Those plugins really add a lot of value to Obsidian and make for a much better user experience. Exploring those can be daunting as there are hundreds. Let me spare you some time and introduce you to the very best plugins out there!

A word of warning though: you don't need plugins to get started. Those improve and empower existing workflows, but none are mandatory. If you're just getting started, keep things simple. You can add some plugins over time, but don't waste your time in the beginning, and instead focus on what matters: taking and making notes!

First of all, keep in mind that this list is opinionated. There are many many more plugins out there. So let me first tell you where you can find additional ones.

And if you're a nerd like me, you could even leverage AI and programming to analyze the raw plugin stats to discover popular/trending plugins:

Obsidian comes out of the box with a set of "core" plugins that are disabled by default. You can enable/disable those through the options, under "Core plugins". Many of those are super useful.
