Manual Installation

Use a dedicated development vault — not your main personal vault.

  1. Create a new empty vault in Obsidian
  2. Clone the repo into the vault’s plugin directory:
mkdir .obsidian\plugins
cd .obsidian\plugins
git clone https://github.com/30jannik06/obsidian-presence.git
cd obsidian-presence
  1. Install dependencies and build:
pnpm install
pnpm run build

  1. In Obsidian: Settings → Community Plugins → turn off Restricted Mode → enable Obsidian Presence

  2. Make sure Discord is running — the status bar should turn green within a few seconds.

Development

pnpm run dev   # watch mode with inline sourcemaps
pnpm run build # production build (minified)

Updating

git pull
pnpm run build

Then reload Obsidian.
