Obsidian plugins with #local-first#

The YAOS plugin adds live vault sync through a Cloudflare Worker you deploy in your own account. It uses a CRDT model to merge Markdown changes across devices, so edits land in one shared state instead of creating conflicted copies. The workflow covers server claiming, deep link pairing, attachment sync, snapshots, updates and troubleshooting from inside the plugin. The README also spells out limits around durability receipts, empty folders and non Markdown plugin files, which makes the tradeoffs visible before you switch.

The Just Simple Excalidraw plugin provides a focused Excalidraw editor that reads and writes portable `.excalidraw` JSON files directly in the vault. It creates drawings from the command palette or ribbon, uses the official editor and saves changes automatically after a short pause. Pasted or selected images are embedded into each drawing so the file remains self contained. Autosave stops when the file changes outside the open editor, while malformed drawings are reported without altering the original. The plugin follows the active light or dark theme and makes no runtime network requests. It keeps one editor open per drawing to prevent competing saves, focuses an existing tab when the same file is reopened and closes temporary duplicate panes created by Obsidian's split commands.
