- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates9
Keep the window on top of all other windows, with adjustable translucency.
Features
- Always on top toggle — via ribbon icon or command
- Translucency — opacity presets plus a fine-grained slider
- All windows — pinning and translucency apply to Obsidian's separate Settings window and popped-out panes too, including windows opened after you pin
Development
npm install # install dependencies
npm run dev # watch + rebuild main.js on change
npm run build # type-check and produce a production main.js
The plugin is written in TypeScript (main.ts) and bundled to main.js with esbuild.
Notes
- Desktop only (macOS, Windows, Linux) — uses the Electron window APIs through
@electron/remote. - Opacity affects the entire Obsidian window. Values above 85% are recommended for readability.
- Window opacity is supported on macOS and Windows; on Linux it depends on the compositor.
- Always-on-top and opacity reset to defaults when the plugin is disabled.

About
Keep Obsidian floating or pinned above other windows on your desktop with a button in the ribbon so it doesn't get lost. Adjust window transparency to keep obsidian above other windows like video meetings while remaining aware of what sits behind the obsidian window. Simple, but useful plugin to better integrate obsidian into your day to day especially when working in lots of applications or across multiple monitors.Details
