2. Peekaboo
Released on 2024-11-08 by Wang Guoshi
Peekaboo is a privacy-focused Obsidian plugin that allows users to easily hide specific files and folders within their vault, offering greater control over content visibility. With options to password-protect your settings and use patterns to hide multiple files at once, Peekaboo makes it simple to manage sensitive notes. It includes a ribbon icon and command palette integration, so toggling visibility is quick and efficient. For those looking to keep certain files accessible, Peekaboo lets users configure exceptions to keep select files visible, even within hidden folders.

Released on 2024-11-08 by Bogdan Codreanu

The plugin features an “Open View” command that brings up a control panel where you can add or remove MOC links for selected notes, filter by MOC-only notes, and even track down “missing notes” that should be part of an MOC but aren’t yet linked. Ideal for desktop users looking to keep their Obsidian workspace tidy, MOC Link Helper makes managing complex note networks simple.

With an easy-to-use interface, users can estimate storage costs, verify wallet balances, and get a shareable link for each upload. While the plugin currently only supports images as attachments and doesn’t encrypt notes, it’s a great option for users who want reliable, permanent storage for non-sensitive information.

This is particularly useful for users who rely on a well-defined directory organization over tags, allowing them to see how documents connect within the hierarchy of their folders. Instead of the standard flat list of backlinks, this plugin provides a more structured view, making it easy to navigate and focus on specific reference groups. With clickable links to each referenced note, it enhances navigation and makes backlink management more intuitive for those who prefer a physical folder structure in their note-taking workflow.
11. Open with Natural Language Dates
Released on 2024-11-08 by Charlie Chao

12. Jisage -Japanese Indentation-
Released on 2024-11-08 by Telehakke
The Jisage Formatter plugin for Obsidian helps users display text with full-width spaces at the beginning of lines, commonly known as "Jisage," correctly within their notes. This formatting style is especially useful for languages like Japanese, where proper indentation can be critical for readability and aesthetics. By installing this plugin, users can ensure that their notes maintain the intended structure, including correct indentation in reading mode.
