Smart Connections

Smart Connections helps writers and researchers find earlier work related to their current Obsidian note. It surfaces relevant material without requiring a search query or links you've already made.

• Related notes and passages: Matches based on meaning bring research, ideas, and decisions into view alongside the note you're working on.
• Connections views: You can review suggestions beside your note or at its end and decide which material to reuse. Suggestions don't edit your notes.
• Optional companion plugins: Smart Lookup searches from a question, while Smart Context lets you select and review sources for an AI request. Smart Chat Core keeps a link to an AI conversation in your note rather than a copy of the conversation.

Smart Connections works independently of those companion plugins. Its free Core includes a local embedding model, works offline by default, and requires no API key. With the default local processing, your notes stay on your machine. The plugin supports mobile devices, and its core is source-available.
