Ownership
Obsidian Mate is independently owned and edited by Achraf Ayar. It is a small, owner-operated publication and resource directory—not an official Obsidian property and not a large editorial team.
Some articles use transparent, topic-based bylines to keep coverage organized. Those bylines do not carry invented credentials, employment histories, portraits, or social accounts. The active names and their work are listed on the authors page.
What the site publishes
Resource directories
Creator-attributed plugin, theme, template, vault, and AI-skill pages with source links and practical context.
Technical guides
Step-based articles about Obsidian setup, integrations, local files, automation, and AI workflows.
Browser-based tools
Utilities for generating vault structures, Bases, Markdown tables, Obsidian URIs, and format conversions.
Editorial comparisons
Source-based decision guidance that separates documented facts from Obsidian Mate's assessment.
How to read our recommendations
Listing a project is not a security certification or a promise that it will fit every vault. Community plugins can access files and networks with Obsidian's permissions, themes can change after updates, and third-party repositories can become inactive.
Use each page's source links, limitations, compatibility notes, and creator attribution before installing anything. Back up important vaults and evaluate unfamiliar code independently when sensitive data is involved.
