Obsidian Plugin v0.19.12

Run multiple Claude Code sessions, right inside Obsidian

A native Obsidian sidebar plugin for running multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel — with streaming markdown responses, tab management, and deep vault integration.

Install via BRAT View on GitHub

Everything you need to run agents in parallel

A curated look at the features that make Claude Threads more than a chat sidebar.

Multi-tab sessions

Open as many Claude threads as you need, switch between them instantly.

Streaming responses

Tokens stream in with live markdown rendering — code blocks, tables, lists, and more.

Agent Dashboard + Kanban

Monitor and dispatch to multiple threads from one view, or toggle a kanban board to visualize agent state by column — idle, running, waiting, done — with folder swimlanes per project.

Slash commands & skills

Built-in context commands plus your full ~/.claude/skills/ library, browseable with /.

Model switching

Set a persistent model per thread with /model fable|opus|sonnet|haiku, or a global default.

Goals and loops

Pin a persistent goal on a thread with /goal, or re-run a prompt on an interval with /loop 10m.

Permission dialogs & Plan Mode

Claude asks before writing files or running commands. In Plan Mode, Claude proposes a written plan you can Approve, Edit, or Reject before it touches anything.

Remote mobile access

Stay connected to your running threads and respond to permission requests from your phone.

@ file mentions

Type @ in the input to search vault files by name; selecting one injects its full content as context.

MCP Elicitation

When an MCP server needs OAuth or a form filled mid-session, a card appears inline so you can respond without leaving Obsidian.
