Hunspell Spellchecker for Obsidian

MIT License

A high-performance, offline spellchecker for Obsidian using standard Hunspell .aff and .dic dictionary pairs. This plugin provides advanced control over multiple languages, cross-platform stability (including Mobile support), and real-time word suggestions—without ever sending your private notes to third-party servers.

✨ Features

  • High Performance on Mobile: Specifically architected to avoid memory bloat. The spellchecking engine uses "on-the-fly" reverse affix evaluation, making it light enough to run smoothly on iOS and Android devices.
  • True Multi-Language Support: Install as many dictionaries as you need. Includes seamless integration with the Intl.DisplayNames API to show native language names.
  • 1-Click Dictionary Downloads: Browse and install languages directly from the official LibreOffice repository from within the plugin settings.
  • Quick Swap Menu: Change your active spellchecking language or quickly access settings directly from the Obsidian Status Bar at the bottom right.
  • Smart Tooltip & Context Menu: Hover over or right-click on a misspelled word to see real-time suggestions (only on desktop).
  • Personal Dictionary & Ignored Words:
    • Full control over your local dictionaries.
    • Edit your "Ignored Words" or "Custom Dictionary" directly inside Obsidian using a built-in text editor modal.

🌐 Getting Started & Adding Languages

To keep the plugin lightweight, it does not come with any languages pre-installed.

To add a language:

  1. Go to your Obsidian Settings > Hunspell Spellchecker.
  2. Scroll down to the Download Languages section and click Fetch available languages.
  3. The plugin will securely fetch the official list of languages from the open-source LibreOffice repository on GitHub.
  4. Find your desired language in the list (e.g., Portuguese (Brazil) or English (US)) and click Install.
  5. The plugin will automatically download the correct .aff and .dic files and activate the language.

You can now use the status bar menu at the bottom right to quickly swap between installed languages!
