Any way to integrate Grammarly as plugin?

An attempt has already been made here: GitHub - denisoed/obsidian-orthography: The Obsidian plugin for checking grammar and correcting spelling errors in text.

Looks like development stalled, but it could be a good learning opportunity.

Hi all,

I took a stab at it because I’d really like Grammarly support for my own studies. I am new to TypeScript, so it is what it is. PR’s are welcome, and I’ll keep developing it.

Hello! Just wanted to say I am going to give your plugin a try tonight! Please keep up the excellent work!

I tried your integration a few days ago and really liked it. Very simple to set up and looking forward to it developing into a listed community plugin. I’m new to Obsidian too. I actually only started using it because I found your project. Only took me a few minutes because of your great readme.


Also, while I’m here… I wanted to mention two quick things: 1) the sdk is no longer in early access (public), and 2) if anyone has feedback or issues integrating it, feel free to message me or head to our GH repo. Don’t want to clutter the convo here, but happy to try and help any way I can.

Disclosure: On the Grammarly team.

This is great, very helpful and should be marked as the go-to response/answer in OP. Thanks for implementing @simonpacis and look forward to updates whenever you get the time. Only suggestion would be some commands that can bind to hotkeys which we can use to accept/reject the Grammarly suggestions.

Hope to see this as a part of the community plugin, so it’s easier to install. For those who aren’t familiar, you’ll have to download and install in the obsidian/plugin folder directly.

Keep developing. Kudos.

Good to see someone from Grammarly interested in developing this plugin.

Just feedback, besides the community plugin ease of installation, I noticed that some times the pop over does not show up all the time when we hover a word. Im not sure if its my theme. but just fyi.

Hmm… I’ll try and do some testing on it to see if I encounter that issue, and I’ll report back if I find it. In the meantime, I’ll try and scan @simonpacis’s repo too for issues specific to the Grammarly integration.

@simonpacis,
It’s working on my computer. This is a great improvement to my work.

Thank you!

@simonpacis - what a pleasure your integration is - really excited to see where this goes!

Great addition to Obsidian and an added value for Grammarly. Thank you!@

woohoo! thank you!
The installation is fairly easy if you know how to get to your vault’s plugin folder.
I almost cannot believe how well it integrates with Obsidian. It even follows dark mode!

Not close
Esp if you’re comparing to MS Word add-in

I use the Grammarly Desktop, which is not fully integrated into Obsidian but works like a charm:

The best thing, it works essentially on any app you want.

I also have Grammarly desktop, but it doesn’t seem to work in Obsidian. @sspaeti did you need to do anything special? or did it work ‘out of the box’?

That’s awesome! Thank you so much!

I’m also curious to know how you got this to work since I’m also using Grammarly Desktop and Obisidan but can’t get Grammarly to integrate.

Is it a platform thing? I’m on Windows. Maybe the MacOS desktop tools are more integrated with eachother?

I’m on a Mac, indeed. I don’t recall to have done something specific to work. And I’m always in the “Editing View” with “Live Preview”, just in case that makes any difference.
