Qiaomu Home turns Obsidian's new tab into a searchable AI-powered start page
vista8 · x · 2026-09-26
Developer vista8 released Qiaomu Home (GitHub: joeseesun/qiaomu-home), an Obsidian plugin in beta (v0.1.0) that replaces the app's start page and blank new tab with a calm workspace.
Key features:
- Smart search box: find notes by name, alias, or path with recency ranking; with the Qiaomu companion plugin it also searches e-books, articles, radio stations, and past AI conversations — ⌘↵ queries the Qiaomu Agent directly, and empty results offer one-click note creation or full-text search.
- Quick actions: new note, daily journal, canvas, database, file import, plus any Obsidian command, all hideable and sortable.
- "Continue" cards: recent notes, book progress, unread articles, currently playing radio, and last AI conversation.
- Wallpapers: 30 built-in Unsplash picks (no key needed), keyword-based random images, or your own library.
The plugin uses a source-available license with a separate commercial license.
