Literature Review Synthesizer
Synthesize academic notes into lit reviews with your LLM
PhD students read 50 to 200 papers for a single review. Notes in Obsidian? Fine. The synthesis part, where you actually figure out what the field is saying, takes weeks of manual work. This plugin handles it inside your vault, using your own API key. Nothing leaves your machine. No server, no account. Pick a folder of notes, run a synthesis, get a structured note back with frontmatter and backlinks.
Hey everyone! I built this because I was stuck in the same place every PhD student knows well — 80 papers read, notes everywhere in Obsidian, and then weeks of staring at them trying to figure out what they all mean together.
Every tool I found either lived outside my vault or wanted me to upload my notes somewhere. Neither felt right.
So I built Literature Review Synthesizer. You select a folder of reading notes, pick a synthesis mode (thematic synthesis, gap analysis, methodological comparison, or a full draft section), and it writes the output back into your vault as a new note. Your API key, your LLM, your machine. Nothing leaves.
Free tier lets you try it with 3 syntheses per month. Pro is a one-time $19.99.
Would love to hear from anyone doing systematic reviews or dissertations — happy to answer questions and very open to feedback on the output quality.
