Connect your browser with your notes in Obsidian. Obsidian Web is a customizable web clipper for Obsidian with advanced features.

Image from store Obsidian Web
Description from store This is a Chrome extension for Obsidian* that allows you to more tightly integrate your browser with your notes in Obsidian. Obsidian Web makes clipping content from the web into your notes seamless, but that's just the basic part -- it also has advanced features that help you to find out when you already have notes before you take the time to add them again, and to remind you about what your thoughts were last time you were there. Features: - Templates: Configure how your content will appear in your notes by editing simple templates. Want to add information that isn't the page title, URL, or the text you've selected? You can change the content you are about to send to your notes on a case-by-case basis by clicking on the "Entry Details" dropdown from the pop-up menu. - Note Recall: Have you been to this page before? Maybe you already have notes about it? Obsidian Web can search your notes to see if you've mentioned this page before, and if so, let you open that note in Obsidian or update it with new content. - Periodic Notes: Want to append or patch your daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly notes? This gives you an "Append to current daily note" option out-of-the-box, but maybe you want to use a different interval or insert your content in a specific section of your daily note? Just modify the template and you can. Note that this requires the Obsidian Periodic Notes plugin: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=periodic-notes To get started: 1. Install this extension from the Chrome Web Store 2. Install & enable the "Local REST API" plugin from the Community Plugins section in Obsidian. 3. Click on the "Obsidian Web" icon in your toolbar and follow the instructions. To report a bug or suggest a feature, go to: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-web/discussions *Please note that the authors of this extension have no affiliation with the makers of Obsidian. Want to have a say in the future of Obsidian Web? Schedule a one-on-one call with me today by going to https://calendar.app.google/2nxkhy5yYvEddBK5A or by clicking the "Schedule a one-on-one" button from the upper-right corner of the extension options page. New in version 3.5.0: - Table Support: Tables will now be properly included in your markdown output if they were present in the page content or what you selected. Thanks @dscherdi for figuring out how to make this a reality via integrating https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown-plugin-gfm ! - No Lost Changes: If you make changes to the content of the popup modal (e.g. adding notes to the content template) and accidentally do something that would cause you to lose those changes (e.g. closing the modal or changing the preset), we'll warn you that you're about to do that, and give you the option of changing your mind. This came about because I apparently have a tendency to double-click randomly, and I lost quite a bit of work today :laugh:. New in version 3.4.0: - Adds support for connecting to Obsidian on ports other than the standard ports of 27123 and 27124; now folks who are juggling multiple vaults have better options! - Fixes a common bug that would cause Obsidian Web to erroneously decide to use a secure connection to Obsidian even when one's certificate was not properly trusted. If folks were historically seeing the green shield icon when in settings, but found that they weren't able to actually use Obsidian Web when they tried, they should now see a reasonable error message on the extension options page. New in version 3.3.0: - Adds slightly improved bug reporting information when exporting a bug report. - Adds better warning messages when your version of Obsidian Local REST API is out-of-date. - Distinguishes between local HTTP and remote HTTP connections, and only warns you to use HTTPs if your HTTP connection isn't local. New in version 3.2.0: - Do you write notes about a page and want to be reminded of them when you browse to that page again? You can now configure Obsidian Web to automatically open the extension menu and show you a notice when you navigate to a URL you've already written notes about. This is particularly useful if you need to remind yourself about why you might not want to buy a particular thing on Amazon or listen to a particular book on Audible. Read more here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-web/wiki/Automatic-Match-Display - Do you want to remind yourself of notes you have about a page *before* you click on a link to that page? Now you can configure Obsidian Web to show you when you have notes about a page just by hovering over a link to it. You can even set a custom message for it to show you when you hover over a link to that particular page, too. You can find out more about this feature here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-web/wiki/Hover-Messages New in version 3.1.0: - Added a new bug report export feature making it easier for issues to be troubleshot. You can find this via the "bug" shaped icon in the upper-right corner of the options panel. New in version 3.0.0: - A completely new Pop-Up that's a lot easier to use and understand. - It's now shown inside your page content and allows you to leave the pop-up open while you collect whatever content you want to gather from the page without needing to close and re-open the pop-up every time you realize you need to copy something from your page. You can drag the pop-up around, too, if it's in the way! - Templates are shown and rendered on-the-fly in the interface so you can better understand how your templates are used for generating your notes. - It's now launchable by a keyboard shortcut -- by default Alt+Shift+O. You can find instructions for how to change the keyboard shortcut in Options. Closing the pop-up is also doable from the keyboard now, too -- just press your Esc key. - There's now support for connecting to Obsidian instances other than the one running on localhost for those of you who are using Docker images or have Obsidian running on another machine in your network. - Extra context is provided from Readability (https://github.com/mozilla/readability) in addition to your page content. Now the title, length, excerpt, byline, etc. information that Readability extracts from the document are available as context variables. New in version 2.2.0: - Automatic Drafting: You can now open and modify the content in the pop-up menu multiple times without losing what you had previously entered. - Markdown Selections: Selection is provided as Markdown text instead of a plain-text string. - Import/Export: Settings can be exported and imported as a JSON file. New in version 2.1.0: - Note Recall (optionally-enabled) - When opening the extension pop-up, the extension will search your notes to see if you've mentioned this URL before and provide you options for opening or editing that existing note if so. - Optionally, will search your notes in the background while browsing the web and let you know (by showing a badge on the extension icon) if you've mentioned this page before or if you have a dedicated note for it without requiring you to open the extension pop-up to find out. - Improved page content snapshots. Since version 2.0.0, page content has been available via the {{page.content}} template variable -- now that content has been trimmed down to include only what matters using Readability.js. - New {{uuid}} template function allowing you to randomly generate IDs for your notes. New in version 2.0.0: - Several new template helpers are available including: - {{date}}: Displays a timestamp. Can also receive a second argument for declaring format. - {{filename FIELD}}: Removes filename-unsafe characters from FIELD. Useful when creating a new document from, for example, a page title. - {{json FIELD}}: JSON-encodes the string in FIELD. Useful for including arbitrary page details in YAML frontmatter. - {{quote FIELD}}: Prefixes every line of FIELD with a '>' so as to display it as a blockquote in your notes. - Handlebars is now used as the template language, allowing for much-more-complex template logic. - Page content (as markdown) is available for use in your templates. - A new 'Capture page snapshot' default template exists that will capture as a markdown document and save it into your notes. - A new 'Restore default templates' button allowing you to restore the original default templates should you have accidentally deleted them or want to see the original versions for reference.

