Browser Note

fengshuzifengshuzi53 downloads

Expose a localhost HTTP API (API-key protected) to view, create, edit and delete vault notes, with a built-in browser UI.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates2

Expose your vault through a localhost HTTP API (API-key protected) — view, create, edit and delete notes, resolve wiki links and serve binary assets from external tools — with a built-in browser UI: open http://127.0.0.1:27124/ in any browser (or set it as your browser's new-tab URL) to browse and edit your journals.

Browser Note web UI

Features

  • Built-in web UI — an Infinity-style journal page (evolved from the Note Tab Chrome extension) served by the plugin itself; no extension install needed. Disable it in settings if you only want the API.
  • Localhost by default — the HTTP server binds to 127.0.0.1; an opt-in "Allow LAN access" setting binds 0.0.0.0 so phones/tablets on your network can connect.
  • API-key required — every API request needs Authorization: Bearer <key>; the key is auto-generated on first run and can be copied or regenerated in settings.
  • Full note CRUD over the Vault API (markdown files only).
  • Wiki-link resolution — uses Obsidian's own metadataCache.getFirstLinkpathDest, so shortest-path links like [[001 皮囊]] resolve exactly as they do in the app.
  • Binary asset serving — images, PDFs, audio/video from the vault over HTTP.
  • Daily-notes config — reads the vault's daily-notes folder/format so clients can find journals.
  • Desktop only.

API

Base URL: http://127.0.0.1:27124 (port configurable).

All endpoints require Authorization: Bearer <api-key>. For GET requests the key may also be passed as ?key= (needed by <img> tags, which cannot send headers).

Method Path Description
GET /api/status Health check: vault name, plugin version.
GET /api/notes?q=&folder=&content=1&limit= List notes. q matches path and content; content=1 includes note bodies; limit caps results (max 500).
GET /api/notes/<path> Read a note's content.
POST /api/notes Create a note. Body: {"path": "folder/note.md", "content": "..."}. Parent folders are created automatically.
PUT /api/notes/<path> Replace a note's content. Body: {"content": "..."}.
DELETE /api/notes/<path> Move a note to trash (respects the system/Obsidian trash setting).
GET /api/resolve?path=<linkpath>&source=<note> Resolve a wiki/markdown link to a real vault path (shortest-path aware).
GET /api/assets/<path> Serve a vault file as binary (images, PDF, audio, video).
POST /api/assets?filename=<name>&folder=assets Upload raw bytes (Content-Type: application/octet-stream) as a vault file. Defaults to assets/; auto-renames on conflict.
GET /api/daily-notes/config Daily-notes folder + filename format.
GET /api/journals?limit=&offset= List journal entries only: files in the daily-notes folder whose basename parses as a date in the configured format, sorted by that date desc. limit defaults to 50 (max 500). Response includes total, folder, and format.

Examples

KEY="<paste from settings>"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/status

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" "http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/notes?q=%23读书&content=1&limit=50"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/notes/journals/2026-07-25.md

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"path":"Inbox/hello.md","content":"# Hello"}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/notes

curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"# Updated"}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/notes/Inbox/hello.md

curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/notes/Inbox/hello.md

# Resolve a shortest-path link, then fetch the image
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  "http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/resolve?path=pasted-image.png&source=journals/2026-07-25.md"
open "http://127.0.0.1:27124/api/assets/assets/pasted-image.png?key=$KEY"

Settings

  • Server status — start/stop the HTTP server.
  • Port — localhost port (default 27124); apply & restart after changing.
  • API key — required for every request. Fresh installs start with the shared default addwxfengshu4511 (so clients like note-tab connect out of the box); regenerate here if you see that as a risk.
  • Start on launch — auto-start the server when the vault opens.

Installation

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from the latest release.
  2. Place them in <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/browser-note/.
  3. Enable Browser Note in Settings → Community plugins.
  4. Open http://127.0.0.1:27124/ in your browser, or copy the API key from the plugin settings and configure your own client.

Development

npm install
npm run dev      # watch build
npm run build    # strict lint + typecheck + production bundle to dist/
npm run deploy   # build + copy into local vaults
npm run release  # build + GitHub release via gh CLI
