Obsidian plugins with #preview#

The Recent Files for Obsidian plugin adds a sidebar list of the notes you opened most recently, so getting back to active work takes one click instead of a search. It focuses on navigation and a bit of cleanup control. You can exclude specific paths, ignore notes with chosen frontmatter tags and leave bookmarked files out of the list when they should stay separate. The entries behave much like the file explorer: open a note, open it in another pane, use the context menu, drag it into an editor as a link, send it to a chosen pane or move it into a folder.

The Link Embed plugin is a powerful tool that allows you to convert URLs in your Obsidian notes into embedded previews. With this plugin, you can easily turn links into visually appealing and informative snippets that provide metadata about the linked content. Whether you're sharing an article, a video, or a website, this plugin makes it easy to add rich context to your notes without having to copy and paste large amounts of text. The plugin supports multiple parsers, including JSONLink, MicroLink, and Iframely, each with its own strengths and limitations. By enabling auto-embed in the settings, you can have links automatically replaced with embedded previews when you paste them into an empty line. Overall, Link Embed is a great tool for anyone looking to enhance their note-taking experience with rich media content.

The Floating Search plugin provides an enhanced search experience in Obsidian by enabling a floating modal search interface. It offers commands for global and file-specific searches, with options to clear search terms automatically. Users can navigate search results using keyboard shortcuts, preview files within the modal, and open them in different ways without closing the search window.

The Dynamic Views plugin changes card based note browsing with richer media and layout controls. It can display note images as thumbnails, covers, posters or backdrops, let you slide through images or open them full screen, and show text previews from note content. Titles can wrap, long properties can scroll horizontally and menus can hide while scrolling on phone. View layout is highly configurable, including image position, property label display, stacked or side by side properties, collapsible grouped sections, interactive checkboxes and keyboard navigation. It also adds card buttons for opening URLs, random files and shuffled views, supports default view settings, reveals files, folders and tags in Notebook Navigator, shows YouTube thumbnails and applies CSS snippets to individual views.

The Refresh Preview plugin enhances Obsidian's preview mode by allowing users to refresh rendered content without reopening the note. This is particularly useful for dynamic content such as Dataview or custom scripts that update over time. The plugin provides a refresh button, a command palette option, and configurable auto-refresh settings based on file changes or time intervals, ensuring content stays updated seamlessly.

The Core Search Assistant plugin enhances the built-in Obsidian search functionality by adding advanced navigation and preview options. It introduces a keyboard interface for seamless control, a card view for displaying search results in structured layouts, and bigger, auto-generated previews for quick content evaluation. Users can easily scroll through results, preview items, and apply search options directly from the interface, making search workflows more intuitive and efficient.

The Force Read Mode plugin allows users to enforce read-only mode for markdown files within specified folders in Obsidian. This ensures that files from these folders are always opened in read (preview) mode, preventing accidental edits. Users can configure multiple folder paths where this behavior is applied. The plugin is ideal for those who want to protect specific notes or folders from unintended changes or maintain a consistent read-only experience. Its simple settings interface makes it easy to specify folder paths where read mode should be enforced, offering greater control over file access and editing within Obsidian.

The ACE Code Editor plugin replaces the default editing experience with an advanced code editor powered by the Ace editor. It brings syntax highlighting, code folding, and live previews directly into your workflow, making it much easier to write and manage code blocks within notes. It also lets you manage and edit CSS snippets from a dedicated panel and supports quick previews of full code files. Whether you're jotting down small scripts or maintaining full snippet libraries, this plugin adds practical flexibility for anyone dealing with code inside their notes.

The Auto Split plugin enhances the Obsidian workspace by automatically opening notes with the editor and preview displayed side-by-side when no other files are open. This feature is especially useful for users who prefer to see their edits reflected instantly. The plugin also introduces a command to split the current pane into two linked panes, allowing users to edit and view their notes simultaneously. It only works on desktop and tablet devices, as split panes are not supported on mobile phones. The plugin is designed to operate efficiently, activating only for Markdown files and ensuring existing files are not disrupted. Users can configure platform-specific settings to enable or disable the feature as needed, making it a flexible tool for multi-device workflows.

The Hugo preview obsidian plugin allows you to seamlessly preview Hugo websites directly within Obsidian. By opening a custom iframe, it facilitates the live preview of a Hugo site, while running the Hugo server in the background. The plugin supports adding custom flags to the Hugo server and includes a shortcut to launch the terminal. It integrates with the 'ObsidianCustomFrames' plugin and enables real-time updates with the `--navigateToChanged` flag. Users can interact with the plugin via a status bar icon, making it easy to manage and preview Hugo projects within Obsidian.