Latest reviews

  • (2025-01-03) David Valentine: I appreciate whoever left the review clarifiying Arc browser DOES work. I failed at first, you probably will need to add certificates, at least that is what was needed in my case. Works like a charm and wow, I'm really excited to use this.
  • (2024-11-28) Daniel King: Holy Carp! This extension is incredible and works FLAWLESSLY. Massive thank you to the developer for producing this masterpiece!!
  • (2024-10-20) Mitch Ribeiro: For those saying that it DOESN'T work with Arc browser-you're WRONG and it does work. Follow the steps in the setup but make sure to do the final few TWICE and trust me it works like a charm. I used instructions found by another reviewer on here and am very happy with it
  • (2024-09-04) Shio Yuuno: Can tell this is a well-made plugin but unfortunately it doesn't work with Arc browser... I got the Local REST plugin, figured out the cert (I'm on a Mac), even changed shortcut to launch this extension, but pressing the button doesn't seem to do anything... Arc as a browser does some weird stuff with plugins, I bet this is another instance of that
  • (2024-05-25) Bob Broekhuis: Awesome plugin, and might want to put the link to your wiki up front to link people the instructions to your SSL certificate. took me a while :P but i got it in the end. Wiki > https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-web/wiki/How-do-I-get-my-browser-trust-my-Obsidian-Local-REST-API-certificate%3F Thank you for making this!
  • (2024-05-19) Harry Slaughter: OMG, I love it. When I first installed the extension, I didn’t take the time to learn how to configure it, and the default behavior wasn’t what I was looking for. But I took a second pass at it and realized it’s far more powerful than the Evernote extension I’m replacing (#metoo). I’m a web developer, so I was comfortable configuring it, but I can see how it would be daunting to a layman. I was able to configure my own simple rule for saving the link and title to a custom note in my vault. I’m also using the ‘save to daily note’ feature. Very nice. And I just discovered its ability to identify pages that you have already included in your vault, which is genius. And it also introduced me to the REST API plugin, which will now allow me to do other integrations with Obsidian. Very nice work.
  • (2024-05-10) Jason Hawes: Neat idea. Poor execution. Will work once and then one successive tabs/browser instances it will never work again unless you remove everything and set up the API key again. This is on the latest version of the Local REST API and the latest version of the Web clipper I see on similar reviews the developer is telling people to read the forums but the forums are just the developer again asking if the people with the problems are sure things are set up correctly Yes, this is set up correctly, yes this is the latest version of the clipper and REST API, yet this isn't working for more than a couple of clips because as soon as the browser is relaunched, it never works again
  • (2024-04-17) Rob Gray: Just get a black box, but promising
  • (2024-04-14) D. Vogt: It is a wonderfully reliable and a powerful asset! 10/10 It is so good, in fact, that I truly fear development may one day cease I am so attached to it! For the novice computer-user it may be a little clunky and involved to setup if you are impatient, however the documentation makes it easy. Just take it slow, do what it says exactly, and it will be a speedy install, and well worth your time. The app exceeds expectation. Obsidian Web takes the vanilla Obsidian.md far-ahead of many commercially available options, and a vital part of my workflow. Thank you dev.
  • (2024-03-18) Kevin Moore: The documentation for getting this extension configured and working with Obisidian and the REST API were flawless. It does take just a bit of patience and effort to get setup, but the results are well worth the minor up front work.
  • (2024-03-17) Vincent Chen: works like a charm after this latest update, thank you so much.
  • (2024-03-10) Jake Odom: This is the only Obsidian clipper that is worth anything. Thank you very much for creating this. It's the only one that can capture the website without cluttering it with out of place html tags. This is very much an extension for power users as it requires the API, but that should not impact the score of this extension. Great work!
  • (2024-03-01) Harry Potter: Could not send content to Obsidian: (Error Code 50000) Internal Server Error request entity too large
  • (2024-02-26) Tom Smith: I can't get it to work either. Added the api string. Restarted Chrome and Obsidian. Plugin can't connect.
