When we organize notes through connections, the [[notes/having more connections is better|more the better]]. Fleeting Notes is a separate network of notes outside of Obsidian. The goal of this plugin sync both these networks of notes into one! Below are step-by-step instructions on how to do this.
## Installation / Setup
1. Before you begin, you'll need to create an account in the [Fleeting Notes App](https://fleetingnotes.app/). You can do this by navigating to the settings and registering.

2. Change sync type to "Two-way sync" for [[posts/imagine-google-keep-with-obsidian-sync|bi-directional sync]]
3. Adjust note template to your needs (Note: metadata is needed for sync)
