What is apex-dashboard?

Apex Dashboard is a plugin for the note-taking app Obsidian that gives you a single home page for your notes instead of having to jump between different files. It combines a memo pad, a todo list, and project tracking into one customizable view. The memo section lets you jot down quick thoughts, meeting notes, or daily reflections directly on writable cards without leaving the dashboard. The todo section gives you interactive checklists where you can add, reorder, drag and drop, and check off tasks, with a progress bar showing how much is done. Project cards let you group related notes together, show a cover image, and search your vault to attach new documents quickly. A quick links sidebar keeps your most used files one click away, and a customizable banner lets you show an inspirational quote or a background image, edited by double clicking it. You can drag cards between sections to rearrange your workspace, and add custom sections if the defaults do not cover how you like to work. The sidebar also shows recently edited files with relative timestamps so you can jump back into recent work quickly. The plugin ships with five distinct visual themes, ranging from warm earthy tones to a cyberpunk neon look, and all of them support both Obsidian's light and dark modes. Installation is either through the Obsidian Community Plugins browser, once it is listed there, or by manually downloading the release and placing it in your vault's plugins folder. Once enabled, it creates a plain text dashboard.md file in your vault, so everything you build stays as ordinary notes you can edit directly. The project is released under the 0BSD license.
