I Have a Rock logo: a hand holding a stone

A plugin connecting Zotero and Obsidian.

English · 繁體中文

Plugin page on Obsidian Community

Why the name?

Zotero gets its name from the Albanian word zotëroj, which means "to own" or "to master."

Obsidian, on the other hand, is a type of volcanic glass. Basically, a rock.

So I guess I have a rock.

Requirements

Zotero 10, with the Local API turned on in Zotero's settings.

Privacy

Network use Connects only to Zotero on this computer (127.0.0.1:23119, the Zotero Local API). Nothing is sent to the internet.
Files outside the vault Reads Zotero's data folder: storage/ to show PDFs, and cache/library/ for annotation images. Read only.
