What it does

Control a running Obsidian instance via CLI to interact with notes, tasks, and vault properties without touching the UI. Reach for this when you need programmatic access to your knowledge base, want to automate note creation or searches, or are developing and debugging Obsidian plugins. Also supports plugin reloading, JavaScript execution, and DOM inspection for plugin development.

  • Create, read, search, and update notes and tasks in your vault
  • Manage note properties, tags, and metadata from the command line
  • Reload plugins and run JavaScript for plugin development and debugging
  • Take screenshots and inspect DOM for theme and plugin testing
