  [![Buy Me A Coffee](https://img.shields.io/badge/Buy%20Me%20A%20Coffee-support-orange.svg)](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RakushkaTOP)

  This plugin automatically generates and maintains index notes for specified folders, listing files and subfolders recursively. It essentially brings the functionality of an "auto-index" script directly into Obsidian as a native plugin.

  ## 🎯 Features

  - **Recursive Indexing**: Automatically scans watched folders and builds a tree structure of content.
  - **Auto-Updates**: Updates index files automatically at a configured interval (default: 3 seconds).
  - **Smart Formatting**:
    - Lists subfolders with customizable emojis and bold text.

  ## ⚙️ Settings

  You can configure the following in **Settings > Auto Index**:

  - **Watched Folders**: A list of folder paths to monitor (one per line).
    - *Example*:
      ```
      Inbox
      Archive
      Projects
      Resources/Books
      ```
  - **Update Interval**: How often (in seconds) the plugin checks for changes.
  - **Folder Emoji**: Emoji or text to display before folder names (e.g., `📂`).
  - **Bold Folder Names**: Toggle to display folder names in **bold**.

  ## 📦 Installation
