Share to Save
An Obsidian plugin that automatically downloads web pages as Markdown notes, with quick text note capture.
1. Save web pages: Share / Add links from mobile → Auto-download on desktop → Save to your vault
2. Save text: Type text in the plugin input and save
3. Quick capture: Home screen shortcut for one-tap access to the input, see Add to Home Screen below
Typical Usage
- General Web Pages — Any standard article page (news, blogs, documentation) works out of the box via the built-in defuddle fallback.
- WeChat Articles — Share an article from WeChat Official Accounts to Obsidian, and it will be saved with full text, images, and metadata intact.
- Xiaohongshu (RED) Posts — Copy a RED post link, add the link in the plugin, and both the text content and all images will be extracted and saved.
- Quick Notes — Home screen shortcut for one-tap access to the input, quickly capture fleeting thoughts or clipboard text
Workflow
📱 Share or Add URL on Mobile → 💻 Auto-Download on Desktop
Web Page Saving
- Share to Obsidian via the share button on your mobile device
- Select "Save to Share-to-Save" in the share menu
- Or click the plugin ribbon button, then paste a URL
- URL is written to the queue file under the Share-to-Save folder
- Sync to your desktop (see Sync Methods below)
- The desktop plugin detects the entry and automatically fetches the full web content, saving it as a
.mdnote - On desktop, you can also click the ribbon button to directly enter a URL
Text Saving
Desktop ribbon button ☁️ or mobile menu ☰ → ☁️ input text → click "Save Text" button
Installation
- iOS Obsidian ≥ 1.13.0 — Obsidian 1.13 introduced a new share sheet menu. Install the plugin on desktop only (mobile not required). When sharing, select
Share-to-Saveas the target folder in the new share sheet menu. - iOS < 1.13.0 / Android — Install the plugin on both mobile and desktop. Share via the in-app share menu (the plugin injects a "Save to Share-to-Save" button).
Sync Methods
The plugin relies on file sync to transfer the queue file from mobile to desktop. We recommend one of the following:
| Method | Cost | Speed | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast Note Sync | Free | Instant | Easy — another Obsidian plugin |
| iCloud | Free | ~1-10s | Built-in on Apple devices |
| Syncthing | Free | ~1-5s | Cross-platform, self-hosted |
| Git | Free | Manual push/pull | Versioned, but requires manual steps |
Recommendation: Fast Note Sync provides near-instant queue delivery — your desktop starts downloading within seconds of sharing on mobile. Unlike iCloud it works cross-platform, and unlike Syncthing it needs no separate daemon.
Add to Home Screen
One-tap access to the plugin input from your home screen for quick note capture.
iOS
Shortcuts app → New Shortcut → Add "Open URL" → obsidian://share-to-save → Share → Add to Home Screen
Android
Use Shortcut Maker to create an Intent shortcut (see plugin settings for parameters).
Submitting Issues
If you encounter extraction problems, please open an issue on GitHub Issues with the following information:
- The URL — The specific link you tried to save (required)
- What went wrong — Which part was not extracted correctly? (title, author, body text, images, etc.)
- Failure type — Is it:
- Cannot extract at all (nothing saved, queue stuck, error message shown)
- Extraction is wrong (saved but content is incomplete, garbled, or incorrect)
Providing a sample URL is essential — different pages on the same platform can have completely different HTML structures.
