Exporter

Exporter

Obsidian plugin for exported Apple Notes and Bear Notes.

Decorates notes:// and bear:// links with native app icons and lets you open notes in their source app directly from Obsidian.

Works with Notes Exporter for Apple Notes and any Bear export that includes source URLs in frontmatter.

Features

• native app icons on notes:// and bear:// links in reading view, live preview, and properties panel
• "Open in Apple Notes" / "Open in Bear" in file and editor context menus
• native app icon button in the tab header bar
• status bar showing source app and last modified time
• command palette: "Open in native app"

Notes Exporter app

Export your Apple Notes and Bear Notes as markdown using Notes Exporter. Select folders or tags, export to a folder, and open it as an Obsidian vault.

How it works

The plugin reads source_url (or source / link) from frontmatter and matches it against notes:// and bear:// schemes.

Apple Notes exported files typically have frontmatter like:

source_url: "notes://showNote?identifier=..."
