Now you can DRAW/WRITE in PDFS AND NOTES INSIDE of Obsidian!! JUST LIKE ONENOTE!

PDF Update released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: previous post, includes video of writing features directly on note: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1w0cf3j/v1_release_of_handwriting_plugin_write_directly/

hey guys,

back in uni i remember taking biochem notes on a surface pro 4. drawing structures and typing labels on the same OneNote page felt like literal magic back then. i still remember how good it felt, how proud i was showing my notes to friends and professors.

ten years later, now for work, i'm still using OneNote and i consider it a prison.

Handwriting is OneNote's last bastion.

not to wax poetic but i am pretty excited to break out

this plugin is my attempt to solve the handwriting integration gap in Obsidian

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Handwrite, highlight, erase and lasso directly on your existing Markdown notes and PDFs. Your notes stay Markdown.

this is the same Handwriting app that made it to the front page last week, now with a brand new feature update I have been working very hard on-

pdf integration is live!!

write on any pdf in your vault with the same pen, the same toolbar, etc that you do with regular notes

right now you can:

write directly on your existing Markdown text notes-

• handwrite, highlight, color palette, size sliders
• erase, two modes, size slider
• lasso with the side button. move the selection, delete it, copy/paste it across notes
• insert space
• undo/redo ink + text together
• draw and pan with a mouse if you want

AND NOW you can write directly on pdfs-

• write on pdfs, flatten ink for pdf export, snip pdfs
• export ink as svg or pdf

other features-

• pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, pinch to zoom
• lined and grid paper, infinite canvas, ink embeds and reading view

works on windows, macos, linux, ios, android and boox

FAQ:

so can i draw directly on my notes:

yes!!

what happens when i run out of room:

the obsidian text editor can be extended to an infinite canvas, barring file size

what happens to my notes if i uninstall/disable

your notes stay .md. the only thing ever written into one is a single handwriting-page-id line in the properties. disable the plugin and your text will stay exactly the same, the ink just stops rendering. re-enable the plugin and it'll reappear

is there a risk of corruption:

a note you never inked on is never modified.

your ink lives in .handwriting/ at your vault root.

how do pdfs work:

pdfs work the same way except the id comes from the file's content, so renaming or moving a pdf doesn't lose your ink

the pdf file itself is never modified, the ink saves beside it

practically this means you can fully import onenote notebooks. export to pdf, drop them in your vault, and continue to handwrite on them

however there are some features that are still a work in progress

what's next

audio alongside ink, ruler and compass, laser pointer, ocr, searchable handwriting, math and latex, text boxes, canvas mode, custom toolbar with favorites. there's still a long way to go before obsidian has real parity with onenote. i'm not going anywhere.

Created this dashboard with claude to read a markdown dashboard file from my obsidian vault and render it on my desktop. What do u guys think.

I have released an open source MCP remote server for Obsidian.

This server software lets you chat with your vault anywhere - on your phone, in the car, etc. It works with both official Obsidian Sync and git sync setups. It maintains an indexed version of your content so things like search, lookups by tag, etc work quickly. I've also found it very helpful for keeping things in sync across multiple LLM tools, running tasks in the cloud, etc.

It's available on GitHub at https://github.com/changenode/notemesh - but for most people who don't want to deal with the infrastructure stuff they can deploy it to Railway with a few clicks.

If you want a video intro, you can see me explaining it in more detail on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnPVV98Lu2M

I am an experienced developer, and while I did use Claude to assist I review all of the generated code myself. I use this every day myself, so I plan on maintaining for quite some time.

Feel free to AMA - happy to nerd out on why I built it, what I'm using it for, etc.

Mods: it looks like this is ok to post based on a bunch of the other announcements posted recently but if you take issue please don't ban me...

This is my dashboard in Obsidian. The graph is below it.

The graph looks impressive and is the least useful thing in this screenshot. It shows nicely that something is densely connected — and that's it. It answers none of the questions I actually have in the morning.

The dashboard answers them. It's a plugin I wrote myself, because nothing off the shelf did what I needed: not "show me my notes," but "what changed in reality." Which version is live on the App Store and Google Play — read from the API, not typed in by hand. What's waiting on someone else's reply, and for how many days. Which deadline just slipped. How many tokens went out yesterday.

