The Novel Word Count plugin allows users to track a wide range of statistics for files, folders, and entire vaults directly in Obsidian's File Explorer pane. It provides real-time updates for metrics like word count, page count, reading time, character count, and even custom properties from frontmatter. The plugin allows users to display up to three statistics at once, offering flexibility to customize what data appears next to each file or folder. Users can set word count goals for specific notes and track progress as a percentage. Folder statistics roll up data from contained files, providing a comprehensive view. It includes filtering options to exclude specific files, folders, or code blocks from word counts. The plugin is designed for writers, researchers, and anyone managing large collections of notes who want to measure writing productivity in detail.

The Collapse All plugin enhances Obsidian's ability to collapse and expand content within various views. It introduces bindable commands for collapsing, expanding, and toggling views, all of which can be accessed via the command palette or assigned to hotkeys. The plugin supports multiple areas, including the File Explorer, Tag Pane, Search, and Bookmarks. Users can control these views individually or apply the commands globally to affect all supported views simultaneously. The added functionality makes it easier to organize and manage large vaults by quickly collapsing or expanding content, providing greater control over the visibility of files, tags, and search results.

The Reveal Active File Button plugin adds a convenient button to Obsidian's interface that reveals the location of the currently active file in the File Explorer. This feature provides a quick way to locate and view neighboring files within the same directory. Instead of using the existing command or pane menu option, users can simply click the crosshairs icon to scroll the File Explorer to the active file's position. The plugin enhances workflow efficiency, especially in large vaults or folders with numerous files, where locating a file manually can be tedious. If the file position is not accurate on the first click, a second click ensures the file is correctly highlighted.

The Prominent Bookmarked Files plugin is a game-changer for those who frequently use bookmarks to organize their notes. With this plugin, you can make your bookmarked files stand out within the Obsidian File Explorer, giving you instant visibility into which files are most important or relevant to your current project. By customizing the appearance of these highlighted files, you can tailor the layout and style to fit your workflow needs. This plugin is a must-have for anyone who relies on bookmarks to keep their notes organized and easily accessible.

The Manual Sorting plugin allows users to organize files and folders in Obsidian's file explorer using drag-and-drop. Unlike default sorting options, this plugin enables custom ordering that persists even after restarting the application. Users can easily rearrange their vault structure by manually adjusting the position of notes and directories, providing greater flexibility in workflow organization.

The Frontmatter Alias Display plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who utilize the Zettelkasten method. This plugin allows you to display frontmatter aliases as note titles in the File Explorer, making it easier to navigate your notes. Instead of seeing arbitrary IDs like `202303041748`, you can now see more informative titles like `the difference between .prototype and .constructor`. This feature combines the benefits of using note IDs for linking with the readability of descriptive titles. With this plugin, you can use Obsidian's link alias syntax to link to notes while displaying a custom title.

The Headings in Explorer plugin enhances the Obsidian file explorer by integrating headings from documents into a clickable hierarchy. This feature simplifies navigation by consolidating heading-based access directly within the file explorer, eliminating the need to toggle between panels. Users can customize which heading levels to display and benefit from a 'Highlight Location' feature that reveals and highlights the current heading based on the cursor's position. The plugin also supports advanced configurations to include non-heading text, such as bolded lines or regex-matched patterns, as pseudo-headings in the explorer. Designed for desktop use, it integrates seamlessly with core Obsidian functionality, making navigation more efficient.

The File Explorer Markdown Titles plugin enhances Obsidian’s file explorer by displaying the first markdown header from each note alongside its filename in the sidebar. This provides quick visibility into the content of notes without opening them. Additionally, it updates the graph view to replace note titles with their markdown headers, offering a more informative and content-focused visualization of your notes. The plugin operates seamlessly without requiring configuration, making it a simple and effective tool for better navigation and overview of your vault.

The TreeFocus plugin enhances the Obsidian file explorer by allowing users to style files and folders based on predefined rules or manual configurations. It enables highlighting, dimming, and custom styling for important or less relevant items, making navigation more intuitive. Users can apply styles globally using matching rules or explicitly set styles via the context menu. The plugin is compatible with other tools like Icon Folder, adding versatility to visual customization. TreeFocus provides presets like 'Fancy' for quick application and allows detailed customization through settings, ensuring a tailored experience for managing vaults.

The Simple Focus plugin for Obsidian offers a streamlined way to concentrate on specific files or folders by decluttering the file explorer. With a simple right-click, you can "focus" on a chosen file or folder, instantly hiding all other items from view. This feature is perfect for users who work on large projects and need to eliminate distractions when editing or organizing notes. Ideal for minimalists and productivity enthusiasts, the plugin helps maintain a clean workspace within Obsidian, allowing users to zero in on their current tasks. Whether you're drafting a document, managing a folder of resources, or working through a focused writing session, this plugin simplifies your workflow with an intuitive and efficient interface. Installation is straightforward, and the plugin supports macOS and iOS platforms, making it accessible for a wide range of Obsidian users.
