AI-powered journaling, multi-perspective analysis, goal generation, and reflective chat for Obsidian.

Active repository: github.com/MichelleGDyason/The_Obsidian_Deleometer_v2

License Position

This project is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.

Why AGPL-3.0:

• it keeps the plugin open source
• it prevents privatized improvements from being closed off from the community
• it requires derivative works, including hosted or networked versions, to provide source code under the same license

As copyright holder, Michelle G Dyason may choose to relicense future versions under MIT if community adoption clearly requires a more permissive license. That does not change the license of versions already released under AGPL.

What It Does

The Deleometer helps you:

• write journal entries inside Obsidian
• generate multi-perspective AI analyses from each entry
• continue a live AI chat from a specific analysis perspective
• save that chat back into the original journal analysis note
• turn analysis suggestions into editable goals
• track goals in notes and optionally sync them into the Full Calendar plugin
• review activity in an emotional intelligence dashboard

Requirements

• Obsidian 1.5.0 or later
• an OpenAI API key
• desktop Obsidian is recommended for the full workflow

Installation

Manual Install

1. Create a plugin folder in your vault: .obsidian/plugins/the-deleometer/
2. Copy these files into that folder:
   • manifest.json
   • main.js
   • styles.css
3. Restart Obsidian or reload community plugins.
4. Enable The Deleometer in Community Plugins.

2. Use Save & Analyze.
3. Review the AI analysis sections.
4. Click the perspective chat link you want to continue.
5. Save the chat back into the source journal analysis note.
6. Draft goals from the analysis.
7. Optionally sync goals and milestones into Full Calendar.

The plugin includes commands for:

• creating journal entries
