Mobile Tab Bar

Browser-style tab bar for switching between open notes on mobile.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates3

Browser-style tab bar for switching between open notes on Obsidian mobile. Replaces the title bar with a scrollable row of tabs. Desktop is unaffected.

Mobile Tab Bar

Features

  • Scrollable row of tabs when multiple notes are open
  • Tap to switch, long-press to close
  • Active tab auto-scrolls into center view
  • Optional save indicator dot (green = saved, red = pending), requires autosave-control

[!NOTE] The save dot reads .save-status-icon from autosave-control's DOM and may break if that plugin changes its class names.

Install

Search "Mobile Tab Bar" in Settings > Community plugins > Browse.

Manual: download main.js, styles.css, manifest.json from Releases into .obsidian/plugins/mobile-tab-bar/.

Customization

Override CSS classes in a snippet:

.mtb-tab-bar { background: var(--background-secondary); border-radius: 8px; }
.mtb-tab     { font-size: 11px; padding: 0 8px; }

Build

npm install
npm run build   # output: main.js
npm run dev     # watch mode
