Write your manuscript

Obsidian %%…%% comments are excluded from character counts and REVISION analysis. Copy excludes comments by default; turn on Comments in the export content controls to include them.

• Use a shared writing toolbar in Markdown and the desktop-only paged view.
• Adjust fonts, spacing, paragraphs, and text color. Work with focus mode, typewriter scrolling, smart quotes, and text replacements.
• Check character counts, copy your text, and export to TXT, DOCX or HWPX from a document-selection and formatting preview dialog. Windows and macOS generation and HWPX template formatting work without Python, Word or Hancom Hangul.

Export documents

Select and reorder manuscripts in a TXT, DOCX, or HWPX preview, then save them separately or merge them into one document. Adjust text, paragraph, and page settings, and apply presets or HWPX template formatting.

The document list uses the Bases core plugin, available in Obsidian 1.10 or later.

Plan your story

Organize plots, characters, foreshadowing, and checklists in project workbooks.

• Manage sheets, rows, columns, subrows, statuses, labels, and cell formatting.
• View and edit the selected row or column as cards in the sidebar.
• Search, paste multiple cells, undo changes, and export to Markdown.
• Type [[internal links]] in cells and the sidebar to get note suggestions, then follow links to their sources.

Deus AI

Ask questions using your project's manuscripts, character notes, and plots.

• Research: Look up relationships, chapter events, and character histories. Follow citations back to the source.
• References: Add notes with @ and manage included material from the + menu.
• Character dialogue: Use /character to try a conversation for the current scene or a situation you describe.
• Conversations: Search, pin, branch, and export project sessions.

Choose Gemini, Claude Code (CLI), or Codex (CLI) in the model selector. Gemini requires an API key. CLI models use an installed, authenticated desktop CLI. Selecting a CLI opens the model catalog and supported effort levels reported by the installed tool. You can also choose its model, effort, and executable path in Deus settings; a blank path uses automatic executable discovery. All providers share the same project context, retrieval, and citation handling. Citations open in the current tab by default; you can choose a new tab in settings.

Review and restore

• Analyze sentence and paragraph lengths, dialogue proportions, and Korean repeated expressions in a manuscript or an entire project.
• Compare manuscript snapshots and restore the full text or selected changes.
• Transfer plot workbooks between devices with Markdown snapshots and restore them manually.

Character wiki

Keep character profiles, images, and properties together, and explore connections in a relationship graph.

Writing dashboard

Track tasks, schedules, character counts, writing time, goals, and timers. Includes character counting for Munpia and Novelpia, plus playback of audio stored in your vault.

Mobile tools

Look up Korean words, review spelling corrections, and insert symbols with layouts that fit the screen and keyboard. Choose mobile fonts separately from desktop; downloaded fonts remain available offline.

Dictionary and Hanja	Spell checking	Special characters

Install and get started

1. Download the writing-menu-*.zip asset from the latest release.
2. Extract the ZIP and copy the complete writing-menu folder into .obsidian/plugins/ in your vault.
3. Enable Writing Menu in Obsidian's Community Plugins settings. Keep your existing data.json when updating.
4. Register your project and manuscript/character folders in the plugin settings. Add API keys for the dictionary and Gemini services you use. For CLI models, first sign in from a terminal with claude auth login or codex login.

Assign shortcuts under Obsidian Settings → Hotkeys → Writing Menu.

Interface language

Writing Menu follows Obsidian's language setting: Korean uses the Korean interface; English and other languages use English. Restart Obsidian after changing the app language. Existing notes, project names, custom labels, and statistics metadata keys are preserved. Dictionary, Hanja, spell checking, and morphology analysis remain Korean-language tools.

External services and license

Download the Document engine once in the export settings to enable HWPX previews. Pinned kordoc and its required libraries are downloaded from the npm registry, checked against integrity hashes, and stored in the plugin's kordoc-assets folder. A persistent worker inside Obsidian reuses the engine offline. No separate Node.js/npm installation or executable-path setup is required, and manuscripts are not uploaded. kordoc sources are not bundled in the plugin distribution.

Deus AI sends your conversation and reference material to the selected model provider through the Gemini API or an installed CLI. Dictionary and spell-checking tools use their respective services. Mobile fonts and optional analysis assets are downloaded on request and stored locally. Spell checking uses unofficial endpoints; follow the provider's terms.

Screenshots show demo and test projects. The Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice examples use the public-domain English text. AI conversations and dictionary/spelling results are illustrative. Mobile images show responsive layout previews.
