Description

The Cut The Fluff plugin helps you improve your writing by highlighting filler words, clichés, and overly complex phrases that reduce clarity. It identifies common issues like weak qualifiers (e.g., 'very', 'really'), jargon, redundant expressions, and unnecessarily complicated wording. The plugin offers four built-in rule categories that can be toggled individually, and also supports custom rules and exceptions to tailor suggestions to your style. Matches can be visually marked using options like dim, strikethrough, or underline, or styled via CSS for more control.

Cut The Fluff (for Obsidian)

Screenshot

Great writing is clear and concise. Cut the Fluff helps you edit by pointing out potentially unnecessary words or complexity.

Examples:

  • Weak Qualifiers & Hedges (eg. quite, basically, very, really)
  • Clichés, jargon and metaphors (eg. move the needle, double-edged sword, at the end of the day)
  • Unnecessary complexity or clutter (eg. utilise -> use, in regard to -> about, it is interesting to note)
  • Redundancies (each and every, one and the same, final conclusion, combine together)

Privacy

All processing happens locally on your device. Your text or any other data is never sent to a remote server by this plugin.

Rules

There are 4 built-in rulesets matching the categories from the examples above which can each be enabled and disabled. You can add custom words and phrases, or add an exception for any of the built-in matches.

  • Dim
  • Strikethrough
