demo

Generate note titles via a local LLM — default LMStudio, works with any OpenAI-compatible server (Ollama, vLLM, …). Renames use fileManager.renameFile, so backlinks update automatically. The UI auto-localizes (English / 中文) based on Obsidian's language.

Features

  • Title the current note — command Generate title for current note, default hotkey Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T, works on any markdown note.
  • Batch-rename timestamp notes — command Scan and title all timestamp notes processes notes whose filename matches a timestamp pattern (default YYYYMMDD_HHmmss, configurable).
  • No auto-trigger — you decide when it's done; press the hotkey to title.
  • Thinking off by default (reasoning_effort:"none") — fast and stable; can be turned on for reasoning models.
  • Customizable System prompt (write your own rules); timestamp format / regex / scan folders all configurable.

Privacy & permissions

  • Local only. The plugin's only network traffic is to the local LLM server you configure (http://127.0.0.1:1234 by default — LMStudio / Ollama / vLLM). No data leaves your machine; no third-party or cloud service is contacted.
  • What is read. The Generate title command reads only the current note's content. The Scan and title all timestamp notes command lists markdown filenames (vault.getMarkdownFiles) to find timestamp-pattern notes, and reads a matched note's content only when generating that note's title.
  • Why enumeration is needed. Batch-titling timestamp notes requires scanning filenames. It is scoped to your configured scan folders (empty = whole vault) and only filenames are matched against the timestamp pattern.
  • What is written. The plugin renames files via fileManager.renameFile (which also updates links/backlinks). It writes nothing else except its own settings (data.json in the plugin folder).
  • No analytics, no telemetry. Nothing about your vault or usage is collected or transmitted.

Prerequisites

  1. Install & start LMStudio, enable the local server in the Developer tab (default http://127.0.0.1:1234), and load a chat model (or enable JIT auto-load).
  2. Other OpenAI-compat servers (Ollama, vLLM, …): just change the Base URL in settings.

Install (dev)

npm install
npm run dev      # watch build
# or: npm run build   (one-shot main.js)

Copy main.js and manifest.json into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/llm-auto-title/, restart Obsidian, enable under Settings → Community plugins. Then pick a model in the plugin settings (type it or click the list button).

Notes

  • Desktop only (isDesktopOnly) — mobile can't reach a desktop's local server.
  • If a reasoning model with thinking on fails to converge, simplify the System prompt or turn thinking off.
  • The default hotkey is written best-effort to .obsidian/hotkeys.json; if it doesn't take effect, bind it manually under Settings → Hotkeys.

Test

node test/run.mjs            # pure-logic unit tests
node test/run-integration.mjs # integration tests (needs a running local server + a chat model)

LLM Auto Title(中文)

通过本地 LLM 为 Obsidian 笔记生成标题——默认 LMStudio,兼容任意 OpenAI-compat 服务(Ollama、vLLM 等)。重命名用 fileManager.renameFile,双链自动更新。界面根据 Obsidian 语言自动中英文切换。

功能

  • 为当前笔记生成标题——命令「为当前笔记生成标题」,默认热键 Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T,作用于任意 md 笔记。
  • 批量扫描命名——命令「扫描并命名全部时间戳笔记」处理文件名匹配时间戳格式的笔记(默认 YYYYMMDD_HHmmss,可配)。
  • 不自动触发——写完再手动按热键,避免给半成品命名。
  • 思考默认关闭(reasoning_effort:none),快且稳;需要时可开启推理。
  • System prompt 可自定义(写你的规则);时间戳格式/正则、扫描文件夹均可配。

安装(开发)

npm install
npm run dev      # watch
# 或 npm run build

把 main.js 与 manifest.json 放入 <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/llm-auto-title/,重启 Obsidian,在 设置 → 第三方插件 启用,然后在插件设置里选模型(输入或点列表按钮)。
