Dangerous Mode

vanshkumarvanshkumar613 downloads

Dangerous writing mode: keep typing or after 5 seconds of inactivity the current note is erased.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates7

An Obsidian plugin that recreates the Most Dangerous Writing App inside a single note. Start a timed session; if you stop inserting text for 5 seconds, the plugin wipes the current note’s body (preserving YAML frontmatter). A red-edge warning appears a couple seconds into idleness and intensifies toward the cutoff. During a session, selection, copy/cut/paste, undo/redo, and drag‑drop are blocked. The session auto‑ends after the chosen duration without wiping if you keep typing.

  • Command: Dangerous Mode: Start (choose 5/10/15 minutes or custom)
  • Idle reset: only real insertions (typing, Enter) reset the 5‑second timer
  • Scope: only the note active when you started can be wiped; others are unaffected
  • Safety: intentionally destructive by design — use at your own risk

Show a red-edge warning that intensifies during idleness, block selection, copy/cut/paste, undo/redo and drag-drop while active, and end automatically after the chosen duration if typing continues.
