Obsidian Connect
Your Obsidian vault on your Edge: today's note, tasks to tick, quick capture, pinned and recent notes, a note's preview, tags, and your writing streak.
A built-in Spacedash widget for your Windows 11 or 10 desktop, at any size next to your other widgets. It works on the XENEON EDGE too. It's part of Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.
