Installation

Quick Start

1. Install the plugin in Obsidian.
2. Add your desired sounds (see Installing Sounds).
3. Reload the plugin.
4. Configure the plugin's settings to your liking.
5. Enjoy!

Installing the Plugin

From Obsidian

1. Open Settings in Obsidian (Ctrl+, by default).
2. Go to the Community plugins tab.
3. Enable community plugins, if not already enabled.
4. Search for Tick Tones.
5. Click Install.
6. Click Enable after installation.

From GitHub

1. Download the latest release.
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Move the extracted folder to your vault's plugin directory at .obsidian/plugins/.
4. Open Settings in Obsidian.
5. Enable Tick Tones in the Community plugins tab.

Installing Sounds

You can use curated sounds or add your own! Here’s how:

• Download sounds from the assets folder (curated by us).
• Or, find and download your own sounds from sites such as Pixabay or YouTube.

Supported formats: .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aac, .m4a, .opus, .webm

Adding Sounds

1. Place your audio files in the plugin's assets directory:

   .obsidian/plugins/tick-tones/assets
   

   Note: You may need to create the assets folder if it doesn't exist.
2. The .obsidian directory is hidden by default. You can find it in your vault’s root folder.

Why do I need to manually install sounds?

Obsidian plugins cannot bundle large audio files directly. This keeps the plugin lightweight and lets you choose only the sounds you want.

Reloading the Plugin

After adding new sounds, reload the plugin:

1. Open Settings in Obsidian.
2. Go to the Community plugins tab.
3. Disable Tick Tones.
4. Enable Tick Tones again.

Configuration

1. Open Settings in Obsidian.
2. Go to the Community plugins tab.
3. Find Tick Tones and click the Settings icon.
4. Configure sound, volume, and other options as desired.

Troubleshooting

Sounds not playing?

• Ensure the sound files are in .obsidian/plugins/tick-tones/assets
• Confirm the file format is supported
• Reload the plugin after adding new sounds (see above)
• Make sure your system’s audio is not muted
• Try to restart Obsidian
