Description
Category: Customization & UI

The Custom window title plugin enhances the Obsidian experience by displaying the current open note in the window title, allowing for better context while switching between applications. This plugin is particularly useful for those tracking application usage or managing multiple tasks, as it offers easy identification of the current note. Additionally, the plugin provides templating options, enabling users to customize the window title with variables like filename, filepath, vault, or workspace. It also supports frontmatter, allowing dynamic updates based on file metadata, further improving workflow efficiency and context-switching.

Active note to window title

This might be the smallest Obsidian plugin, but it adds the current open note to the window title, like so:

Obsidian v0.11.0 - obsidian - testing/currently-open-note-for-project-xyz.md

This is useful when you are tracking your application usage with Timing (or any other app that uses window title). Otherwise it might prove useful for context what you're doing when switching with alt-tab if your application switcher allows for filtering like contexts.app.

Templating

Through settings of this plugin it is possible to template the window title of the Obsidian app. You can specify the {{filename}}, {{filepath}}, {{vault}} or {{workspace}}. Frontmatter is also supported. For example if you have a file with the following frontmatter:

category: "Testing"

You can use the following template: Obsidian - {{frontmatter.category}}. This would result in a window title of Obsidian - Testing once you open the file. If a file doesn't have the corresponding frontmatter key, it is removed, resulting in just: Obsidian -.
