Start-Obsidian-Vault-Manager

Start Obsidian Vault Manager at startup

❓ What it does

By default Obsidian opens last visited Vault.

This script makes Obsidian always open Vault Manager

(currently only windows is supported)

❕Important❕

This script has to be run before Obsidian is open - this scripts automates it.

Here it opens Obsidian after executing the script so it is recommended to replace original Obsidian shortcuts with shortcuts to provided files.

🧩 Installation

instructions assume default Obsidian installation location is used. If in your case it is different, adjust accordingly

(In the future installation script will be available)

• Move vault-manager.cmd and start-vault-manager.cmd.vbs to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\obsidian (where USER is your username).
• Create a shortcut to start-vault-manager.cmd.vbs and use it as your new starting point for Obsidian.

Detailed installation here (recommended)

⚙️ How It works

Obsidian stores information about last visited Vault inside obsidian.json file in default install location \AppData\Roaming\obsidian\obsidian.json by adding "open":true next to last visided one.

This script removes "open":true part forcing Obsidian to open Vault Manager.
