Ribbon Bookmarks

Everything you reach for often, one click away in the left sidebar.

Screenshots

Features

• Web links and any file type — notes, PDFs, canvas, Excalidraw, Office documents, video, audio and archives.
• Nested folders — drop an item on another to group them. Folders open in cascading side menus and nest without limit.
• Drag and drop — drag a tab, a link, or files and folders straight onto the ribbon.
• Flat monochrome icons — Lucide, built-in brand logos, an online SVG search, or your own .svg files, always tinted by the current theme.
• No lock-in — it opens links in whichever browser is already enabled in the vault, and follows whatever tab behavior you have configured.

Installation

From the community directory

With BRAT — for testing a version that is not in the directory yet:

1. Install BRAT and run BRAT: Add a beta plugin for testing.
2. Enter bryanmongesolano/obsidian-ribbon-bookmarks.

Manually — copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the latest release into .obsidian/plugins/ribbon-bookmarks/.

Usage

Action	Result

Settings

Language: automatic (follows the app), English or Spanish.

Compatibility

• Requires Obsidian 1.13.0 or later.
• Tab behavior and browser rendering are inherited from the vault: Surfing → Web viewer → system browser, and Open Tab Settings when it is installed.
• No telemetry. The only network requests are the optional icon search and the site logo lookup, both started by you.

Development

npm install
npm run dev      # watch build
npm run lint     # ESLint + Stylelint with Obsidian's official rules
npm run build    # type check + production build
npm run deploy   # build, then copy into a local vault

npm run deploy needs the target vault:
