Author Uses 3GB LocalRAG! Model to Fix Obsidian Note Chaos on Mobile

Summary
A 3GB on-device model in LocalRAG! let the author index an Obsidian vault on a phone and recover three notes about the same book setting written over a year.
That solved a gap Obsidian search could not: full-text search works only if the user knows what to look for, while the vault had grown into hundreds of loosely tagged, poorly linked notes.
LocalRAG! reads Markdown files directly from the device, supports 25 file formats, and performs extraction, indexing, search and answer generation offline, with tap-through citations to the source passages.
The author said the app does not auto-organize the vault; it surfaces likely connections, while links still have to be reviewed and added manually inside Obsidian.
LocalRAG! offers five free questions a day, with Standard at $4.99 a month and Pro at $9.99, while the author also pointed to open-source AnythingLLM as a free on-device alternative.
