- Fixed a critical issue on macOS 26.1 that prevented some customers from opening and using the app, so you can get back to your notes without interruption. - Resolved a file-handling problem where working with files (not notes) could produce strange characters in file and folder paths. Your file names now stay clean, predictable, and exactly as you created them. - Added an in-app notice about upcoming macOS requirements starting in 2026. If you are on macOS 13 or 14, you will now see a clear heads-up so you can plan ahead and avoid surprises. - Updated the "Linking your vault" introduction with an extra sentence that explains what qualifies a folder as a vault root folder. This helps you pick the correct folder the first time and avoid setup confusion. - Improved error reporting in Shortcuts actions, so when something goes wrong you get clearer messages that make it easier to understand what happened and how to fix it. - Clarified the descriptions of Obsidian File actions to explicitly state they only work with files and folders inside the currently selected vault. This reduces the risk of expecting access to locations that the app cannot reach. - Added a new "Contact the author" option, making it simpler to request support directly from within the app when you run into issues or have questions.

- The Get File action is once again correctly returning requested files. - Correctly surfaces the UID link as part of a note: an `obsidian://` link to the note that doesn't change even when the note title is changed. - Minor bug fixes and adjustments.

Bug fixes for customers on macOS Ventura, bug fixes related to handling vaults with umlauts in their names, cosmetic adjustments. It's a bug fix release, alright.

v2025.1.0 brings lots of bugfixes for several notes actions; keeps AFO out of the dock where before it would pop in and out when one of its Shortcuts actions was active; and removes the dedicated "Periodic Notes" actions -- the functionality is still there but was moved into the standard notes actions last year, and so these old actions aren't needed anymore.

This is a minor update which fixes the display of errors shown in the Shortcuts editor.

This update makes the navigation tabs look nice on Sequoia, fixes an issue which could cause a crash during onboarding when picking a vault folder, and makes error messages more readable. Enjoy!

This minor release adds a workaround for a bug introduced in iOS 18.0 & macOS 15.0 which makes note-related actions ask for a file path, even though they should get the file path from a previous AFO action's result.

v2024.2 brings some solid enhancements, the major ones being: 1. Note actions, unite! Merging of general notes and Periodic Notes functionality 2. General support for note UIDs 3. Periodic notes support in Note Properties actions 4. More documentation in-app and on the website Check it out, it's rather good. ;)

- Fixes for the somewhat broken "Get Vault Reference" action - Minor visual adjustments

- Support for working with files: Directly save non-text files to your vaults - Clearer vault handling - Get notes by their title - Get the currently focussed note from Obsidian And of course bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.

Bug fixes related to the "Open or focus note" toggles, the creation of notes, and the generating of links to Obsidian notes.

Minor bug fixes related to Note objects returned by some actions.

### Support for Note Properties Obsidian 1.4 brought us Note Properties, a very nice new core feature for organizing note metadata. This update adds actions for reading, writing, removing and clearing out note properties. See the “Notes” section in the Docs tab for links to their documentation pages. Additionally, all “Get note …” and “Create note …” actions now return the note’s Properties as well.

## New Things in 1.3 - Better vault handling: AFO will now keep track of successful vault connections and allow you to choose from this list when configuring your actions - Support for Periodic Notes: In addition to Daily Notes, you can now also use Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly Notes - Support for triggering Obsidian commands: Run Obsidian Commands, i.e. what you see in Obsidian's command palette, right from your Shortcuts workflows ## Changes - Bugfixes & a few minor QOL improvements

## New Things in 1.2 - The macOS app has been redesigned! You'll now find links to all the documentation, as well as your trial or license situation, right in the main window. - New and existing licenses have also received an upgrade: they can be shared with up to 5 additional family members via Apple's Family Sharing service. - (Action) New: "Search Notes with Omnisearch", for when you want solid search results! It requires the community plugin Omnisearch. - (Action) "Create Note" and "Create Daily Note" now support applying templates when creating notes, see the documentation for the actions. - (Action) "Append Note" and "Prepend Note" (and their Daily Note counterparts) can now append/prepend sections below headlines. - (Action) "Append Note" and "Prepend Note" (and their Daily Note counterparts) can now gracefully create the target note on the fly if it doesn't already exist. - (Action) The "Insert Text At Placeholder" actions support YAML-compatible placeholders, i.e. `#placeholder#`. - (Action) Actions that modify notes (create, insert, append, etc.) now have a toggle to *not* open or focus the note. - The companion plugin Actions URI has been updated to 1.2.2, please update it in the vaults you use with Actions for Obsidian. ## No Longer Broken in 1.2 - (Action) The "Insert Text At Placeholder" actions would crash if the replacement parameter was empty. They got a stern talking to and now work as expected. - (Action) Some vault actions (such as Open Vault) would complain about missing parameters. This has been fixed. ## Breaking Changes in 1.2 - (Action) On iOS, "Search Notes" has been removed. The Obsidian API doesn't support search, so we developers have relied on brittle workarounds to collect search results, but it's not a stable solution, especially on mobile. Please use the new "Search Notes with Omnisearch" action instead. - (Action) On iOS, the "Get Vault Path", "Get New File Folder Path", and "Get Attachment Folder Path" actions have been removed as they have been rendered useless by the iOS sandbox security feature. ## Also Important in 1.2 - The purchasing window will now ask if you use Actions for Obsidian in a commercial setting or want to share your license with family members, and pick a suggested base price. - If you like the app, I'd really appreciate an App Store rating or review. Thank you!

Bug fixes related to the trial period.

This release is preparing things for the upcoming iOS release. It also sets the min required version of the Obsidian companion plugin Actions URI to 1.1.2. Please update the Actions URI plugin in Obsidian as well (Obsidian → Settings → Community Plugins)!

+++ A full change log can be found at https://obsidian.actions.work/changes +++ ### Breaking changes (worth it, though) A few actions have been streamlined and enhanced! If you used them in your shortcuts, you should check up on them as they might break the workflows. - "Check For Existence Of Daily Note" & "Check For Existence Of Note" actions return a true /false result instead of the old available /unavailable status, making it easier to use the action result in an "If" block. - "Create Daily Note" & "Create Note" gained options to gracefully deal with possibly existing notes ### Changed - "Open … In Obsidian" actions no longer call back to Actions for Obsidian after opening, Obsidian remains focussed now.

Fixes possible issue with purchase reminders appearing right away.
