Rune Scribe for Obsidian

Rune Scribe counts English and CJK writing units for the current note, a folder, or the whole vault. It also surfaces word-frequency tables so you can study repeated terms and writing habits.

Features

• Count the active Markdown file.
• Count a folder from the file menu.
• Open a sidebar dashboard for active file, active folder, or vault statistics.
• Separate English and CJK counts while also reporting a combined total.
• Frequency tables for English words and CJK terms.
• CSV export for frequency tables.
• Configurable rules for frontmatter, code, tags, numbers, wikilinks, CJK locale, and reading speed.
• Per-file cache for faster repeated folder and vault counts.
• Markdown-aware text cleanup for frontmatter, code, links, embeds, tags, and common formatting.
