Background Tray v1.0.1 — first public release.

Keep Obsidian running in the system tray instead of quitting when you close the window.

Features

  • Run in background — closing the window (X) hides Obsidian to the tray instead of quitting.
  • Tray icon — left-click toggles show/hide; right-click menu: Show / Hide, Relaunch, Quit completely. Uses Obsidian's own app icon.
  • Single-instance focus — relaunching Obsidian while it's hidden restores the existing window instead of opening the vault switcher.
  • Custom tray icon & tooltip — {{vault}} is replaced with the vault name.
  • Bindable commands: Toggle window, Quit completely, Relaunch Obsidian.
  • Turning the plugin off restores all default behaviour (no leftover listeners).

Desktop only. Windows and macOS fully supported; Linux tray behaviour is best-effort.

Install (manual)

Copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/background-tray/, then enable under Settings -> Community plugins.
