The Lookalike plugin for Obsidian identifies notes similar to the one currently being viewed by analyzing word frequencies across the vault. It provides a sidebar view listing similar notes with similarity scores, making it easier to discover related content. Users can click on any note in the list to open it directly in the editor. Future updates aim to include customizable settings such as similarity thresholds, exclusion of certain folders or words, and alternative algorithms for similarity calculations. This plugin enhances navigation and connections within your knowledge base by surfacing related notes efficiently.

The Related Notes plugin enhances knowledge discovery in your Obsidian vault by automatically surfacing contextually similar notes based on their content. Using advanced similarity algorithms, it identifies relevant connections between notes and presents them in a dedicated pane, allowing users to explore and link related concepts with a single click. It operates entirely offline, ensuring privacy while handling both small and large vaults efficiently through adaptive indexing and hybrid search methods. The plugin intelligently prioritizes frequently accessed and newly created notes for indexing and supports real-time similarity detection for others. Visual indicators and structured link insertion streamline the linking process without disrupting your note organization.
