A paper desk on top of your Obsidian vault. Inbox, projects, notes, today’s summary, a calendar, and writing drafts become cards on a table. It reads real Markdown files. It does not create a second dashboard database.

Vault writes stay with you or your Agent. Inkdesk is for looking: cards you can drag, resize, and restack. Sticky notes and calendar marks live in the plugin’s own data.json, not in the vault.

Inkdesk desk

Folder names are settings. Defaults match a numbered vault layout: 00_Inbox, 10_Projects, 20_Knowledge, 30_Daily, 60_Writing, plus a pins file for short human to-dos.

Install the plugin

Copy main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json into:

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/inkdesk/

Enable Inkdesk in Obsidian community plugin settings (or “Installed plugins” if you loaded it manually). Reload the app.

Desktop helper (optional, macOS)

desktop/ is a Tauri menu-bar app. Each sticky note is its own window. It syncs quickNotes in the plugin data.json.

Point it at your vault with one of:

  • INKDESK_VAULT — vault root (it appends .obsidian/plugins/inkdesk/data.json)
  • INKDESK_DATA — full path to data.json
  • AGENT_VAULT — same as INKDESK_VAULT

If those are empty, it looks for a vault named 知识库 under iCloud Obsidian, Documents/Obsidian, or ~/Obsidian.

cd desktop
npm install
npm run desktop:dev

npm run desktop:build

把 Obsidian 仓库摊成一张书桌。 Inbox、项目、知识、今日摘要、月历、文稿变成桌上的卡片。读的是库里的 Markdown，不另建一套仪表盘数据库。

真正改笔记仍由你或 Agent 来。Inkdesk 负责看：卡片可拖、可缩、可重排。便签和月历贴记写在插件自己的 data.json，不写进 vault。

目录名可在设置里改。默认按编号布局：00_Inbox、10_Projects、20_Knowledge、30_Daily、60_Writing，另有一份给人看的钉子文件。

安装插件

把 main.js、styles.css、manifest.json 拷到：

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/inkdesk/

在 Obsidian 第三方插件里启用 Inkdesk，然后重载。

桌面便签（可选，macOS）

desktop/ 是 Tauri 菜单栏助手。每张便签独立窗口，同步插件 data.json 里的 quickNotes。

用下面任一方式指定仓库：

  • INKDESK_VAULT：vault 根目录
  • INKDESK_DATA：data.json 的完整路径
  • AGENT_VAULT：同 INKDESK_VAULT

都空着时，会在 iCloud Obsidian、Documents/Obsidian、~/Obsidian 下找名为「知识库」的库。

cd desktop
npm install
npm run desktop:dev

npm run desktop:build