The Collapsible Code Blocks plugin improves the readability and organization of notes in Obsidian by allowing users to collapse long code blocks in preview mode. This helps reduce visual clutter when working with large snippets of code. The plugin offers smooth expand/collapse animations, customizable toggle icons, and control over how many lines remain visible when collapsed.

The Attachment Organizer plugin helps clean up attachment sprawl by scanning a vault, checking backlinks and grouping files into workspace, staging and optional extra scan zones. It shows whether an item should stay put, move closer to the note that references it, go to staging or be flagged as missing or conflicting. You can preview the full plan before applying changes, filter the results by status and run batch moves in one pass. The plugin also supports undo for the last operation, configurable placement rules, duplicate name checks and custom attachment detection for cases like Excalidraw or Canvas files. It fits people who want attachment folders to stay consistent without sorting files by hand.

The Dayframe plugin adds a configurable frame around daily notes when they are opened in Reading view. It detects your daily notes in the editor, then places markdown content before and after the note body using a `{{CONTENT}}` marker in a template. The note file stays clean because the extra material is rendered only while viewing, not stored in the daily note itself. Prefix and suffix sections can include normal markdown elements such as links, embeds and transclusions. You can also configure the template of the frame from another file in the vault.

The Link Preview plugin for Obsidian enhances your note-taking experience by offering quick previews of external links without ever leaving your workspace. Simply hover over a link to view a sleek, theme-matching preview of the webpage. This feature is perfect for users who want to quickly verify content or gather context without disrupting their workflow. The plugin also offers customization options, such as adjustable hover delay and configurable preview window dimensions, allowing you to tailor it to your preferences. Its seamless integration with Obsidian's interface ensures it feels like a native feature. If you frequently include external references in your notes, this plugin can save you time and improve your productivity by keeping everything within Obsidian's clean environment.

The 2Hop Links Plus plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who want to easily explore the connections between their notes. This plugin displays related links up to 2 hops away in a card format, making it easy to browse and navigate your knowledge graph. Each card provides a preview of the corresponding note, giving you a quick glance at the content without having to switch between notes. The plugin also features an adjustable box width, improved preview content, support for external link images, and more. With 2Hop Links Plus, you'll be able to quickly identify related concepts, spot patterns, and build connections between your ideas.

The MP Preview plugin facilitates transforming Markdown notes into formats suitable for WeChat public accounts. It offers features like elegant templates, customizable fonts and styles, real-time preview functionalities, and direct clipboard copying for efficient editing and publishing. Furthermore, it includes options for locking the preview to avoid disruptions. These functionalities cater especially to users publishing content on WeChat platforms efficiently.

The Rich Links plugin! This exciting new release aims to take your Obsidian links to the next level. With Rich Links, you can now add visual flair and extra functionality to your links, making them more engaging and interactive than ever before. Whether you're creating a knowledge base or sharing insights with others, this plugin is sure to elevate the way you present information. By adding custom icons, colors, and even animations, you'll be able to create a richer reading experience that sets your content apart from the rest.

The Email Reader plugin allows users to preview the content of `*.eml` email files directly within Obsidian's Preview mode, similar to embedding an image file. Instead of displaying a button that opens the email in an external app, this plugin renders the email content inline within the note. Users can also customize the dimensions of the email frame for better viewing. This is especially useful for keeping email content visible and organized in notes without altering the raw content. The plugin provides a seamless way to integrate emails into the note-taking workflow.

The Mention Autocomplete plugin turns `@` into a content search shortcut for linking notes when titles are not enough. It scans markdown files, ignores frontmatter, and finds matches from note text, then shows the matching sentence in the picker so you can spot the right note fast. A rendered side panel lets you inspect the full note before inserting the link. When selected, it creates a wikilink with an alias based on the matching sentence or heading, which makes links more readable in running notes. It also supports keyboard navigation, click to dismiss behaviour, live index updates after file changes and Chinese pinyin input without breaking the selection flow.

The Card Forge plugin turns a note into a printable poker sized card and gives a simple preview workflow for checking the result before printing. The plugin opens a dedicated preview window, renders the current note into a 2.5 x 3.5 inch card and lets you control a few presentation details through frontmatter. You can set a custom card title, place a type marker or emoji in the top right and apply extra CSS classes for styling.
