On-demand check for duplicate conflict files and unexpected bloat in your .obsidian config folder. Report-only, with an extensible policy framework.
Vault Doctor
On-demand health check for your Obsidian config folder (.obsidian/). One button, one dated report. Nothing runs in the background; nothing is ever deleted for you.
Checks
- Config folder duplicates — numbered conflict copies inside
.obsidian/(workspace 2.json,data 3.json), guarded against false positives. - Config folder size — an oversized config folder, broken down per plugin so the culprit is named.
Both are report-only. See policies for what each flags and why.
Use
Run Run diagnosis from the command palette (or the stethoscope ribbon icon). A dated Markdown report is written to your vault root and opened.
Install