It started eight weeks ago. Today it's 435 personal notes and 2,473 in my work vault, with 2,025 links between them. The graph isn't the goal — it's a side effect of notes pointing at each other instead of sitting alone.

One thing surprised me most: what I return to isn't the notes holding knowledge. It's the registers. "Waiting on…", "Deadlines", "Decisions". Knowledge I can find with search anyway. State I can't find anywhere unless I write it down — and state is exactly what goes stale fastest, and most quietly.

A second brain isn't there to remember. It's there to know what is true right now.

Does your system hold just the material, or the state of things too?

I've been running a read it later service, Social Archiver, for almost a year. It started out as Obsidian plugin and now it has been slowly and gradually growing and wanted to share some thoughts.

"Read it later" usually means saving a post to read some other time. It's baked into Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and X, and most forums have some kind of bookmark or scrap feature. Then there are dedicated services. Pocket (RIP, shut down after the Mozilla acquisition) and Instapaper focus on saving articles, while Raindrop is more about bookmarking the sites themselves. It exists at the OS and browser level too. Safari on iPhone has it built in.

Whatever you call it (bookmarking, scrapping, archiving, read it later), the people who use these features all have one thing in common. Most of them fail to read the stuff later. Saving scratches the data hoarder itch and feels productive. Reading is the part that actually takes effort.

Why? The most fundamental reason is that people don't save things they're actually going to read later. In my experience there are three kinds of saves.

• You read something, loved it, and want to archive it
• It's reference material you'll want to look up or share later
• You're interested but have no time right now, so you save it for later

The first group does fine if they have a system. People who already have their own way of capturing and organizing information use it well, whatever the tool (Notion, Obsidian, plain notes, a spreadsheet). Basically the second brain / PKM crowd. Lately the trend seems to be toward tools that connect with AI, since being able to classify, search, and summarize what you've read with an AI agent basically gives you a small personal wiki.

There's a trap here though. Once you start building a second brain, it's tempting to clip everything that looks vaguely useful, whether or not you'll ever read it. The archive keeps growing, and at some point you can't tell which saves were things you genuinely meant to read and which were just there to round out the collection. A vault full of unread material isn't a second brain. It's a storage unit.

Reference material mostly gets processed on the spot. Found a good restaurant? You pin it on Google Maps immediately. A timely news article or viral post? It goes straight into a group chat or gets posted somewhere. If it's something you'll need later, a lot of people just DM the link to themselves (or to whoever comes to mind) and forget about it. You probably know that one friend who relentlessly shares everything they find interesting. You might be that friend.

The third case is usually long form stuff like research papers, articles, blog posts, and long threads. Ironically, this is the pattern that fits "read it later" most literally, and it's exactly where people fail the most.

So if you want read it later to actually work for you, here's what I have been doing and working for me.

