Free Smart Plugins for Obsidian

Start with free core Smart Plugins

Install Smart Connections, Smart Context, and Smart ChatGPT at no cost. All run on the same local-first Smart Environment so setup stays simple and your notes stay in your vault.

Core plugins are designed to just work on day one. You can always add Pro plugins later when you are ready for more advanced workflows.

Core Smart Plugins for your Obsidian vault

These three plugins cover connections between notes, reusable context, and note-based chat. All share the same Smart Environment so you only configure models once.

Core plugin

Smart Connections

Instant semantic suggestions from your notes while you write.

  • ✔ Shows semantically related notes for whatever you are working on.
  • ✔ Uses local embeddings in the Smart Environment so your notes stay in your vault.
  • ✔ Great default setup you can extend later with Connections Pro features.

Core plugin

Smart Context

Build precise, reusable contexts from your vault for AI and writing.

  • ✔ Use a context selector modal to pick notes, folders, and blocks with size badges.
  • ✔ Save named contexts and manage them from a simple dashboard view.
  • ✔ Copy the current note with link depth control so prompts stay within model limits.

Core plugin

Smart ChatGPT

Note-based chat workflows that keep work attached to the notes that matter.

  • ✔ Manage chat threads directly from notes using simple codeblocks.
  • ✔ Bookmark chats back to the note you are working in so follow-up is easy.
  • ✔ Works with providers like OpenAI ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude via your Smart Environment settings.

How to install Core plugins
