- Product
- SystemSculpt is an AI plugin for Obsidian.
- For
- People who keep notes in Obsidian and want AI to work with their vault.
- Free start
- SystemSculpt is free to install. Chat with your installed, signed-in Claude Code or Codex on desktop needs no SystemSculpt account or plan. Those services keep their own accounts and usage. Eligible new accounts can claim 500 one-time starter credits for hosted AI, with no card required. The existing connection flow handles eligibility and email verification.
- AI choices
- Your installed, signed-in Claude Code or Codex on desktop, or SystemSculpt AI on desktop and mobile.
- Paid access
- Monthly costs $9 USD per month. Yearly costs $90 USD per year. Both unlock the same Pro access on a 5-device personal license and include a monthly hosted-credit allowance. Hosted work uses credits.
- Your files
- Chats and written results are saved as Markdown in your vault. Hosted operations send the content needed for the operation to the service; see the Privacy Policy. An on-computer CLI can also send content to its own AI service.
- Approvals
- New chats default to Auto, subject to preserved native preferences; saved chats retain their choices. Hosted Auto creates and edits notes without asking, and asks before moving or deleting. Claude Code and Codex use their own approval rules; requests that need approval appear in the chat.
- Hosted tools
- Semantic indexing, audio transcription, document processing, and image and video generation use SystemSculpt's hosted service and credits even when chat uses your own CLI.
- Requirements

- Source

Questions.
Yes. SystemSculpt is an Obsidian community plugin. Install Obsidian, then install and enable SystemSculpt AI in Community plugins.
SystemSculpt is free to install. Chat with your own Claude Code or Codex on desktop needs no SystemSculpt account or plan; eligible new accounts can claim 500 one-time hosted credits through sign-in, with no card required.
Yes. Auto mode can make ordinary creates and edits without asking; approval behavior depends on the backend and mode. Requests that need approval appear inside the chat, and you can choose a stricter mode before a run.
Not for SystemSculpt AI. Your own Claude Code or Codex instead uses its existing desktop sign-in; SystemSculpt does not require a second plan to use those chat backends.
Yes. In Obsidian on phones and tablets, chat uses SystemSculpt AI. Claude Code and Codex chat are desktop only.
Your vault files remain in Obsidian, and chats and written outputs are saved as Markdown. AI operations can send relevant content to the selected service; using a CLI on your computer does not mean its model runs offline.
SystemSculpt combines three chat-backend choices with hosted semantic search, audio processing and Studio workflows. Compare the capabilities you need rather than assuming one plugin fits every vault.
