Navigation bar

On phones you can access Note Toolbar from the ribbon menu at the bottom of the Obsidian app, in a couple taps.

Or you can replace the ribbon menu icon with Note Toolbar, for access with one tap, if you don't mind replacing one of your other items:

How to add

To add Note Toolbar to your navigation bar:

1. In the mobile app, go to Obsidian settings: Appearance → Ribbon menu → Manage
2. Set the Quick access ribbon item to Note Toolbar

Configure the ribbon icon

In Note Toolbar's settings in the Other section, set the ribbon icon action to:

• Show all tools, which opens the Quick Tools window;
• Show all toolbars, which opens the Quick Toolbars window; or
• Show current toolbar, which is the toolbar mapped to the current note.

💡 Tips

• You can still access your other navigation bar / ribbon items by holding your finger down on the Note Toolbar icon (i.e., long-press it).
  • Note that you might be able to add your ribbon items to your toolbar, depending on what commands they provide.
• You can optionally set the toolbar's position to Hidden / Navigation bar on mobile, which will not show the toolbar within the note, for a cleaner experience.
• Toolbar menu items use the icon and the label, or if that's not set, it shows the item's tooltip.
  • Note that setting the icon or label to hidden on mobile does not affect whether it's shown in the menu.