1. Only save something on the premise that "later" actually exists. Content saved with no idea of when you'll consume it tends to come back as guilt and homework.
2. Don't save long reads. People save long articles precisely because they have no time, but you'll usually have even less time later. If a long piece is genuinely important and tied to your work, don't file it under read eventually. Treat it as its own task or small project. If you do GTD, give it the weight of a real task.
3. Set an expiration rule. For example, everything saved gets consumed within a week, and anything unread after a week gets archived, no exceptions. In my service, I modeled saving after email. Saved articles land in an inbox first. You read from the inbox, then archive. You can set deadline rules too. (For context, I run my email on inbox zero.) While reading you highlight, take notes, and tag, and once something's archived, it has to be easy to search.
4. Don't use the platform's own save feature. A social feed exists to keep you scrolling, and the save UI is never the main feature. You have to wade through the feed just to reach your saved posts, and by then you're back to doomscrolling instead of reading. Eventually you forget what you even saved. Link rot is real, too. If the original post gets deleted, your save is gone with it. And worst of all, saving is a strong preference signal, so you're just feeding the algorithm.
5. Make your own magazine. If you save like a data hoarder like dump everything, filter nothing you end up spending more time agonizing over whether to read the pile than actually reading it. Instead of stressing over the backlog, think of it as editing your own magazine and do some quality control. The you who saved something and the you who reads it later are different people in different situations, so ruthlessly filter out whatever doesn't hold up on second look. You seek out good food. Do the same with content.
6. Save writers, not just posts. Just like how you choose good newspapers to read. Good writing comes from good writers and authors, but even good writers aren't good every time. When someone has a consistently high batting average, I subscribe to everything they publish. RSS for blogs, notifications for social accounts. I don't want to miss anything they write. (This is why I built subscriptions into my service.) Writers who are only occasionally great, I archive selectively.
7. What reads well is what looks good to read. Everyone has a preferred setup. Save on mobile and read on mobile, or on desktop, an Ereader, a tablet. What actually matters is how long you can stay immersed. Physical books are great because a book contains only text and affords exactly one activity, which is reading. Ereaders are good for the same reason. In the end, though, it comes down to will. Most of us fill spare moments with short form video. Swap some of that time for your own archive and you trade a little dopamine for content that actually fills you up.
8. Long videos are long reads. Reread #2. Short form is mostly not worth saving, but quick tips, recipes, and informational clips can be. Personally I prefer transcribing videos and saving the text. Once you've watched something you rarely need to watch it again, and reading full or summarized note is faster than watching anyway. There are plenty of good transcription tools now including Obsidian Web Clipper as well as Social Archiver, and YouTube often has captions built in, so you can get the text without doing the work yourself.

I’m newer to Obsidian and wanted to know the best way to go about it. I’m not even sure how Calendars work although I’m assuming that may be the best approach. However, do I only get 1 calendar? Is there a better way to go about it?😳

My searches have all come up with many people complaining about being in a similar boat, but I haven't found any potential working solutions.

Previously, I was spending several minutes per day creating placeholder meeting notes for my meetings, which often was an effort in pulling up the appointment in one window, Obsidian right next to it and manually copy/pasting the meeting title and details, adding date/time and participants, then leaving a "Notes" section to be filled in later during/after the meeting.

Very long, very tedious, and I eventually stopped doing it at all when I got too busy, and have burned myself by not being able to quickly find notes/action items from previous meetings.

IDEALLY I'd like to bring some more automation to this, if not automate the whole thing.

Curious if anyone has fought this battle and at least has a mostly-automated way to pull in meetings from their calendar, do some cleanup (like prepending the date in front of the meeting title) and brining in some/all details of the meeting like body, participants, etc. Even if I can automate SOME of this to take some of the sting out of manually creating these..

I've got Obsidian pretty well set up for the stuff I actually want to keep, but there's still this weird pile of things that doesn't really belong there..
Pdfs, quick thoughts, things I want to summarize later, voice notes, links I might need once and never again.
I've tried putting everything into the vault, but that just makes it feel cluttered.

How do you guys handle the stuff that's useful but doesn't really deserve its own permanent place in your notes?

I’ve been playing with the idea of visualizing audio spectral as spatial 3D structures while exploring notes in AR, inspired by Lucio Arese’s bird-song visualizations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lEiYqCV25s

The concept is to turn frequency content into evolving point networks that you can walk around in mixed reality, instead of looking at a flat spectrogram.

I’m testing this inside the WebXR viewer I’ve been building for Obsidian vaults (https://github.com/NElscost/Obsidian-Ar).

Curious if anyone else has explored spatial/spectral audio representations in a knowledge-management context, or has thoughts on what would make this actually useful rather than just visually interesting.

I have a system that works fairly well for me when I take notes.

1. I capture a transcript of a meeting/lecture/etc.
2. I use AI to summarize the transcript, providing a concise breakdown of the key topics and takeaways
3. I create my own set of Cornell Notes in my own words to help burn the topic into my memory

My Cornell notes are the primary resource I reference, but I still preserve copies of both the original transcript and the AI summary. I don't always return back to them, but there have been a number of times when I had to dive deeper into a past topic, and I was very grateful that I had these additional references.

I've used this practice for a while now, but I'm fairly new to Obsidian. I think I have a decent system for organizing and finding my Obsidian notes in general, but I haven't figured out an optimal way to preserve the 3 references above effectively.

