Voicenotes Sync

Voicenotes Sync

This plugin offers the ability to sync down your thoughts and ideas from Voicenotes web & mobile apps.

Through the plugin settings you can customize the sync directory and frequency, download the audio file used in the transcript and any AI generated summaries or actions become sections in the note text.

Features

• Automatically sync data based on configurable minutes from VoiceNotes
  • Includes any AI generated summaries or actions
  • Includes TODOs which are turned into markdown todos (can append a tag to every TODO as well)
• Customize the sync directory and frequency
• Downloads the audio file (default is off)
• Prepend the date to the title / filename
• Optional mode to delete synced notes from the Voicenotes server
  • Destructive action which requires double opt-in toggles

Template variables

The note and frontmatter templates support Jinja-style variables and conditionals.

Available variables: recording_id, title, date, duration, created_at, updated_at, tags, topics, transcript, embedded_audio_link, audio_filename, summary, tidy, points, todo, email, tweet, blog, custom, meeting_report, my_notes, parent_note, related_notes, subnotes, attachments.

Notes:

• tags is a space-delimited string of Obsidian-style hashtags (spaces replaced by -).
• topics is a raw array of tag/topic names from Voicenotes (no #, no formatting). Use it when you want frontmatter lists instead of Obsidian tags.

Example: frontmatter template to store topics as a YAML list

{% if topics %}
topics:
{% for topic in topics %}
  - "{{ topic }}"
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
