Always-on-top sticky windows for Obsidian notes.

demo

Features

  • Always on top, dims when inactive — the sticky stays above other windows and fades to a low opacity when it loses focus.
  • Embeds for inline preview — ![[other-note]] renders inside the sticky as a compact card. Useful when the sticky is today's daily note and you want yesterday's note in view at the same time.
  • Link clicks don't navigate the sticky — a plain click on [[wiki]] or an embed header opens the linked note in the main Obsidian window; Cmd/Ctrl + click opens it as a new sticky. The sticky itself always stays on its own note.

Install from a release

Run the installer from the root of an Obsidian vault. The current directory must contain .obsidian.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zhuyinheng/mystickies_obsidian_plugin/main/install.sh | sh

If the repository name changes, override it:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/main/install.sh | env MYSTICKIES_REPO=<owner>/<repo> sh

The installer downloads main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest GitHub release into .obsidian/plugins/mystickies.

Development

npm install
npm run dev

Release attachments are generated under dist/ and intentionally ignored by git. For release validation:

npm run release:check

Release assets

Attach these files to each GitHub release:

  • dist/main.js as main.js
  • dist/manifest.json as manifest.json
  • dist/styles.css as styles.css
