Screvi Sync

Sync your Screvi highlights into Obsidian. Whatever you have collected in Screvi, from Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Readwise and the web, lands in your vault as markdown, organized by source.

Features

• Automatic Sync: Automatically sync your highlights at regular intervals
• Manual Sync: Sync on-demand with a single click
• Organized by Source: Highlights are automatically organized by source type (books, articles, tweets, etc.)

Installation

From the Obsidian community plugin store:

1. Open Obsidian Settings
2. Go to Community Plugins
3. Click "Browse" and search for "Screvi Sync"
4. Click Install, then Enable

Manual installation

You can also install straight from a GitHub release:

1. Download both files from the latest release:
   • main.js
   • manifest.json
2. In your vault, create the folder .obsidian/plugins/screvi/ (the folder name must be exactly screvi).
3. Move the two downloaded files into that folder.
4. In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins. Make sure Restricted mode is off, then click the reload icon next to Installed plugins.
5. Enable Screvi Sync in the list.

To update later, repeat steps 1–3 with the new release files and reload Obsidian.

Network use and privacy

This plugin connects to a single host — https://api.screvi.com — to read your highlights. It uses your API key from the settings tab for authentication and sends no other data.

When Auto sync is enabled (default: on, every 2 hours), the plugin polls api.screvi.com on a timer in the background to fetch new highlights. You can change the interval, or disable auto-sync entirely and trigger syncs manually, in Settings → Screvi Sync.

No analytics, telemetry, or third-party services are contacted.
