RoveNotes for Obsidian

Sync your RoveNotes voice recordings and handwritten notes into your Obsidian vault as markdown files — one page per recording (audio embedded inline, summary, full transcript) and one page per handwritten note (recognized markdown + summaries).

What it does

Each sync pass:

  • Creates RoveNotes/{date}_{filename}__{shortId}.md per recording, with YAML frontmatter (rovenotes_id, rovenotes_url, date, duration_ms, filename, state).
  • Saves the recording's audio next to the markdown as .ogg so it plays in Reading Mode via ![[...ogg]].
  • Creates RoveNotes/Notes/{date}_{filename}__{shortId}.md per handwritten note (Boox today), with the recognized markdown, any AI summaries, and a link back to the note in RoveNotes. No audio — handwriting only.
  • Reconciles continuously — renames on the RoveNotes side propagate to the file, late-arriving transcripts/summaries/recognition update the same file in place, and anything you deleted from the vault gets rewritten on the next sync.

The plugin only sends read requests; nothing in your vault is pushed back to RoveNotes.

Requirements

  • A RoveNotes Pro account (free tier doesn't grant API access).
  • Obsidian 1.4.0+ on desktop (macOS / Windows / Linux). Mobile isn't supported yet — the plugin declares isDesktopOnly: true.

Install

  1. Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
  2. Search for RoveNotes, install, enable.
  3. Open the plugin's settings and click Connect to RoveNotes.

Local build (for development)

  1. Build: npm install && npm run build from the repo root.
  2. Copy dist/main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/rovenotes-notes/.
  3. Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → turn off Restricted mode, refresh the installed plugins list, enable RoveNotes.

Linking the plugin to your account

  1. Open Settings → RoveNotes → Connect to RoveNotes.
  2. The plugin shows an 8-character code + a link to app.rovenotes.com/link.
  3. Open the link in your browser (already signed in as your RoveNotes user), paste the code, approve. Obsidian picks up the approval within a few seconds.

You can flip the integration off without disconnecting from Settings → Integrations → Obsidian on the web. Revoking the token fully ("Revoke all") requires re-linking next time.

Settings

  • Vault folder — where recording files live. Default RoveNotes.
  • Auto-sync interval — minutes between polls. Minimum 1, default 5.
  • Sync now — runs the loop immediately (also available as a ribbon icon and command palette entry).
