Notion-style tables
for Obsidian Bases

GoodBases is a free, open-source plugin that renders your Obsidian Bases as Notion-style databases — clean chrome, colored pills, hover actions, and inline editing. Your notes stay yours; only the look changes.

GoodBases rendering an Obsidian Base as a Notion-style table

Features

Table

Notion-fidelity chrome

System font stack, hairline borders, row hover wash, and a horizontal scroll container so columns never crush — even in embeds and reading mode.

Pills

Colored value pills

Tags and list properties render with Notion's 9-color select palette. A deterministic hash keeps each value's color stable forever — or pin your own per value.

Editing

Inline cell editing

Click a cell to edit text and numbers in a floating input; checkboxes toggle in place. Pill cells open a select menu with every known value, search, and create-on-Enter.

OPEN

Hover-reveal OPEN button

Hover a row to reveal an OPEN button that jumps to the note, just like Notion's database rows.

Groups

Grouping support

Respects the Bases group by configuration, with Notion-style group headers and counts.

Options

View options

Wrap cell content, toggle vertical lines, force properties to render as pills, and pin pill colors — all from the view's settings menu.

Demo

Inline editing and the pill select menu in action

The pill select editor: current values as removable pills, a search-or-create input, and every known value for the property

The pill select editor up close — current values as removable pills, search or create on Enter, and every value already used for the property, each with its own stable color.

Support

GoodBases is built and maintained in my spare time, and it will always be free. If it makes your vault a little nicer to work in, a coffee goes toward new features — column resizing, calculated footers, editable tags — and keeping up with Obsidian's API changes.
