I looked for the best Obsidian plugins to increase my productivity.

When writing this, well over 1000 community plugins are available for Obsidian – and many of them are really, really good.

To make it on this list, a plugin had to meet one or more of these criteria:

  • help me execute an activity faster,
  • save me time by automating things,
  • add missing functionality that is relevant to me,
  • make the interaction with Obsidian easier.