Ideally, I would love to have a single Obsidian note for a given topic, with 3 internal tabs - one for each reference - that I can flip through as needed.

• Initially, I created 3 separate notes - all for the same topic but for different note versions on that topic. It was WAY TOO cumbersome and I gave up quickly.
• I also tried just creating different Headings on each individual note (e.g. First Main Heading - Cornell, Second Main Heading - AI Summary, etc.), but it felt too clunky.

Does anyone with a similar practice have a good system that they would recommend? Any good plug ins that maybe help? Maybe I just need a different theme that makes the Heading approach easier to read through?

Thanks!

When making fictional stories, I worldbuild. When I worldbuild, I do not lousily do so, and I do not just copy another's worldbuilding. I create whole countries, systems, histories, and cultural evolutions, many mirroring what happens in actual human history, with me even including specific ethnicities and people mixed ethnically too. With my MLP:FiM fanfiction I am making (which the Mega Man ZX series is crossing over with in the image above), I try to explain how the human species became extinct, how the sapient creatures came to be, how cultures became less like their human counterparts, how the diarchical country of Equestria came to be, and lastly, the dangers of faking capitalism. That all started because of my intellectual curiosity for what happened to the human species in the pony world and being disappointed in the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's underexploring of its own worldbuilding (I am not a brony and will never be one).

Luckily, I will keep my character profiles mostly on Google Docs with the occasional curated character profiles (the important or highly appearing characters) being put on Zettlr in the future, but as for the worldbuilding itself, I am struggling to export it successfully to Obsidian MD. That means that, throughout my life, I have almost always used solely Google Docs to take notes, until I developed a fear of my notes being randomly deleted since people who use Notion have had what they written and organized deleted. I wanted to not use Notion after discovering it did that, and Obsidian is commonly recommended as an alternative to that with many features, so I decided to get Obsidian. Unfortunately, I have many notes on Google Docs and some of the notes that are now to be worked on on Obsidian happen to have many tabs like the one above, and whenever I export them as .md files, the tab titles of the documents turn into heading 1s, leading to confusion between the difference between those heading 1s and the actual heading 1s.

The problem with the .md export file on Google Docs is it can mess up the way your document is organized, which people who actually use tables and graphs experience worse than I. For example, when I imported some .md files over to Joplin, it added backwards slashes and repeated the titles of my pages since the titles of the tabs themselves are the same. Since I am severely limiting myself from freely using Obsidian until I have had those important Google documents imported to it, I am experiencing severe burnout from having exported and trying to export my notes rather than actually work on my notes, leading to lack of progress and a physically harder time silently reading. This is a problem because I have a hard time not coming up with new ideas, and I have a deep fear of losing knowledge. By always thinking, thoughts come up with new thoughts to keep the thoughts interesting so I never stop thinking, but thoughts can easily be lost and altered over time, sometimes being kept hidden from me by my own brain without my consent.

P.S. I am genuinely excited for the game Mega Man: Dual Override to come out, but the first Mega Man game I want to play is Mega Man Legends.

I want to create a habit tracker that looks like the heatmap from github, how can I do that? How can I do with and without plugins?

I don't have any coding knowledge, so reading through the plugin or the evaluation is worthless to me. However, from what I've read, scorecards are newer, and that a poor score isn't automatically indicative of anything and could simply be that the code wasn't written to perfectly match the evaluation.

So, should I even give the scorecards any weight, or do I just continue to operate under the assumption that "hundreds of thousands of people are downloading this plugin, therefore there's going to be quite a few people who have looked through it extensively and vetted it"

Don't add extremely personal information and passwords, and have caution towards old plugins lacking updates, as they could break. Is that good enough??

Oh, and are there any cons to downloading lower downloaded plugins if they score perfectly on the scorecard, as long as they're maintained regularly?

Hello everyone,

I came across the StoryLine plugin two weeks ago and have turned into a power user ever since.

I'm working on the same vault both on PC and on tablet (android), synchronizing via cloud.

Lately I'm struggling with a problem on tablet, which I don't have on PC and I'm sure it has not been there when I first started the story (maybe because of more links/entries?). When editing text fields in any codex entry, it jumps back on the top of the form. It happens both when editing a text field by exiting it and sometimes also just when I have scrolled down a bit.