  • (2024-02-26) wei zhang: The extensions gallery cannot be scripted
  • (2024-02-07) Bongani Masimla: Doesn't work in Chrome 121.
  • (2024-02-06) Zork Drajar: The main issue I have is it keeps asking for a security certificate. Which if you reinstall that it sometimes works again other times it simply doesn't. Not sure why I have to sign in to anything, other web to markdown clippers don't require this step. I keep looking at this plug-in, but it feels flaky while others work without a hitch so I end up always going back to those. I hope the developer continues to improve this and have it work locally. I don't need to report to support forums. I know what is wrong, I know why its wrong, and I know what I want to see improved.
  • (2024-01-17) Sergey: One of the best and most customisable web clipper for Obsidian
  • (2024-01-11) Sergey Balasev-Samarski: This thing just doesn't work in Chrome. I tried everything, both secure and nonsecure mode. In the settings it says it passes the check with the REST plugin and its API key, the clipper pops up with properly displayed text, but when I press the down arrow to clip it nothing happens. The way to actually clip a page looks unnecessarily complicated with additional plugin, but it doesn't work nevertheless.
  • (2024-01-05) Duke Wu: I absolutely adore this plugin, and it's incredibly creative. Obsidian's local note-taking gives me a sense of control over everything, while this plugin gives me the courage to abandon EverNote. With it, I believe Evernote could easily take a backseat
  • (2023-12-10) Adam Wiseman: Doesn't work in the latest Opera stable on MacOS Sonoma. I have the Local REST API extension installed in Obsidian, successfully changed the extension settings and tested communications with Obsidian (passed), but clicking the extension button and then the little "download" button on the pop up does nothing. Nothing is clipped, nothing ever happens.
  • (2023-12-03) Tub: excellent extension, but I couldn’t get it to work via https, I added all the certificates, it still doesn’t work. Via http everything is fine, but how secure is it...
  • (2023-11-23) Oo Fa: When it comes to local file url, it pops up ```Could not send content to Obsidian: (Error Code 40400) Not Found``` any way to fix it?
  • (2023-11-19) David Mann: Nice tool for linking/highlighting websites into your Obsidian vault.
  • (2023-10-24) Yang Yuchun: It doesn't work. API key cannot be saved in this page Obsidian Web Settings.
  • (2023-10-24) Yang Yuchun: It doesn't work. API key cannot be saved in this page Obsidian Web Settings.
  • (2023-10-05) Tad Sampson: The plugin is good, but I'm unsure if I would prefer it over others. It doesn't work perfectly, and it seems like the developer doesn't respond to comments, which is unfortunate. A plugin should be easy to install and use. If it takes hours to make it work, it's not worth it. Perhaps it requires more work or better documentation. The issue I'm facing is adding to an existing note. The extension distinguishes between daily notes and regular notes. Since I don't use daily notes, I need it to append to an existing one, but it doesn't work. My workaround is creating a new note and using another plugin to extract the content. I use this plugin for customization purposes. It can be improved, definitely. It feels like it's only halfway done and hasn't been updated since its inception. I could be mistaken, and I hope I am, as I would love for the append notes feature to work. I gave it 2 stars due to the lack of documentation and clear examples, and 4 starts for what it does.

  • (2023-08-29) Alexey Belkin: It does not paste content to the note created. It only records title, url and date. The rest remains empty whatever I try to do :(

  • (2023-01-25) Joel Teixeira: Would like to see a one-click share option like on "Obsidian Clipper". I always append to current daily note so seems unnecessary to double click options to share. I still choose this one because of its customization options.

  • (2023-01-10) Alexander Molin: When I was needing in web clipper for Obsidian I tried some of them and found out this one - Obsidian Web - excellent tool! I have modified the page saving template to suit my needs. I made it so that the page was saved as a whole, if I didn't select anything. And so that only the selected fragment is saved, if I have selected a certain piece of content on the page, the entire page is not saved. Also, I changed the path of saving pages and made several templates for different folders in Obsidian. I would like the developers to add the ability to select folders and notes from my Obsidian every time I save a site page.
