Manual Installation

View as MarkdownOpen in ClaudeOpen in ChatGPT
  1. Go to Releases and open the latest release.
  2. Download the release assets. If there is a ZIP file named like quickadd-x.x.x.zip, download that. If the release lists loose files instead, download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.
  3. Open your Obsidian plugins folder. If you don’t know where that is, go to Community Plugins inside Obsidian. There is a folder icon on the right of Installed Plugins. Click that and it opens your plugins folder.
  4. Create a folder named quickadd inside the plugins folder, or open it if QuickAdd is already installed.
  5. Extract the ZIP file into .obsidian/plugins/quickadd/, or copy the loose main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css files into .obsidian/plugins/quickadd/.
  6. Restart Obsidian. Go to Settings → Community plugins, turn off Restricted mode if it is on, and enable QuickAdd under Installed plugins.

When updating, replace only the three release files. Keep data.json and the rest of the quickadd folder to preserve your choices and settings.

Do not place main.js, manifest.json, or styles.css directly in .obsidian/plugins/. They must be inside the quickadd folder.

When finished, your vault should contain these files:

.obsidian/plugins/quickadd/main.js
.obsidian/plugins/quickadd/manifest.json
.obsidian/plugins/quickadd/styles.css
