index Files plugin streamlines the appearance of the Obsidian file explorer by hiding folder notes, often used as index files, from view. It directly patches tree items for more reliable behavior, avoiding common syncing issues found in similar plugins. Designed to complement setups using folder-note systems, it ensures a cleaner and more focused navigation experience, especially beneficial for users managing large or complex vaults.

The Note Folder Autorename plugin streamlines the management of folder notes in Obsidian by linking a note and its corresponding folder. When you make a note a folder note, the plugin creates a folder with the same name and places the note inside it. From that point, any renaming or moving of the note will automatically update the folder and maintain consistency. This is especially useful for organizing large topics that evolve into subtopics, as it ensures folder structures remain intuitive and linked. The plugin works quietly in the background without altering the UI, complementing tools like the Folder Note plugin for enhanced functionality.
