Seven reasons
Stop losing your best AI answers.
Keep your AI work where your notes already live: your Obsidian vault, as plain Markdown.

1. Chats in a browser tab get lost.
SystemSculpt saves every chat as a Markdown note in your vault. Last month’s answer is one search away.
2. Copy-pasting notes into ChatGPT is slow.
Attach notes and files to a question, or let the AI read the vault itself. It works where your notes are.
3. You already pay for Claude or ChatGPT.
On desktop, chat runs on the Claude Code or Codex you’re signed in to. No API key, no second subscription. Phones and tablets use our hosted AI.
Free to install. No card.
Bring your own Claude Code or Codex, or try hosted AI on starter credits.
4. AI that edits your notes needs a brake.
In Ask before edits, every change waits with its diff. Enter approves, Esc denies. Or switch to Auto and let it run.
5. Keyword search misses what you meant.
Semantic search finds notes by what they mean, not the exact words you remember.
6. Meeting notes never get written.
Record a call or drop in audio. You get a brief with the outcome, decisions and timestamps, saved as a note.
7. Leaving an app shouldn’t cost you your notes.
Everything is plain Markdown in a folder you own. Cancel or uninstall and keep all of it.
- Plain Markdown
- Every chat and brief is a .md file.

Questions
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. 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.
In your Obsidian vault, a folder of Markdown files on your computer. SystemSculpt saves every chat there as a note, and if you cancel, you keep all of it. AI sees only what you send it or let it read: hosted AI goes through SystemSculpt and its model providers, and Claude Code and Codex use your own accounts.
Yes. SystemSculpt works in Obsidian on phones and tablets, where chat uses SystemSculpt's hosted AI; Claude Code and Codex run on desktop. An iPhone app that captures notes and voice into your vault is coming soon.
