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.
