Vaultend — User Guide

Focus on writing. Let AI handle the organization.

Vaultend is an AI-powered vault maintenance plugin for Obsidian. It classifies, tags, links, and organizes your notes automatically — with full privacy control and undo safety.

Getting Started

1. Install the Plugin

Choose one of these methods:

Method Steps
Community Plugins Settings → Community Plugins → Browse → Search "Vaultend" → Install → Enable
BRAT (Beta) Install BRAT → Add Beta Plugin → Enter dhwang0803-glitch/Vaultend
Manual Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from Releases → Copy to .obsidian/plugins/vaultend/

2. Configure AI Provider

  1. Go to Settings → Community Plugins → Vaultend
  2. Under AI Provider, select your provider:
    • OpenAI — requires API key, full feature support including embeddings
    • Google Gemini — requires API key, full feature support including embeddings
    • Ollama (Local) — runs locally, no API key needed (install embedding model for full features)
    • Custom — any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  3. Enter your API Key (not needed for Ollama)
  4. Select a Model from the dropdown or enter a custom model ID

3. Try It Out

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and run Organize Current Note. The AI will analyze your note and suggest tags, links, and a folder — all reviewable before applying.

Features at a Glance

Feature What it does AI Required
Organize Note Classify, tag, and link a single note Yes
Organize Folder Batch-organize all notes in a folder Yes
Organize Tags Find and merge duplicate/similar tags Yes
Vault Maintenance Detect orphans, broken links, duplicates, empty notes Partial
Activity Log Track all actions with full undo/restore No
Privacy Rules Control what data is sent to AI No

"Partial" means structural detection (orphans, broken links, empty notes) works offline. Only missing-tag suggestions require AI.

Commands

All commands are accessible via Ctrl/Cmd + P (Command Palette).

Command Description
Organize Current Note Classify and tag the active note
Organize Folder Select a folder and batch-organize its notes
Organize Tags Find and merge duplicate tags across the vault
Run Maintenance Scan entire vault for structural issues
Open Maintenance Log Show the activity log sidebar

Context menu commands (right-click a folder):

  • Organize Folder — batch-organize that folder
  • Scan this folder for maintenance — maintenance scan for that folder only

Cost Transparency

Every AI feature shows token usage and estimated cost after each call. No hidden spending — you always know what you're paying for.

Feature Where cost is shown
Organize Note Bottom of the result modal
Organize Folder Per-note in the result panel
Organize Tags After scan completion
