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 Auto Hyperlink plugin enhances the note-taking experience in Obsidian by automatically converting specified words or phrases into hyperlinks in read mode. Users can define custom rules using JSON, where patterns (like specific words or regular expressions) are matched and linked to corresponding URLs. The plugin also supports placeholders for dynamic URL generation and multiple rule definitions, allowing for flexible hyperlink management. Additionally, it offers experimental features like mobile support and the ability to insert links into the editor view. This plugin simplifies the process of maintaining and linking relevant resources in notes without manually adding links, making it especially useful for large documents or repeated references.

The Automatic List Styles plugin enhances the visual appearance of ordered lists in Obsidian by automatically adjusting their style based on the level of indentation. This feature affects only the read mode, providing a variety of default styles such as decimal, lower and upper alphabetical, roman numerals, and different bullet styles like disc, circle, and square. The plugin helps organize and make multi-level lists more visually appealing without impacting edit mode. Though customization options for list styles are planned, the current functionality focuses on automatically shifting styles as per list depth, improving readability for users.
