Similar Notes

Description

The Similar Notes plugin finds and recommends notes that are semantically related to what you're currently writing, using language models for real-time analysis. It displays up to five similar notes at the bottom of your note, making it easier to spot hidden connections in your ideas without relying on exact keyword matches. The plugin is self-contained with its own vector database and gives you the choice between built in Hugging Face models or connecting to Ollama for custom embeddings. No external cloud API is needed, and it smartly ignores notes already linked from your current document.
