Plugins

Make Feather yours.

Small add-ons from the community: new commands, new blocks, new ways to work. Every one is reviewed, and every one runs in a sandbox.

SandboxedA plugin can't see your files, the internet or the rest of the app.
Asks firstIt only gets the access it asks for, and you see that before you install.
ReviewedEvery plugin and every update is read by a person before it's listed.

Build a plugin

Two files and an idea.

A plugin is a manifest.json that says what it needs and a main.js that uses Feather's small API. Put both in your notes folder under .feather/plugins/ to try it, then share it with a pull request.

Write manifest.json and main.js.
Try it in Feather: open Plugins and switch it on.
Open a pull request to the plugin repository. We review it and list it here.

// main.js: a "/" block that signs your note
feather.addSlashItem({
  id: "signature",
  label: "Signature",
  run: () => "Written with Feather",
});

// A command, with "notes:read" in the manifest
feather.addCommand({
  id: "count",
  name: "Count notes",
  run: async () => {
    const notes = await feather.notes.list();
    feather.notice(`You have ${notes.length} notes`);
  },
});
