This is particularly valuable for users who frequently edit on mobile devices and want quick access to their most-used commands without sacrificing screen space for content. [GitHub](https://github.com/lorens-osman-dev/double-row-toolbar) [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=double-row-toolbar) Image from the plugin's GitHub repo. #### Note Locker The [**Note Locker**](https://github.com/Felvesthe/note-locker) plugin provides a simple yet effective solution for protecting important notes from accidental changes by automatically locking them in preview mode, preventing unintended edits while preserving the ability to intentionally modify content when needed. **🔑 Key Insights:** * **One-Click Protection**: Toggle notes between editable and locked states with simple right-click context menu options * **Persistent Lock Memory**: Remembers which notes are locked across Obsidian sessions, maintaining protection consistently * **Smart File Management**: Automatically maintains locks even when notes are renamed or moved within the vault * **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: Functions seamlessly on both desktop and mobile versions of Obsidian * **Intentional Override**: Allows deliberate editing when needed while preventing accidental modifications through auto-relock behavior **💡 Why It Matters:** Note Locker addresses a common problem in digital note-taking: accidentally modifying finalized or important content. By automatically keeping critical notes locked in preview mode, it prevents the frustration of inadvertent edits to completed work, reference materials, or templates. This is particularly valuable for users who maintain polished documentation, reference guides, or completed projects that should remain stable while still being accessible for intentional updates when necessary. The plugin strikes the perfect balance between protection and flexibility.
