basalt is a TUI that lets you manage Obsidian vaults and notes in the terminal.   Key features include markdown rendering with inline images, a side panel for note selection within a vault, persisting scroll position and a bottom information bar displaying the current mode (Select, Normal, Insert) along with word and character statistics. Users can navigate using keyboard shortcuts, access a help modal, and toggle vault selection screens.   For those who frequently use tmux with other tools, is used to terminal note taking, and for anyone who wants to use Obsidian in the CLI without context switching would find basalt useful. It is ideal for journaling, documentation or brainstorming with minimal memory usage.

Roberto Selbach "vibecodes" subscription apps into free weekend projects using AI: Jabber replaces Wispr Flow dictation, Reel mirrors Loom screen recording/trimming, Hugora edits Hugo blogs with theme preview. Never wrote Swift/macOS apps before. Predicts standalone apps become bundled features. Skeptical for production but ideal personal tools. Shift: apps on-demand via AI.

This workflow actually organized my messy Obsidian vault.

Local LLM organizes messy Obsidian vault: AI Tagger Universe (Gemma3 via LM Studio) analyzes notes, applies predefined tags from list. Auto Note Mover files by tag/title rules into folders. Process: backup, generate vault tags, auto-move. Handles specific folders/notes. Keeps tidy hands-off; focus capturing ideas.

Small plugins, massive brainpower boost.

Note

Obsidian smarter via Templater (dynamics), Auto Note Mover (filing), Tag Wrangler (taxonomy). Folderless capture-to-organize flow.
