Overview
Set any note, workspace, or canvas as your vault homepage. Automatically opens when you launch Obsidian or switch vaults. It helps users who want Obsidian to open on a dashboard, canvas, workspace, or other dependable starting view. The practical value is a repeatable workflow that remains visible in ordinary Markdown or Obsidian's own interface, rather than an isolated feature added without a plan.
How to Install Homepage
- 1Open Obsidian Settings, select Community plugins, and confirm Restricted mode is disabled.
- 2Search the community catalog for Homepage, install it, and enable it.
- 3Open the plugin settings and review its defaults before using it on existing notes.
- 4Test the workflow in a copied note or disposable vault, then inspect the resulting files.
How to Use Homepage
Choose an existing note as the home view, test a normal launch and a vault switch, then decide whether the homepage should replace the current tab or open in a separate view.

A Safe First Workflow
Choose an existing note as the home view, test a normal launch and a vault switch, then decide whether the homepage should replace the current tab or open in a separate view.
Limits and Checks
- A homepage improves navigation but does not keep dashboard content current. Embedded queries and links still need their own maintenance.
- Keep a recoverable vault backup before enabling automation or bulk changes.
