📚 Main features

Academic research help

katmer-code is useful when you work with papers, notes, and source material. It helps you:

• collect ideas in one place
• draft research notes
• turn raw notes into clear text
• keep your source context nearby
• ask Claude for help without leaving Obsidian

Inline diff editing

You can review changes inside your note instead of switching between apps. This helps you:

• compare text changes
• spot edits fast
• keep control over your writing
• accept or reject changes with less effort

MCP support

katmer-code supports MCP, which lets it connect with other tools that Claude can use. This helps when you want your notes to work with outside services or local tools.

Obsidian-first workflow

The app fits into the way Obsidian users already work. You can keep your notes, links, and research in the same vault while using Claude Code for help.

🧭 First-time use

If this is your first time using the app, keep it simple:

1. Install the app from the releases page
2. Open Obsidian
3. Load your vault
4. Enable katmer-code
5. Open a note you want to work on
6. Try a small task first, such as rewriting a paragraph or asking for research help
7. Check the result before you move on

🔧 Typical workflow

A simple way to use katmer-code:

1. Open a note in Obsidian
2. Select text you want to change
3. Ask Claude to edit, expand, or clean it up
4. Review the inline diff
5. Keep the change if it looks right
6. Repeat for the next section

For research work, you can also:
