The Force Read Mode plugin allows users to enforce read-only mode for markdown files within specified folders in Obsidian. This ensures that files from these folders are always opened in read (preview) mode, preventing accidental edits. Users can configure multiple folder paths where this behavior is applied. The plugin is ideal for those who want to protect specific notes or folders from unintended changes or maintain a consistent read-only experience. Its simple settings interface makes it easy to specify folder paths where read mode should be enforced, offering greater control over file access and editing within Obsidian.

The Crypt It plugin for Obsidian allows you to easily encrypt files directly within your vault. By right-clicking on a file, you can generate an encrypted version using a password. The plugin follows the rclone-crypt format for encryption. This is particularly useful for users who need to secure sensitive documents while working in Obsidian. However, it is important to note that the plugin does not store the password, and it cannot be recovered if forgotten.
