I recently started using Obsidian and have slowly been working it into my daily workflow.

One thing I’d like to be able to do is to use the iOS share sheet to send a URL to Obsidian with the ability to choose where it goes and make a note about it so I can keep track of bookmarks for various projects.

Is there any way to do this inside Obsidian or using iOS shortcuts with Obisdian?

Thanks!

    I have been using the app Raindrop for this function, the integration for obsidian is awesome. Raindrop also lets you highlight and tag your bookmarks and it saves those into obsidian as well. The share function through the iOS share sheet is really great too, you can categorize and add tags right then too, definitely recommend it in general. Site is raindrop.io

    I don’t think you need a subscription for most of it, maybe the highlights, I pay for one for the permanent library feature and so it will stick around so I can’t remember but they do have a free option.

      I also use Raindrop for general bookmarking! It’s not open source ir anything, but it’s free option is excellent and I think they still have a standard export option 👍

        I had to go and check and it seems I am actually synching the highlights through Readwise currently. I kept switching back and forth, I have used that plugin in the past and I remember it working well.

        ETA: I also use Readwise Reader and it is awesome, I have to check out this Omnivore app that someone suggested though!

      Wow! Thanks a lot! So weird, I’ve used all kinds of bookmarking services and built my own with the Dataview plugin in Obsidian… This is very easy. I can confirm that the sync part works without a Raindrop subscription.

        Awesome! I also have used a bunch and Raindrop is really good at organizing lots of links which I thought they all were until I found it hah.
