We just shipped Obsidian export — here’s how to move your notes over in 30 seconds

Hey builders 👋

We just added Obsidian export to Browser Notes, and wanted to share what’s new + the fastest way to use it.

What’s new

You can now export text notes as Obsidian-ready markdown:

• Single note → Download for Obsidian (one .md file)

• All notes → Export to Obsidian (ZIP) from the backup menu

Each note includes YAML frontmatter (title, created, modified) and keeps images inline, so you only need one file — no attachment folders to mess with.

How to import into Obsidian

1. In Browser Notes, open a note → Download → Download for Obsidian

2. Find the .md file in your Downloads

3. Open Obsidian

4. Drag the file into the left sidebar (file list)

That’s it — the note shows up in your vault immediately.

For multiple notes: use Export to Obsidian (ZIP) → unzip → drag the .md files into Obsidian the same way.

Why we built this

A lot of people use Browser Notes for quick local writing, then want a longer-term home in Obsidian. This makes that handoff painless — no retyping, no messy image folders.

Would love feedback:

• Is single-file export (with inline images) the right default for you?

• Anything else you’d want in the Obsidian export (tags, wikilinks, folders, etc.)?