I assume that it is somehow connected with the plugin internal auto scanning for updated references and entries, because sometimes I re-enter a text field afterwards and the text is longer or shorter than before (different editing status).

Does anyone know this issue?

I tried deleting cache from obsidian, reinstalling the plugin, turning off auto-update links (obsidian native), and turning off cloud synchronization but nothing helped.

I'd love to have this fixed, because I love to work with this great plugin also on mobile. Happy for any hints or help.

Cheers

edit: forgot to mention: it's occurring with both the display keyboard (Gboard, spell checker off) and the physical keyboard.

I started Project Manager as a side project to solve my own problem: keeping track of my projects’ status. It eventually became an Obsidian plugin with 100k+ downloads, 600+ GitHub stars, and a lot of great feedback from the community (thank you, guys!)

We’re a team now, building toward a full project management tool for solo projects, small squads, and eventually AI agents working alongside them. To reflect this new scale and commitment, we’re rebranding Project Manager as dotpm.

The product’s core hasn’t changed, and it never will.

It’s still the most native way to manage projects in Obsidian, with Gantt, Kanban, and Table views, plus powerful features like dependencies, subtasks, and scheduling. 

With this release, we’ve made the plugin even more useful.

What’s inside v2

We completely reworked Projects

We know that some projects have a nested structure. Development, marketing, operations — all of these can be sub-projects of a main project, each with its own tasks, milestones, members, and attributes.

Projects now have a hierarchy. You can create portfolios of projects, switch between them, and see the tasks of one project in another project’s views.

Of course, tasks from one project can depend on tasks from another. Sometimes marketing is blocked by development, or the frontend is blocked by the backend. Now you can reflect these dependencies in dotpm. Just link a task in one project to a task in another, just as you would within the same project.

And when a due date slips, dependent tasks can slide with it. They can also move earlier when a blocker finishes ahead of schedule.

Every project is unique, and so is the team working on it. That’s why we introduced project customization. Every project and sub-project can have its own members, custom statuses, priorities, views, and scheduling. And, of course, its own custom fields.

Projects now have their own overview, too. You get progress, description, milestones, sub-projects, and properties in one place.

A whole new UI

We redesigned almost everything.

New components, settings, pickers, statuses — the new UI is cleaner, more consistent, and easier to expand. We also added more customization, from the table grid and Kanban cards to colors, icons, statuses, and priorities.

The task modal is new and more solid. And speaking of tasks: you can now open any task in a modal or as a note in a separate tab.

We reworked the performance

As always, stability and performance are paramount for us. We want dotpm to look, feel, and work as smoothly as Obsidian itself.

For this release, we reworked the internal architecture to provide a fast, comfortable experience even with large projects containing thousands of tasks. We sped up task search and resolution with internal indexing and improved the sync resolution engine to keep edits across views up to date.

The result: a faster, smoother, and more stable experience.

Where we’re going

Collaboration is our next frontier.

We want dotpm to work as a collaborative project tool, both inside and outside Obsidian. We see it as a shared space where distributed teams can collaborate on projects, whether all of their members use Obsidian or not.

We also know how much AI agents can contribute to modern project work. A project management tool should reflect this reality and provide a workbench where people and AI agents can work together on the same project.

So, on our radar for the near future:

• More collaboration
• Third-party integrations
• AI-oriented tooling
• New powerful features for Gantt charts

Hey everyone! Is there a plugin that will allow me to quickly add in line citations from Zotero? I read all my papers and books as physical copies, but I take notes in obsidian. I want to be able to quickly add in the citation for the notes I’m taking. So far, I’ve only found ways to import notes and highlights from Zotero, but that’s not what I need.

I find it clunky to switch back and forth between the two, copy and paste.

Any advice?

