Version 1.0 beta · public proof of concept
Compose freely. Develop deliberately.
An observatory
for your story.
Open the views you need beside the manuscript—compose, trace movement, compare lenses, and inspect grounded observations without leaving Obsidian.
ObservaStory does not write, grade, or decide what your story should be.
Closed Session
The rain had already found the weak seam above the council-room window.
Mara set the copied ledger beside the original and waited for someone to notice.
“The numbers moved before the vote.”

02Views in concertCompose, arrange, compare, and inspect in the same working environment.
03Author-directedEvidence supports your next decision; it never makes it for you.
A natural development rhythm
Compose → Observe → Explore → Develop
Move between making and understanding without interrupting the work.
- 01
Compose
Write freely. Keep early fragments loose.
- 02
Observe
Refresh grounded findings when a current reading is useful.
- 03
Explore
Choose the workspace and lens that fit your question.
- 04
Develop
Revise intentionally, with judgment still yours.
Purposeful workspaces
Open one view—or let several work together.
Keep the manuscript in view while Storyboard, Scene Profile, continuity, chronology, or a selected lens answers the question at hand.
Arrange & move
Storyboard
Arrange scenes and chapters while exploring movement, links, and point of view.
Explore Storyboard →Focus & develop
Scene Development Map
Read one scene through Craft, Story Movement, Information Flow, and Trajectories.
See the lenses →Scan & inspect
Scene Profile
Scan compact scores, then reveal a metric’s full rationale only when useful.
Open the profile →Trace & verify
Truth Ledger
Examine authored claims, inferred support, occurrences, conflicts, and evidence.
Trace authored truth →Compare & orient
Comparative lenses
See trajectories, metric patterns, goals, voice, and processing freshness.
Compare the work →An instrument, not an author
It helps you see the story. It does not write it for you.
Your prose remains yours.
ObservaStory does not silently rewrite scenes, manufacture canon, or turn observations into automatic edits.
Several views, one developing work.
Arrange scenes, inspect a profile, compare a lens, and keep composing in the workspace beside them.
Evidence is not a verdict.
Observations use your manuscript, meanings, and goals. You decide what matters and what happens next.
Truth stays authored
Evidence you can inspect—not an oracle.
Equivalent claims can consolidate while every source remains visible. Inferred support stays clearly lower in authority.
Explore the Truth Ledger1.0 beta
A working proof of concept.
Explore the current model in an example Obsidian vault with a locally configured model and manual desktop setup.
Start safelyUse the example project or a disposable copy. Keep a backup.
Current scopeSource-based, desktop-focused, and still experimental.
Clear limitsNo promise of community-directory installation, hosted inference, sync, collaboration, or production stability.
Common questions
Grounded support, clear boundaries.
Does ObservaStory grade my manuscript?
No. Evaluation refreshes observations grounded in author-defined meaning and bounded evidence. They are not universal quality grades.
Does it rewrite my prose?
Evaluation does not rewrite authored prose. Explicit content-management actions preview their impact and preserve a Cancel path.
Where does manuscript processing happen?
The proof of concept is designed around a locally configured model. Privacy still depends on your complete Obsidian, model, backup, and sync configuration.
