The Hub
Start the day here.
Today's focus, everything in progress, and one-click ways into the rest — new project, capture, calendar, journal.
Prismathic · Free Obsidian plugin
Your notes already hold the work. Bring it into view.
A hub, connected project dashboards, collections and a journal over the Markdown you already have. No new app. No migration.

The views
A view for the moment you're in.
Open the work where it makes sense. Every view comes back to the same notes.
Capture & Inbox
Catch it now. Decide later.
Capture from anywhere. Everything lands in the Inbox until you choose what it becomes — with its source kept.
Project dashboard
Every project in one place.
The brief, the stages, a note to your future self, and every task — so you pick up exactly where you left off.
PRISM lens
Change the lens.
Pick one of the five PRISM lenses — here, Manifest — and the project shows what moves it toward finished work.
Collections
Your library, with covers.
Books, films and tutorials as a board, sorted by where you are with them.
Prismathic view
Typed controls on the note.
Ratings, dates, statuses and links edited through proper controls — then straight back to writing.
Journal
Meet the day.
Mood, focus, habits and a running top-of-mind list — one tidy note per day.
Calendar
The week, laid out.
Anything with a date appears here. Step back and forward a week at a time.
Agenda & Focus
Then do the next thing.
The week ahead with overdue work flagged, and a focus timer right beside it.
Areas
The parts of life you tend.
Craft, Mind, Body, Home — each with its own dashboard, habits, streaks and resources.
Area charts
See where the time goes.
Learning progress, work status and notes by type, drawn from your own notes.
Zettelkasten
Ideas that grow.
Fleeting thoughts become literature notes, then permanent ideas you can build on.
Prism Wheel
Everything, one gesture away.
A radial menu over whatever you're working on — capture, search, jump to today, switch view.
Light & dark
It follows your theme.
Paper light or deep dark, one click. Prismathic looks like your Obsidian, not mine.
How it's built
Obsidian underneath. Your conventions on top.
Prismathic reads ordinary frontmatter. Project links, note types, dates, folders and status names are all configurable — it bends to your vault, not the other way round.
- Uses Obsidian's own editor, file manager and storage instead of rebuilding them
- Inherits your theme — it looks like your Obsidian, not mine
- No telemetry and nothing uploaded. Connected services, like Google Calendar, are opt-in
PRISM
Five lenses. One project.
Optional ways to look at the same work. Choosing a lens moves nothing — it changes what comes forward.
Pursue
Where might you find something worth pursuing?
Record
What should you keep before it disappears?
Inspect
What does this material tell you?
Synthesize
What direction is emerging from these pieces?
Manifest
What moves this toward finished work?
Free, always
Prismathic
The plugin on its own. Point it at the vault you already have and it works over your notes as they are.
- Hub, collections and project dashboards
- PRISM working lenses
- Journal, agenda and focus timer

Polymath Vault
The whole system Prismathic was built to drive — structure, templates, libraries and guides, already wired together.
A few good questions
Before you install.
Is it really free?
Yes, and it'll stay that way. It belongs in the Obsidian community store, and charging for it would only make it harder to find. Polymath Vault is the paid part — the prepared system around it.
Does it work with the vault I already have?
That's what it's for. It reads ordinary frontmatter, and the names it looks for — note types, project links, statuses — are configurable to match your own conventions.
When can I install it?
It's in development and being prepared for the Obsidian community store. Join the list and you'll hear the day it lands.
Does it work on mobile?
Not verified yet. Tested device support will be listed before release.
What if I uninstall it?
Your notes are untouched. Prismathic reads and writes ordinary note properties, so everything it helped you record stays in the files.
