Sync Settings for Windows

loah8loah828 downloads

Share settings across vaults using profiles.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates3

An Obsidian plugin that shares settings (plugins, themes, snippets, hotkeys, etc.) across multiple vaults using profiles.

Settings View

Features

  • Profile management — Create named profiles (e.g. default, work, mobile) in a central folder
  • One-click apply — Apply a profile to any vault with a single click
  • Selective sync — Choose which settings to share per profile. Keeps workspace and graph settings local per vault
  • Windows native — Built for Windows

How it works

  1. Set a profiles folder (e.g. D:\Obsidian\settings\)
  2. Create or select a profile — each profile is a subfolder containing shared settings
  3. Apply the profile to your vault — the plugin links your vault's settings to the profile

Multiple vaults pointing to the same profile will always stay in sync.

Local-only items (not shared)

  • workspace-mobile.json
  • graph.json

Important notes

  • Run Obsidian as Administrator for best results. This removes all drive restrictions.
  • Without Administrator, only vaults on the same drive as the profiles folder can be linked.
  • After applying or changing a profile, Obsidian may not pick up the new settings immediately due to caching.
  • The settings tab may also show stale values until you restart.
  • Restarting Obsidian will always load the latest settings.
