Extensions Sync Manager

Manage two Obsidian configuration profiles from one vault, usually a desktop profile in .obsidian and a mobile profile in .obsidian_mobile.

The app shows extensions and base JSON configuration files side by side, lets you choose the desired state, and applies copy, install, remove, enable, disable, and single-value config changes with backups.

Features

• Compare desktop and mobile extension folders by content hash.
• Keep extension code and extension configuration together when copying an extension.
• Mark extensions as both devices, PC only, mobile only, frozen, ignored, or remove completely.
• Configure enabled or disabled state independently for PC and mobile.
• Review base configuration JSON differences by value.
• Copy a single changed JSON property from one profile to the other.
• Refresh baseline hashes to track future changes.
• Back up target files before overwrite or removal actions.

Requirements

Extensions Sync Manager is desktop-only because it uses Node.js file-system APIs to read, copy, and remove files inside hidden Obsidian configuration folders.

Settings

Open Obsidian settings, then Extensions Sync Manager.

• Desktop config folder: defaults to .obsidian.
• Mobile config folder: defaults to .obsidian_mobile.
• Backup folder: defaults to .obsidian/plugins/extensions-sync-manager/backups.

Settings, policy, and baseline state are stored in data.json, the standard Obsidian data file.

Privacy

Extensions Sync Manager does not use the network, telemetry, accounts, ads, or an auto-update mechanism.

This app accesses files inside your vault, including hidden Obsidian configuration folders such as .obsidian and .obsidian_mobile. It can copy, overwrite, and remove extension/configuration files only after you click an action and confirm it.

Installation

For manual installation, copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into:

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/extensions-sync-manager/

Then enable Extensions Sync Manager from Obsidian community settings.
