Obsidian Lock Screen Plugin

Adds lock screen functionality to Obsidian. This is a UI-only feature; no actual filesystem encryption is taking place.

Features

Desktop

  • Show lock screen when window loses focus (with configurable delay)

Mobile

  • Show lock screen when interaction stops (with configurable delay). This is a workaround for sensing when the app has been backgrounded until Obsidian's API can notify plugins about app backgrounding.

Both

  • Show lock screen when vault is initially opened
  • Show lock screen via command palette
