Obsidian Smart Composer is Fucking Awesome
Someone made a plugin called “Obsidian Smart Composer” that works similar to Cursor or Github Copilot, and other AI assistants in VSCode.
Except this one works in Obsidian.
And the UI feels very much like in Cursor, which is excellent!
As opposed to other plugins that do similar things:
- the UI is very clean
- it’s uncluttered – other plugins, like the one about embeddings (I forgot the name, ‘Smart Notes’?) this lets you focus. It doesn’t add so much initial friction that you’re fatigued before you even actually try it out.
- It does exactly what you expect it! I absolutely love it and will recommend it to everyone!
- Now people who don’t use VSCode can adopt Obsidian (which is among the best note-taking apps), and use functionalities similar to Cursor. This is huge.
What it’s missing:
- An inline editor. I don’t always use it in Cursor, but I would really like it.
- Autocomplete – if it had an autocomplete like Supermaven at least, or Codeium, it would be great.
