The Homepage plugin allows users to set a specific note, canvas, or workspace to open automatically when launching Obsidian. Users can configure how previously opened tabs are handled-keeping them, replacing the last note, or closing them all. The plugin supports opening the homepage in various views, such as Reading, Source, or Live Preview, and can revert to the default view when navigating to another note. Additionally, users can trigger Obsidian commands upon opening the homepage, enabling seamless integration with other plugins like Dataview to create dynamic landing pages.

The StartPage plugin creates a modern homepage for your vault, showing key information the moment you launch the app or open a new tab. It combines a clean, card-based design with real-time vault statistics like total notes, today's edits, and storage usage. You can pin important notes for quick access, view recently modified files, and adjust how many entries appear. Navigation is smooth with search, context menu integration, and one-click actions like creating a new note. The interface adapts automatically to light or dark themes and supports both English and Chinese, with instant language switching. Smart refresh ensures updates appear promptly when files change, while toolbar and right-click menu options give multiple ways to interact with the dashboard.
