AI Journal Coach — a plugin that reads your journal entries and finds patterns
I’ve been journaling in Obsidian for a while. The problem was never writing the entries. It was that I’d close the note and move on, and nothing would stick. I had no idea what was repeating week after week until I went back and read months of entries by hand.
So I built a plugin that does that reading for me.
How it works
It takes your recent journal notes and runs them through your own LLM provider. Your notes go directly to your provider and nowhere else.
Four analysis modes:
- Weekly Reflection: themes, wins, challenges, one question to sit with
- Pattern Detection: recurring themes and behavioral loops
- Mood Tracker: emotional tone, shifts, triggers across entries
- Growth Insights: how you’ve changed, what your entries say about your values
Results render as markdown inside a modal and can be saved directly to your vault.
Supported providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including OpenRouter.
Would love to hear how others approach journaling in Obsidian, and whether these analysis modes match how you actually use your entries.