Hide the data fields in Obsidian Bases other than the primary field or mod title with this. Courtesy to Cgpt

bases-cards-item > .bases-cards-property:not(.mod-title) {

display: none !important;

}

Drawback is css based solution can't account for the automatic height allocation from the outer element or parent DOM or sth along those lines. So probably could be only add one two three field to "display" as searchable text. Intended for media or game based card grid view where image work as cover and thus game name or title is redundant

Don't forget to enable the css after moving to Android

hi im using git sync and I would like to be able to move attachments away from the repository as much as possible. I'm well aware of git lfs but that will eventually build up.

Im hoping it could be linked based so it can still work across devices

edit: sorry let me rephrase, I was hoping there was a plugin to make it easier to attach google drive attachments within obsidian

Hi all, only been using obsidian for about 2 months now and have a setup that I like but I'm still using it in combination with OneNote and Evernote. I have around 10 years of notes I would like to bring into obsidian from different places but worry about having issues with so much data in terms of loading times and reliability.

I tend to have several personal and professional projects ongoing at the same time which result in lots of information that I do need to refer back to and find from time to time otherwise I would be happy to cut a lot of notes but I don't feel like thats an option.

I estimate I would have around 30,000 notes in total if I move everything over and that would grow further over the years, is this doable?

Will the software and hardware support an ever growing vault for potentially the next few decades or should I rethink everything?

I have been syncing my vault using Git-Plugin and it was working perfectly on my laptop, and android phone as well, however recently I can't get the updated notes from the cloud from my Android, it mentions an issue with isomorphic-git.

Did anyone face issues like that as well? And if so how can I solve it?

The Chrome web clipper works beautifully for browser chats, but I have not found a simple way to import chats from Claude Desktop on Mac OS. I am usually working in the Claude app, not the terminal.

I would like to avoid connecting Claude to Obsidian, though I might be willing to consider it if I can limit it to a specific folder.

Thanks!

I use the Plugin Folder Notes and sometimes it just stops working until i relaunch the whole app. Just reloading plugins doesn't do the job.
Does someone else have that problem and what is usually the issue?
Right now i "fixed" it with claude code. Maybe someone experienced in coding explains me if its useful or just masks a deeper lying problem:

# Patch: folder-notes click handler moved to `onload()`


**File:**
 `.obsidian/plugins/folder-notes/main.js` (third-party plugin, bundled)
**Merged:**
 2026-09-01 · commit `cca5e7c` (branch `worktree-folder-notes-klick-fix`, originally `8ff25de`)
**Type:**
 Local patch to a third-party plugin — 
**it is overwritten by every folder-notes update and must be re-applied.**


## Problem


The two DOM listeners for the folder click in the file explorer (`click` and `auxclick`)
were registered inside `onLayoutReady()`. If that one layout-ready callback ever gets
stuck (an exception earlier in the chain), Obsidian swallows it silently — and from then
on the 
**folder click is dead for the whole session**
, while everything else from
`onload()` keeps working. Hard to diagnose because no error is shown.


## Fix


Moved the two `registerDomEvent` calls from `onLayoutReady()` to `onload()`. There,
a hanging callback can no longer strand them. The layout is not needed:
`handleFileExplorerClick` reads the DOM only on click, not at registration time.


## Affected lines (as of commit `cca5e7c`)


| Location | Lines | Change |
|---|---|---|
| `async onload()` (from line 7244) | 
**7247–7261**
 | 
**Added:**
 comment block (`// PATCH (lokal …)`) + the two `this.registerDomEvent(activeDocument, "click"/"auxclick", …, true)` calls, right after `await this.loadSettings();` |
| `onLayoutReady()` (from line 7382) | ~7401 ff. | 
**Removed:**
 the same two `registerDomEvent` blocks (previously after `this.tabManager.updateTabs();`) |


Net per diff: `1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)`.


## Re-applying after a plugin update


1. In `main.js`, find and delete the two `registerDomEvent(activeDocument, "click"/"auxclick", …, true)` blocks inside `onLayoutReady()`.
2. Put them at the top of `onload()`, right after `await this.loadSettings();`.
3. Re-add the `// PATCH (lokal …)` comment block in front of them (as a marker for next time).

Obsidian can almost be anything you can think of. Made a vault to turn it into a bible. Required a little python coding but it works like I want it to. As many times as I've thought to make an app, I can't get away from the flexibility of Obsidian. I can add new features so much quicker.
