What's new

  • Snippet preview: see the best-matching sentence from each note directly in the inline suggest popup and Related Notes panel
  • Uses a 1-bit quantized sentence index (32× smaller than Float32) — same storage footprint as the existing note index
  • Three independent toggles: enable snippets (requires re-index), show in popup, show in panel
  • When disabled: zero performance overhead, existing index unchanged

What it does

Suggests [[note links]] as you type — combining instant lexical matching
with semantic search from a local embedding model. A sidebar panel shows
the most related notes for whatever you have open.

Requirements

  • Ollama with ollama pull bge-m3, or
  • LM Studio with any embedding model loaded, or
  • An OpenAI API key (set in plugin settings)

Install

Download the three files below, place them in
.obsidian/plugins/semantic-backlinks/ and enable the plugin.
Or use BRATBrightwav3/semantic-backlinks.

Features

  • Inline popup with lexical + semantic results while you type
  • Related Notes sidebar panel
  • Chunked indexing — long notes aren't truncated
  • Binary embedding storage (~7× smaller than JSON)
  • Auto-reindex after edits, live progress on first run
  • Excluded folders, adjustable thresholds, mobile via Tailscale
  • All note content stays on your device (unless you choose OpenAI)
