Muse

A distraction-free writing plugin for Obsidian that generates personalized blog post topics using AI. Enter writing mode, get a prompt based on your actual projects and interests, and start writing.

Features

• Full-screen writing mode — hides all Obsidian UI, leaving just your prompt and a clean writing surface
• Personalized prompts — pulls your real GitHub repositories and combines them with your profile to suggest specific, concrete blog post topics
• No repeats — remembers your recent prompts and asks for something different each time
• Multi-provider — works with Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT), your choice
• Works on mobile — designed for desktop and mobile Obsidian, including Android with physical keyboards

Installation

Until Muse is available in the Obsidian community marketplace, install it manually using the GitHub CLI:

# Latest release
gh release download \
  --repo TekGadgt/Muse \
  --pattern "main.js" \
  --pattern "manifest.json" \
  --pattern "styles.css" \
  --dir <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/Muse/

# Specific version
gh release download 0.3.2 \
  --repo TekGadgt/Muse \
  --pattern "main.js" \
  --pattern "manifest.json" \
  --pattern "styles.css" \
  --dir <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/Muse/

Replace <vault> with the path to your Obsidian vault. After downloading, enable the plugin in Settings > Community plugins.

Setup

1. Install the plugin and enable it
2. Open Settings > Muse
3. Choose your AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI)
4. Enter your API key (Anthropic or OpenAI)
5. Optionally set a model override (defaults to Claude Sonnet for Anthropic, GPT-4o for OpenAI)
6. Fill in your profile — name, website, GitHub username, bio, topics of interest, and any additional context
7. Set an output folder (defaults to Muse/)

Usage

Enter writing mode via:

• Command palette — search "Muse: Enter writing mode"
• Ribbon icon — click the pencil icon in the left sidebar

A writing prompt appears at the top. Write below it. Your work is auto-saved every few seconds.

Exit by pressing Escape (or tapping Done on mobile touch).

Each session creates a new date-stamped note in your output folder (e.g., 2026-04-04.md). The prompt is preserved as a blockquote at the top of the note.

How it works

When you enter writing mode, the plugin:

1. Fetches your public GitHub repos for real project context
2. Reads recent prompts from your output folder to avoid repeats
3. Sends your profile + repo list + past prompts to your chosen AI provider to generate a blog post topic
4. Creates a new note with the prompt and opens the writing surface

API usage

Each session makes:

• 1 request to the GitHub API (public, no auth needed)
• 1 request to your chosen AI provider (uses your API key, billed to your account)

The plugin uses a 300 token max per prompt, so each session costs fractions of a cent.

Requirements

• An API key from Anthropic or OpenAI
• Obsidian 1.11.4+ (required for secret storage)
