Playlist-based note navigation for Obsidian. Create playlists, navigate notes sequentially, track your reading progress, and manage your flow from a dedicated sidebar panel.
Playdown turns a set of notes into a "playlist": add notes to an ordered list, read them one by one, mark your position, and jump back at any time. It is built for sequential reading workflows such as reviewing a series of notes, reading a book chapter by chapter, or working through a learning path.
Features
- Playlists: create, rename, and delete multiple playlists; import a playlist from
[[wiki links]]in the current note; export a playlist back to Markdown. - Sequential navigation: previous / next / play from start, with an always-visible progress indicator for the active playlist.
- Reading mark: mark the current note and move forward, then return to the marked note whenever you like.
- Queue ordering: reorder notes by drag and drop, or from the keyboard with
Alt+ArrowUp/Alt+ArrowDown. - Sidebar view: progress bar, current note, playlist management, and queue controls in a single panel.
