LLM Session Launcher

Launch LLM sessions (Claude Code, etc.) in an external terminal directly from Obsidian.

Features

• One-Click Launch: Start LLM sessions from the ribbon icon or command palette
• Directory Selection: Launch from the current file's directory or specify a custom path
• External Terminal Integration: Opens sessions in Terminal.app (macOS)
• Session Management: Focus existing sessions instead of creating duplicates

Platform Support

macOS only - This plugin uses AppleScript to interact with Terminal.app.

Note: This plugin launches an external terminal application (Terminal.app on macOS) to start LLM sessions. It does not access files outside the vault, but it does interact with external applications.
