A lightweight file info pane with native look and feel.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates4

File info pane that lives in Obsidian's right sidebar. No more, no less.

The main priorities of this project are:

  • simplicity: fills the gap for basic file metadata in Obsidian without adding unnecessary bloat
  • native look and feel: avoids custom styling to feel at home regardless of the theme

Usage

  • the entry point is in the top right sidebar button strip.
  • if the pane got dismissed, you can bring it back by executing the "Show file info" command from the command palette.
