The Obsidian Random Retrieval Plugin is perfect for anyone who loves rediscovering forgotten ideas tucked away in their notes. Exclusively available on macOS for now, this plugin combines the thrill of a random note feature with the precision of a smart retrieval tool. Instead of pulling up a completely random note, the plugin uses a local language model to suggest notes that feel relevant but still have that "hidden gem" allure. It’s like a guided treasure hunt in your vault—ideal for sparking new ideas or connecting old ones. By default, the plugin opens three relevant notes, and you can adjust the settings to match your discovery style. Simply activate the plugin, keep the terminal window open, and enjoy a fresh way to explore your notes!

The Daily Random Note plugin for Obsidian is a great tool for revisiting your past notes in a fun and productive way. It allows you to configure "Random Instances" that pull random files from specific folders or filtered by tags. You can set the plugin to display a random note at a set time each day, helping you revisit old ideas or refresh your memory without actively searching for them. If you don’t want the daily feature, you can easily trigger the plugin at any time via the ribbon icon. This is perfect for people who want to get more out of their note-taking by re-engaging with their old content in a non-intrusive way.
