Shimmering Obsidian is an Alfred workflow providing dozens of features for controlling an Obsidian vault from the macOS launcher, including note search, plugin/theme management, vault switching, and screenshot OCR. It is written in JavaScript (JXA) and featured in the official Alfred Gallery.
Use cases
- search obsidian notes from alfred
- quickly switch between obsidian vaults
- create new notes from a launcher
- search obsidian plugins and themes
- ocr screenshots into obsidian
- back up my obsidian vault
- browse links and tags of a note
When to choose
- you use Obsidian on macOS with Alfred (Powerpack) and want fast keyboard-driven vault control
- you want to search notes, tags, headings, and attachments without opening Obsidian
- you manage many community plugins and themes and want to toggle or open them quickly
When to avoid
- you don't use macOS or don't have Alfred with a Powerpack license
- you use a different note app than Obsidian
- you need cross-platform launcher integration (e.g., Windows/Linux)
