Obsidian for Raycast

This is a raycast extension with commands for the note taking and knowledge management app Obsidian. To use it, install the extension from the Raycast Store, open Raycast Search and type one of the following commands.

Overview

Search Note

This command allows for quick access to all of your notes. By default you can search notes by title. Enabeling content search in the commands preferences allows you to search for notes by their content and title. If there doesn't exist a note with the title you searched for you can create a new note with that title right from the command. Use the tag filter in the top right corner to filter notes based on their tags (both YAML frontmatter and inline tags).

Enabeling Show Detail and Show Metadata in the extensions preferences will show a sidebar view with the following information:

  • Note content
  • Character Count
  • Word Count
  • Reading Time
  • Creation Date

Create Note Command

Daily Note

This command will open the daily note from the selected vault. If a daily note doesn't exist it will create one and open it. It requires the community plugin Advanced Obsidian URI and the core plugin "Daily notes" to be installed and enabled.

Append to Daily Note

This command will append text to the daily note from the selected vault. If a daily note doesn't exist it will create one and open it. To append as efficiently as possible, the text is provided as a parameter to the command, so there's no form to fill out.
