Importing to Archive from Obsidian

Hi! I'm really thrilled to share that I just bought my first Macbook - 70% of the reason was so that I could use the Archive. Wanted to know what are the onboarding steps, what kind of tips and tricks you have been using to maximize experience, and most importantly how I can import my notes from Obsidian to Archive.

Would love to know anything else you can share to help me start my note taking journey on the Archive :smiley:

  • There is no importing needed! Just point The Archive at the same directory your obsidian notes are stored in. Assuming you have a single directory with no subdirectories, it should just work (I use both The Archive and Obsidian on the same files all the time).

    I recommend pairing The Archive and your MAC experience with Keyboard Maestro. Keyboard Maestro will fill in your custom workflow.

    My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

    How do I point the archive to the directory? Please dumb it down for me [click this, then select this].

  • First, run The Archive.
    Then...

    Select your notes directory.
