I Audited My 34 Obsidian Plugins (Here’s What Survived)
Turns out I have 34 plugins in Obsidian.
So I decided to figure out which ones actually deserved to stay.
In this video, I walk through every plugin in my vault and audit them using one simple rule: does this meaningfully improve my workflow, or is it just complexity creep?
This isn’t about minimalism for the sake of it. I’m not anti-plugin. I’m anti-unintentional plugin.
If you’re building an Obsidian system for real work, not productivity theater, this video will help you think more intentionally about what belongs in your setup.
