Muse

A distraction-free writing plugin for Obsidian that generates personalized blog post topics using AI. Enter writing mode, get a prompt based on your actual projects and interests, and start writing.

Features

  • Full-screen writing mode — hides all Obsidian UI, leaving just your prompt and a clean writing surface
  • Personalized prompts — pulls your real GitHub repositories and combines them with your profile to suggest specific, concrete blog post topics
  • No repeats — remembers your recent prompts and asks for something different each time
  • Multi-provider — works with Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT), your choice
  • Works on mobile — designed for desktop and mobile Obsidian, including Android with physical keyboards

Setup

  1. Install the plugin and enable it
  2. Open Settings > Muse
  3. Choose your AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI)
  4. Enter your API key (Anthropic or OpenAI)
  5. Optionally set a model override (defaults to Claude Sonnet for Anthropic, GPT-4o for OpenAI)
  6. Fill in your profile — name, website, GitHub username, bio, topics of interest, and any additional context
  7. Set an output folder (defaults to Muse/)

Usage

Enter writing mode via:

  • Command palette — search "Muse: Enter writing mode"
  • Ribbon icon — click the pencil icon in the left sidebar

A writing prompt appears at the top. Write below it. Your work is auto-saved every few seconds.

Exit by pressing Escape (or tapping Done on mobile touch).

Each session creates a new date-stamped note in your output folder (e.g., 2026-04-04.md). The prompt is preserved as a blockquote at the top of the note.

How it works

When you enter writing mode, the plugin:

  1. Fetches your public GitHub repos for real project context
  2. Reads recent prompts from your output folder to avoid repeats
  3. Sends your profile + repo list + past prompts to your chosen AI provider to generate a blog post topic
  4. Creates a new note with the prompt and opens the writing surface

API usage

Each session makes:

  • 1 request to the GitHub API (public, no auth needed)
  • 1 request to your chosen AI provider (uses your API key, billed to your account)

The plugin uses a 300 token max per prompt, so each session costs fractions of a cent.
