“I currently try to note what I can typed on iPad into obsidian diluting meetings but sometimes I’m being shown around the site and have to use my Logitech crayon and Freeform to write as I can do that a bit faster then I later side by side that with obsidian to turn it into something useful.”
“Since the whole vault has indexed learning material (HybridRAG) you can also easily crossreference it to other material in your vault (Semantic search would be sufficient for smaller sizes I guess)”
“You may well use e.g. embeddings to semantically search through your notes, and there are only gains in that.Having an AI write notes for you is however of course completely pointless.”
“How about a plugin that filters the community plugins page? Adding filters such as created, last updated, verified by the official obsidian team, fuzzy search, etc etc.”
“Your Samsung Galaxy Watch / Health data will sync from Health Connect up to your Google Health account, allowing the Obsidian plugin to automatically fetch your biometrics into your daily notes and charts.”
“Obsidian just made switching from your old note-taking app a LOT easier. There’s an official Importer plugin that can convert your notes into plain Markdown files and bring them straight into your Obsidian vault.”
“Exactly, I have also been importing my files from onenote to obsidian and would love this feature in obsidian rather than switching between them (since this is a feature I literally use on a day to day basis) and it would save a lot of time”
“For syncing I ended up going with Obsidian Sync because live sync was super important to me and the free options do not supper live sync and it created to many barriers”
“oh, and I've made Obsidian plugin too to backlink back to apple notes from Obsidian copy [https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/notes-exporter](https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/notes-exporter)”
“The whole handwriting + code block thing in one Obsidian file is kind of a pain, not gonna lie. The app doesn't handle mixed input super smoothly on its own, you'd be using the Excalidraw plugin to scribble and then embedding that drawing into a note, which feels clunky if you're trying to keep up with a lecture.”
“The last month importer had some serious development by kepano. At last they took the importer issue seriously. It's very important to increase the adoption of obsidian.”
“Oh, sorry my bad, Siri and google do not have native interaction with obsidian,so every note being taken is saved in the default app , hence the third option.”
“The issue is for drawing, obsidian requires a plugin which removes me from being only local! and its such a basic aspect of note taking, why did they not make it a default and rather we've got to give access to third party who could see the notes...”
“I usually engage autopilot, then recline in the back seat with a warm rug and pillow with my VR headset on and ask my AI assistant to scan my thoughts and document them in Obsidian.”
“Worth knowing before you migrate though: Zotero's reader is built on PDF.js too, same as Obsidian's, so if a particular file is what's choking, moving it there won't necessarily fix it. Zotero's still a good call for other reasons, just not that one.”
“I use the voice memos function built into the iphone. Siri can start recording. I use the transcribe section to get the text (and use the audio to correct the transcription when needed) and paste it into Obsidian.”
“Honestly, just use your voice recorder and dump the audio files into Vibe, or any other open-source transcription software and then dump into Obsidian. Maybe even (i hate to say it) vibe code a simple script that takes the transcripts, save them in as .md files and drop them into a folder to review later.”
“I have my old laptop running 24/7 with many Claude code instances open and Obsidian open with sync. Whenever I want to capture something quickly, I can just open up a remote Claude code chat and use voice to text to capture what want to capture.”
