Imagine Google Keep with Bi-directional Sync to Obsidian 2022-07-04 2022-07-04

Taking quick notes

Obsidian isn't great for quick notes. There's posts/put-quick-notes-into-obsidian-from-anywhere in taking quick notes especially on the mobile app. But, the plugin architecture and backlink support make Obsidian a powerful note-taking tool that's customizable to one's needs.

On the other hand, Google Keep is a great note-taking application for jotting quick notes. However, it lacks backlink support and is not nearly as customizable as Obsidian.

Each notes/use the right tool for the job, but there's a great opportunity here, and that is: quick notes with hassle-free sync to Obsidian.

Bi-directional sync with Fleeting Notes

As of 0.2.0 Fleeting Notes now supports bi-directional sync with Obsidian through the posts/sync-fleeting-notes-with-obsidian. Notes updated in Fleeting Notes will be synced to Obsidian and vice versa. To enable this functionality, go to the plugin settings and set the sync type to "Two-way sync".

Note: If you've already installed the plugin you may need to reset the note template so it contains all the metadata needed for sync.

Here's a 5 second video of me updating the plugin settings: {{< youtube c5hEU0P0NC8 >}}
