Obsidian Read Later

Plugin for keeping and tracking offsite version of web pages

• Download a page to markdown
• integrate with read-it-later services like Pocket and Instapaper
• Map a note to a web page and keep it in synch

Download or update a page to markdown

Use a bookmarklet

Use the command Save URL from Clipboard

Set the url attribute in the frontmatter and use the command Synch current page

Integrate with read-it-later Services

Go to the settings and authorize the plugin to access either your Pocket or Instapaper Library. Optionally set a periodic synching and a custom folder for each service.

You can force the Synch with the commands Synch Pocket Unread List or Synch Instapaper Unread List

The plugin will fetch the bookmarks from the services and store them as markdown notes. It will optionally keep it in synch by periodically fetching new bookmarks.

You can also "archive" the bookmarks from the corresponding notes.

Automatic synch

If you want your note to be kept in synch with the online version, simply set the synch attribute:

---
url: https://time.is/
readlater:
  synch: Hourly
  synchtime: 1670768616110
---

synch attribute can take the following values: Manual (default), Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly

Hints

This plugin works quite well to synch with shared whiteboards like Arc browser's easel.

It is also quite good for reading offline from sites like Medium
