csvzall Mobile

Open and edit CSV files directly inside Obsidian mobile with the bundled csvzall WASM viewer.

csvzall Mobile is the phone and tablet companion to csvzall for Obsidian. It does not install the desktop helper binary and does not require a local server.

If csvzall Mobile saves you time, please star this repository. It helps other Obsidian users find the plugin and helps me gauge demand for continued mobile support.

What It Does

• Opens .csv files in an Obsidian mobile pane.
• Loads the bundled WASM viewer without installing a desktop helper binary.
• Supports basic CSV editing and saving back to the vault file.
• Includes an Obsidian-style mobile toolbar button for opening navigation.
• Stays inert on desktop so it does not compete with the desktop csvzall plugin for CSV ownership.

Requirements

• Obsidian mobile.
• A vault containing .csv files.
• No external csvzall binary is required.

Desktop Version

For desktop-native features such as chart generation, SQLite queries, large-file viewing through the native helper process, and managed helper binary updates, install csvzall for Obsidian.

It is safe to keep both plugins in the same synced vault. The desktop plugin is desktop-only, and csvzall Mobile only registers itself as a CSV handler on Obsidian mobile.

Privacy and Network Use

csvzall Mobile does not collect telemetry and does not download executable code at runtime. The WASM viewer assets are embedded in main.js and materialized into the plugin directory when the plugin loads.

Limitations

• Mobile support is focused on CSV viewing and editing.
• Charts, SQLite queries, and desktop helper-process features live in the desktop plugin.
• Very large files may still exceed what a mobile device can comfortably hold in memory.

Development
