Obsidian Random Retrieval Plugin

Note: This feature is only supported on macOS so far.

This plugin was developped to open a random note based on local LLMs with Obsidian.

• Random for Random Note in Obsidian
• Retrieval for Retrieval Component in Haystack

I developped this plugin because .. I have a bad memory... and I enjoy the pleasure of treasure Hunt. While

• Search provides multiple way to reveal those sporadic ideas hidden in the vault,
• Random Note, as a core plugin, provides a complete random way to dig it out...

I choose LLM to be a retriver + ranker, so that this plugin can function like a fuzzy-search / half-random-note.

Installation

• at the first time

conda create --name rr-env

pip install -r requirements.txt

• and then (for the most users)

open plugin in obsidian (a terminal will be activated automatically)

click ribbon button, and enjoy the nightwalk💡

(please keep the terminal open while you run the plugin)

• and then (for the developpers)

feel free to replace rr_app.py with your models

Future Plan

• support more platform, such as: Windows, mobile device
• multi-language support
• speed up
