Plugin : A set of capabilities installed into an AI application or a host · requires obsidian
AI actions on your notes using local models via Ollama.
100% local, the solution for sensitive notes.
Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.
What it does, concretely
Managing sensitive personal or professional notes with an AI assistant raises a privacy concern: most tools send your text to remote servers. Local GPT solves this by running artificial intelligence entirely on your own machine, with no external connection.
In practice, the plugin integrates into Obsidian and relies on a local AI provider, typically Ollama. Simply select text in a note to bring up a context menu offering predefined actions: summarize, fix spelling, find action items, continue writing, or use the text as a free prompt. An Action Palette also lets you run a one-time action without any prior selection.
The plugin suits people who take notes in Obsidian and want AI assistance without compromising data privacy: journalists, healthcare professionals, lawyers, researchers, or anyone who values digital privacy.
It is less suited to users who are not comfortable installing technical tools like Ollama, or to those looking for a ready-to-use solution with no prior configuration.
