- Plagx Writer colours: headings, quotes, links and emphasis in the Plagx Writer palette (Paper colours in light mode, Ink colours in dark mode). Every colour meets WCAG AA contrast on the Plagx Writer backgrounds.
- Readable line width: narrow (36rem), medium (42rem) or wide (50rem) text column when Obsidian's "Readable line length" is on.
- Focus mode: one command collapses both sidebars and fades the ribbon, status bar and note header until you hover them. Run it again to restore your sidebars.
- Reading time in the status bar, for the whole note or just the selection (frontmatter is not counted). An optional word count can be turned on in settings; it is off by default because Obsidian's core word count already shows it.
Commands

|---|---|
| Toggle focus mode | Collapse sidebars and quiet the interface, or restore it |

Settings
Plagx Writer colours, readable line width, reading time, reading speed (words per minute) and an optional word count.
Install
From Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → Browse, search for "Plagx Writer Tools".
Manually: download main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the latest release into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/plagx-writer-tools/, then enable the plugin under Settings → Community plugins.
Privacy

Pairs well with
The Plagx Writer theme for Obsidian, which uses the same palette for the whole interface.
