Branch Writing
Obsidian Plugin
Write the way you think.
Nothing else brings this style of visual writing directly into Obsidian without slowing you down.
@JawnLamWrite & structure
At the same time
Move ideas freely
Nothing breaks
100% Obsidian
No imports or exports
This is the kind of writing workflow that I've wanted inside Obsidian for years. After finally building something really powerful, I'm excited to share it with you.
Visual notes, without breaking writing
See your thinking
You write in small pieces so you can see your ideas visually as you write them.
No more manual reorganizing
No more rewriting bullet points back into paragraphs or constantly rearranging text by hand.
Structure as you go
You're not outlining first and writing later. You create structure while you write.
As ideas form, structure forms with them.
Write and structure at the same time
No more friction
Most tools separate outlining and writing into two different modes. That separation is what creates friction.
One seamless workflow
With Branch Writing, both happen at the same time in the same space. You're not switching your brain between outline mode and writing mode. You're just writing.
Built for visual thinkers
For anyone who struggles to think in linear paragraphs
Writers
Write in small blocks and let structure form as you go. Rearrange ideas freely without breaking your flow or rewriting later.
Content creators
Plan scripts and outlines visually while writing. Move sections and talking points instantly without copy and paste chaos.
Researchers and students
Develop arguments and organize notes as ideas evolve. See relationships between thoughts while keeping everything inside one document.
Safe to move ideas around
Flexible restructuring
When structure and writing are separate, reorganizing text becomes messy fast. With Branch Writing, you can change the structure freely while you continue to write.
Instant repositioning
You drag ideas around when you need to. You use shortcuts to reposition them instantly.
Nothing breaks.
@AndrewHeskettEverything stays inside Obsidian
Native workflow
This workflow lives entirely inside Obsidian. There is no exporting. There is no importing.
Ready to share
When you're done writing, everything is already organized as normal paragraphs and ready to share. You wrote it all in one visual structure, in one place.
Built to fit how you think
Purpose-built for Obsidian
This is inspired by existing visual writing systems, but Branch Writing was built specifically to fit how you work inside Obsidian.
Writing-first thinking
It is not a mind map. It is not a canvas replacement.
It is a writing-first way to think on the page.
