Papersync for Obsidian

Snap a handwritten page with the Papersync app, and it lands in today's daily note as Markdown.

What you need

• The Papersync app (Android now, iPhone soon).
• An API key from an AI provider you pick in the app. Some providers charge for use.
• Obsidian on desktop.

Setup

1. In the app, choose where scans go: Google Drive, or a synced folder (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Syncthing).
2. In the plugin settings, connect the same place.

Scans waiting there import right away. Edit the template first if you want a different layout.

Privacy

• No Papersync server, no account, no telemetry.
• Folder sync reads your chosen folder outside the vault. On macOS, reading an iCloud file that was offloaded asks iCloud to download it. The plugin makes no network requests.
• Google Drive talks only to Google, with the drive.file scope. The sign-in token stays in Obsidian's secret storage. See SECURITY.md.

Install

Search Papersync in Settings › Community plugins. Or copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the latest release into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/papersync/.
