This lets you talk to local LLMs in Apple Notes. I saw Obsidian Ollama (https://github.com/hinterdupfinger/obsidian-ollama) and thought it was handy, but I'm too lazy to migrate away from the Apple ecosystem, so I quickly hacked this together. I tend to use Notes as a scratchpad for prompts, so it's nice to do some quick inference without leaving the app. Notes doesn't really support plugins so I'm using the macOS accessibility API for reading selections and then stream responses using the clipboard (not ideal but it works).

Embedding model, LLM, vector db and files are all run or stored locally. 4. Point it to a directory of markdown files (like an Obsidian vault) and it works seamlessly alongside Obsidian.

Hi HN, I built Note API Connector, a tool that lets you import and sync data from any API into Notion with just a few clicks. It's useful for building live dashboards, tracking metrics, syncing CRM data, and managing structured content inside Notion. It’s the result of several months of building, testing, and writing tutorials to make it beginner-friendly. I’d love your feedback, especially on what features or improvements you'd like to see next.
