The Hidden Folder plugin for Obsidian allows you to create and manage hidden folders within your notes. With its intuitive interface, you can easily set up custom folder hierarchies using regular expressions. This means you can hide away irrelevant or sensitive information, keeping your note-taking experience organized and clutter-free. The plugin also features a ribbon icon for easy enablement and disabling of the feature, making it simple to toggle on and off as needed.

The File Ignore plugin allows users to control which files Obsidian indexes by applying dot prefixes, similar to a .gitignore mechanism. It helps improve performance by preventing large or unnecessary files from being indexed, reducing startup times significantly. Users can define matching rules to hide specific files, folders, or patterns and toggle visibility when needed.
