Hi, I'm Christian.
A guide to Obsidian.
The plugins I make, the ones I install everywhere, and the places I send people to learn.
I've been building plugins for Obsidian since 2020. About a million people use one of them. This is what I send to anyone starting out — a small, opinionated tour of what's worth your time.
Plugins I make
-
QuickAdd
1,000,000+ usersCapture, template, and automate. Build your own commands. This is the big one — the project I've been refining for years.

PodNotes
A podcast player inside Obsidian. Timestamps link back to your notes, so listening becomes part of how you learn.
podnotes.obsidian.guide -
Auralite
AI assistance for your notes — writing, transcription, content enhancement. Built for the vault you already have.

Also: MetaEdit for editing YAML and Dataview fields, and NoteTweet for posting tweets straight from a note.
Plugins I install everywhere
Community plugins worth installing in any vault. Click through to install or read the source.

Templater — templates with JavaScript, for when QuickAdd isn't enough.
-
Excalidraw — sketch and diagram inside notes.
-
Tasks — track to-dos across your whole vault.
-
Style Settings — customize themes without touching CSS.
-
Obsidian Git — version-control your vault automatically.
Where to learn
Official channels and the corners of the community I trust. Start here when you're stuck.
If you're building something with Obsidian, or thinking about it, I'd love to hear from you.
