Quizzable helps you learn faster by turning your notes into playable quizzes directly inside Obsidian. You create content once in your vault and test your memory whenever you need a review. This tool supports multiple-choice questions to help you prepare for exams or master new topics.
Quizzable acts as a bridge between your study notes and active recall. Instead of just reading your text, you engage with the material through interactive prompts. The plugin scans your notes for specific tags and formats to generate questions. You track your progress and see your scores after each round.
To use this plugin, you must have the following items on your Windows computer:
- Obsidian installed and set up.
- An existing vault where you keep your notes.
- A basic understanding of how to open the settings menu in Obsidian.
You must visit the main repository page to download the plugin files. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official Quizzable repository.
- Look for the Releases section on the right side of the page.
- Click the most recent version available.
- Download the folder titled Source code (zip).
- Open your Obsidian vault folder on your computer.
- Navigate to the hidden .obsidian folder inside your vault.
- Open the plugins folder. If it does not exist, create a new folder named plugins.
- Unzip the downloaded file into this folder.
- Restart Obsidian to load the plugin.
Once you install the plugin, enable it in your settings:
- Open Obsidian.
- Click the Settings icon in the bottom left corner.
- Select Community plugins.
- Click Installed plugins and find Quizzable in the list.
- Toggle the switch to On.
You are now ready to write your first quiz. The plugin looks for specific formatting in your notes. Use the following structure to create a question:
- Start each question with a header.
- Use a list for your multiple-choice options.
- Mark the correct answer with a specific symbol defined in the plugin settings.
After you format your notes, you access the quiz player:
- Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl + P.
- Search for the command to start a new quiz.
- Select the note you want to study.
- The quiz window appears on your screen.
- Use your mouse to click the correct answer.
- The app shows your score at the end of the session.
If the plugin does not appear or fails to start, check these items:
- Ensure your notes end with the correct file extension (.md).
- Check that the plugin is enabled in the Community plugins tab.
- Make sure you extracted the files directly into the plugins subfolder.
- Verify that your vault path does not have unusual characters.
- Update Obsidian to the latest version if you experience display errors.
Group your quizzes by topic inside folders to keep your vault clean. Use the scoring system to identify weak areas in your knowledge. If you get a question wrong, the plugin displays the correct answer so you can adjust your understanding immediately. For complex subjects, break your notes into smaller sections. Smaller notes lead to faster quiz generation and better focus.

Can I share my quizzes with others? Yes, simply share your markdown files with other Obsidian users who also have the plugin installed.
