The Next TOC plugin displays a floating panel that shows your reading progress, table of contents and navigation tools for the current document. It helps you track where you are in longer notes and jump between sections quickly. The panel stays visible as you read, giving you a persistent overview of the document structure. Useful for navigating lengthy articles, research notes or any document where you need to move between headings frequently.
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.
The yh-InkLight plugin provides a shared reading and annotation system for Markdown, PDF and EPUB files. It highlights text in Live Preview and Reading View, attaches comments and returns to the source location. PDF highlights appear as overlays with notes and page navigation, while the bundled foliate-js engine supports EPUB pagination, scrolling, search and display controls. A unified sidebar filters annotations by colour, type and tag, edits comments and exports Markdown summaries with return links. The reading library tracks progress and recent reading, with search, status filters and cover browsing. Generated reading notes synchronise only a marked managed section, leaving handwritten content untouched. Annotations and progress remain separate from source documents in sidecar JSON files and EPUB layout preferences can vary by device.
