Inscribe

Inscribe is an AI-powered inline autocompletion plugin for Obsidian. It will generate autocompletions as you type and you can accept or reject them with TAB.

Get started

1. Setup a provider

Inscribe supports following providers:

• Ollama (local)
• Gemini
• OpenAI
• OpenAI compatible

More providers will be added if requested. Or better, feel free to create PR.

2. Customize prompts

You can set both system and user prompts to guide the AI's responses. For user prompt, template variables (mustache) can be used to provide context;

• {{pre_cursor}}: text before cursor
• {{post_cursor}}: text after cursor
• {{active_sentence}}: the current sentence
• {{last_line}}: last line of the active note

3. Per-Path profile assignments (Optional)

You can create multiple profiles and assign them to specific note paths. For example, you might want a more formal profile for research notes and a more creative one for writing fiction. Corresponding profile will be automatically activated when you open a note matching the assigned path.

Tips

What provider should you use?

Given the high frequency of API calls, using Ollama is highly recommended to reduce costs and improve response times. And for Ollama models, consider using a model bigger than 8B params. For now, gemma3:12b is a good starting point.

Also, Google Gemini is a great option. It is fast and free tier is generous.

Disable completions using path config

Using per-path profile config, you can enable completions only for specific paths. This way, you can avoid annoying interruptions in notes where autocompletion isn't desired.
