# Obsidian Plugins Plugins are how [[Obsidian]] goes from a Markdown editor to a platform. Two kinds exist, and the distinction matters: - **Core plugins** ship with Obsidian, are maintained by the Obsidian team, and toggle on/off in settings. See [[Obsidian Core Plugins]] for the full annotated list. - **Community plugins** are third-party code from the plugin directory (thousands of them). They require leaving [[Obsidian Restricted Mode]] and run with full application access; choose deliberately. See [[Obsidian Community Plugins]] for my annotated catalog, and [[Obsidian AI Plugins]] for the AI-specific subset. Community plugins are built against the [[Obsidian Plugin API]] and distributed through the official directory; pre-release ones install via the [[BRAT plugin for Obsidian]]. ## My own plugins I build and maintain a fleet of Obsidian plugins (Dataview Serializer, Kanban Action Planner, Book Exporter, and many more), all listed in [[My Obsidian Plugins (MoC)]] and built on the [[Obsidian Plugin Template (Bun)]]. ## All plugin notes in this vault <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #obsidian/plugins AND !#type/quote AND !#type/creation/article AND !#type/creation/own_article AND !#type/creation/news WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: LIST FROM #obsidian/plugins AND !#type/quote AND !#type/creation/article AND !#type/creation/own_article AND !#type/creation/news WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> -

My rule: a plugin must either remove real friction or enable something structurally impossible without it. - Review your installed plugins periodically for staleness and abandoned repos; the plugin model trades safety for power (see [[Obsidian Restricted Mode]]). ## References - Community plugins directory: https://obsidian.md/plugins - Plugin submissions: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases ## Related - [[Obsidian]] - [[Obsidian (MoC)]] - [[Obsidian Core Plugins]] - [[Obsidian Community Plugins]] - [[Obsidian AI Plugins]] - [[My Obsidian Plugins (MoC)]] - [[Obsidian Plugin API]] - [[Obsidian Restricted Mode]] - [[Obsidian Plugin Template (Bun)]] - [[BRAT plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Useful resources for Obsidian]]
