# Smart random note plugin for Obsidian This plugin adds a way to open a random note based on the list of search results. This is a great addition to explore your knowledge base randomly (always useful to re-discover old/forgotten notes). This plugin adds new ways to open random notes: - Open a random note based on search results - Open a random note having a specific tag - ... ## Maintenance status Checked on 2026-10-09: the last release is 0.2.1 (2021-07-08), and the last code change on GitHub dates from 2023-03-28. No new release in more than 12 months doesn't mean the plugin is broken. Many small plugins are simply done: they do one thing and keep working as long as Obsidian's APIs don't change. I haven't re-tested it on Obsidian 1.14.4 (it's not enabled in my own vault), but nothing indicates that it's broken. Still, keep an eye on it after major Obsidian updates. If it ever stops working, alternatives include the core Random note command (and `obsidian random:read` in the CLI), Simple Note Review, Doomscroll or the shuffle of the Dynamic Views plugin for Bases. ## References - Source code and documentation: https://github.com/erichalldev/obsidian-smart-random-note ## Related - [[Obsidian Starter Kit]]
