Obsidian Side Note v1.1.6
What's changed
- First launch now opens a guided setup screen instead of immediately showing the Finder folder picker.
- The setup screen explains what the app does, lists Obsidian prerequisites, provides a vault folder selection button, and includes shortcut customization plus the New Note resume interval.
- The vault picker remains native macOS/Finder-based so the app receives durable sandboxed read/write access to the selected vault.
- README first setup instructions now match the guided setup flow.
Obsidian prerequisites
The setup checklist references Advanced URI because it is the active community plugin for URI-based Obsidian automation. Install path: Obsidian Settings -> Community plugins -> disable Restricted mode if needed -> search Advanced URI -> Install -> Enable. Append to Daily Note also expects Obsidian's Daily notes core plugin to be enabled.
