My Note Minimap (Scrollbar)
An Obsidian plugin that adds a colour-coded minimap / scrollbar beside each markdown note, with click-and-drag navigation. Works on desktop and mobile.
Features
- Choose between a scrollbar style and a minimap style
- Click and drag to jump around long notes, with touch support on mobile
- Optional arrow buttons, hold-to-scroll and smooth scrolling
- Customisable thumb colour, width, shape (pill, rounded, square), opacity, track and glow
- Choose which side it appears on
- Per-device margins for phones with notches or rounded corners
- Option to hide on mobile, plus exclusions
Compatibility
- Requires Obsidian 1.4.0 or newer.
- Works on desktop and mobile (iOS and Android).
Recommended setup (mobile)
For the best experience on mobile, turn off the pull-down gesture so it doesn't compete with the scrollbar when you drag near the top of a note:
- Open Settings → Interface.
- Scroll to the Mobile section.
- Tap Configure mobile Quick Action and set the command to None.
