reMark Bridge

Push the active Obsidian note to your reMarkable tablet with a single command, and keep an eye on the bridge's sync status straight from the status bar.

This plugin talks HTTP to a running reMark Bridge instance (≥ v0.6.0), which runs on your own machine / VPS / Docker stack. No data leaves your infrastructure.

Installation

From the community plugin store (recommended)

1. In Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
2. Search for reMark Bridge and install it.
3. Enable the plugin.

Manual install

1. Build main.js (npm install && npm run build) or download the pre-built release asset.
2. Copy manifest.json, main.js, and (if present) styles.css into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/remark-bridge/.
3. Toggle the plugin on under Settings → Community plugins.

Setup

1. On the server running reMark Bridge (v0.6.0+), issue a bearer token:

   remark-bridge bridge-token issue --label obsidian
   

   Copy the token — it's shown only once.

2. In Obsidian: Settings → reMark Bridge, paste the token and the URL where the bridge's web service is reachable (e.g. http://localhost:8000, or your Tailscale / ngrok / VPN hostname).

3. The status bar should flip from "reMark: …" to a live sync summary within 60 s. If you see "reMark: offline", double-check the URL and that the bridge server is running.

Usage

Failed requests are retried with exponential back-off (default 3 attempts starting at 2 s). When all retries fail you get an Obsidian notice with the underlying error — no silent failures.

Development

npm install
npm run dev   # rebuilds main.js on change for Obsidian's live reload
