Vault Nexus

Vault Nexus

Finds context-related notes for the note you are writing, using your local Miyo index, and suggests links you accept or dismiss.

Nothing is ever written to a note without an explicit click.

Desktop only. Vault Nexus needs the Miyo desktop app running on the same computer, so it does not work on Obsidian mobile.

Requirements

• The Miyo desktop app, running on the same machine as Obsidian.
• Your vault must be one of the folders Miyo indexes (add it in Miyo under indexed folders).

That is the whole setup. No account, no token, no tunnel — the plugin talks to Miyo's local HTTP API on http://127.0.0.1:8742.

Installation

From the Community plugins directory

1. In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins and turn off Restricted mode if needed.
2. Select Browse, search for Vault Nexus, then select Install and Enable.

Manually (from a GitHub release)

1. Download main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the latest release.
2. Create the folder <your vault>/.obsidian/plugins/vault-nexus/ and put the three files into it.
3. Restart Obsidian, then enable Vault Nexus under Settings → Community plugins.

With BRAT (beta testing)

Install the BRAT plugin and add the repository WAABoy/vault-nexus.

What it does

• Lists the notes Miyo considers related to the current note, with a matching excerpt and a relevance score.
• Lets you open a suggestion, insert a link to it, or dismiss it for a while.
• Skips the note itself, notes you already link to, ignored folders, and pairs you dismissed.
• Undoes the last link it added, restoring the note exactly as it was.

Usage

Open the panel from the ribbon icon or the command palette, then press Refresh. The list updates only when you ask it to — it never searches in the background.

Commands

Where links go

Configurable under Linking:

• Under a "See also" heading (default) — reuses the heading if the note has one, creates it otherwise.
• At the end of the note.
• At the cursor — falls back to the end of the note if that note is not the one open in the editor.

The link itself is generated by Obsidian, so it follows your vault's own wikilink and shortest-path settings.

Settings

Privacy

By default, everything stays on your machine: the plugin only talks to Miyo on 127.0.0.1. There is no telemetry, no analytics and no account.

The plugin reads notes only inside your vault. It does not read or write files outside the vault.

Two features are opt-in and clearly marked, and both are off until you turn them on:

• Miyo Relay fallback sends your query to relay.miyo.md when the local service is unreachable. It needs a token, which is stored in this vault's plugin data folder in plain text.
• Relation rationale sends two note titles and one excerpt to the OpenAI-compatible endpoint you configure (LM Studio on 127.0.0.1:1234 by default).

The plugin is fully usable with both of them off.

Troubleshooting

"Miyo is not reachable" — the Miyo app is not running. Start it and press Retry.

No results, but Miyo has the notes — check that this vault is an indexed folder in Miyo, and that indexing has finished. Run Test Miyo connection to see the indexed file count.

Results point at the wrong notes — turn off Detect the Miyo folder automatically and set the folder prefix Miyo uses for this vault by hand.
