It also includes a built-in plugin browser searchable by keyword, developer name, or GitHub username, and a unified update checker that covers both official and unofficial (BRAT-installed) plugins. The author uses it to avoid manually reinstalling the same writing-focused plugins every time a new vault is created. One caveat: the plugin is relatively new with few contributors, raising some long-term maintenance concerns, though the developer has a solid track record with other Obsidian plugins. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I install the same set of Obsidian plugins across multiple vaults automatically? The Extension Hub plugin lets you group your favorite plugins into a set and install them all at once with the "Install Set" button, either to all vaults or specific ones. You add plugins through its built-in browser, which searches the official archive, GitHub, and the Obsidian forums, then save them to a reusable set instead of installing each plugin by hand every time you create a vault. _Anyone streamlining repetitive app setups can find more workflow tips like this on daily.dev._ ### Can Extension Hub update Obsidian plugins that aren't in the official plugin directory? Yes, its "Check Updates" feature checks for new versions of unofficial plugins too, including ones installed through BRAT for beta testing. It only checks the plugins present in your currently active vault, and it can also flag when an installed version is newer than the latest official release, which usually means you're running a beta build. _Developers tracking plugin and dependency updates keep an eye on tooling changes via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I use Obsidian as the front end for my home lab, and it took one plugin](https://daily.dev/posts/i-use-obsidian-as-the-front-end-for-my-home-lab-and-it-took-one-plugin-e7r6vbuev) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Zotero and Obsidian just became the most powerful research duo, thanks to this plugin](https://daily.dev/posts/zotero-and-obsidian-just-became-the-most-powerful-research-duo-thanks-to-this-plugin-i5mwxay0f) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [The future of Obsidian plugins](https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-obsidian-plugins-zbgltgurm) · Obsidian Blog · 237 upvotes · 21 comments - [I turned Obsidian into a personal command center, and now I barely open separate apps](https://daily.dev/posts/i-turned-obsidian-into-a-personal-command-center-and-now-i-barely-open-separate-apps-xrawuximg) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#productivity](https://daily.dev/tags/productivity) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/i-stopped-setting-up-every-obsidian-vault-by-hand-thanks-to-this-plugin-9hsnighna) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"I stopped setting up every Obsidian vault by hand thanks to this plugin","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-stopped-setting-up-every-obsidian-vault-by-hand-thanks-to-this-plugin-9hsnighna","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-stopped-setting-up-every-obsidian-vault-by-hand-thanks-to-this-plugin-9hsnighna"},"datePublished":"2026-08-08T20:04:10.280Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:05:10.474Z","description":"Extension Hub is an Obsidian plugin that lets you group your favorite plugins into named \"sets\" and install them all at once across new vaults.
