FAQs
Does Note Companion require a paid subscription?
Using the Note Companion Cloud service requires a paid subscription, which includes a 7-day free trial. However, you can use the plugin for free by bringing your own AI API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Claude) or by self-hosting the backend.
Can I use Note Companion on my mobile device?
The Note Companion Obsidian plugin is currently designed and tested for desktop only (Windows, macOS, and Linux). It is marked as desktop-only in the plugin manifest, so it will not load on mobile Obsidian apps. A separate mobile app for capture is under development but currently paused.
What AI providers does Note Companion support?
Note Companion supports a variety of AI providers, including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, and Ollama for local models. You can also configure custom base URLs for other providers, offering flexibility in how you process your data.
