The Local GPT plugin for Obsidian is a game-changer for those seeking maximum privacy and offline access to AI-assisted writing. With this plugin, you can open a context menu on selected text to pick an action from various AI providers, including Ollama and OpenAI-compatible servers. The plugin also allows you to use context from links, backlinks, and even PDF files, making it incredibly versatile.

The Private Mode plugin enhances privacy within Obsidian by allowing users to blur out any content tagged with #private. This helps keep sensitive information hidden by default, whether you’re sharing your screen or simply want an extra layer of discretion. The plugin offers three visibility modes: always reveal, reveal on hover, and reveal only when editing. Users can toggle these modes via commands or through a status bar indicator, which also provides screen-sharing visibility cues.
