The catalog
Premium Part of the plugin platform. See Licensing.
plugin-catalog.png The plugin catalog listing available plugins with install buttons.
The catalog lists available plugins and handles installing and updating them.
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Install | Adds the plugin to your vault and makes it available in the sidebar |
| Update | Replaces it with a newer version |
| Remove | Deletes the plugin. Your notes are untouched |
Built-ins are already there
Section titled “Built-ins are already there”The five built-in plugins need no installation — they ship with the app and just need enabling in the sidebar. The catalog is for anything beyond them.
What a plugin can reach
Section titled “What a plugin can reach”A plugin reads and writes notes in the folder it is scoped to. It has no access to the rest of your Mac, and no network access of its own.
Since a plugin can write to your notes — the Kanban board rewriting status is
exactly that — install ones you understand, the same judgement you would apply
to any other editor extension. A plugin is a readable Markdown file; you can open
it and see what it does before enabling it.
