LINE Notes Sync

A plugin that connects Obsidian with LINE. Messages sent from LINE are automatically saved as Obsidian notes.

Features

• Automatic sync: Save LINE messages as Obsidian notes automatically
• Text messages: Unlimited sync on both the Free and Premium plans
• Image sync: Photos sent from LINE are saved to your vault (Free: up to 10 images total, Premium: unlimited)
• Voice transcription: Voice messages sent from LINE are transcribed to text via Cloudflare Workers AI (Whisper) and synced as notes (Free: up to 10 transcriptions total, Premium: unlimited)
• End-to-end encryption: Text and images are encrypted so the server cannot read them; see Important Security and Privacy Notice for how voice transcription differs
• LINE bot commands: Check your LINE User ID, plan, and remaining quota, or upgrade — directly from the LINE chat (see LINE Bot Commands)
• Flexible organization: Organize notes by date with customizable folder structure
• Custom file naming: Use templates with variables like {date}, {time}, {messageId}
• Duplicate prevention: Automatically handle duplicate messages
• Manual and auto-sync: Sync on-demand or automatically at intervals
• Multi-vault support: Connect multiple Obsidian vaults with unique Vault IDs

Pricing

• Upgrade by sending /upgrade (or "アップグレード") to the LINE bot — it replies with a Stripe Checkout link directly in the chat
• Manage billing or cancel anytime via the Stripe Customer Portal at line-notes-sync.pages.dev
• You'll receive a LINE notification when a payment succeeds, fails, or your subscription is canceled

LINE Bot Commands

Send these commands directly to the LINE Official Account:

• /myid - Show your LINE User ID (needed when connecting the plugin)
• /status - Check your current plan and remaining free quota for images and voice transcription
• /upgrade or "アップグレード" - Get a Stripe Checkout link to subscribe to Premium

You usually don't need to type these: the bot's replies come with tappable buttons (使い方 / プラン確認 / プレミアム登録) above the input field.

Important Security and Privacy Notice

Text messages and images are end-to-end encrypted. Voice transcription is not, because the server has to process the audio to transcribe it.

• Text messages and images are encrypted before being sent to the server
• Encrypted text and images are stored temporarily on the Cloudflare server; the server cannot decrypt or read their contents
• Voice messages are handled differently. Transcribing audio requires it to be processed on the server: voice messages are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI (Whisper) for transcription. The audio file itself is never stored on the server and is discarded once transcription completes. The resulting transcribed text is then stored using the same end-to-end encryption as regular text messages
• Text messages (including transcribed voice text) are automatically deleted from the server after 10 days
• Images are deleted from the server as soon as they finish syncing to Obsidian; images that are never synced expire automatically after 7 days. Maximum image size is 10MB
• The server operates in the Japan region
• While encryption provides security, we recommend avoiding extremely sensitive information, especially in voice messages
