Export

Export AI conversations to Obsidian

Obsidian export copies Markdown to the clipboard and opens an obsidian://new link. RecallBase can start that app-opening flow, but the browser cannot prove that Obsidian created the final note.

Saved chat detail view with export action buttons including Open Export Studio, Obsidian, Notion, Word, PDF, and Docs. — A saved chat's detail view includes a direct Obsidian button alongside the other export actions.

Before you start

Install Obsidian and allow obsidian:// links in your browser. In RecallBase settings, you can set the Obsidian Folder and Vault where new notes should go.

Where to export to Obsidian

Obsidian is available from the popup, floating button, right-click menu, and Export Studio.

1
Popup: choose Obsidian for the current chat or a saved chat.
2
Floating button: choose Obsidian while viewing the current chat.
3
Right-click menu: choose Save to Obsidian on a supported chat page.
4
Export Studio: choose Obsidian after previewing the chat or selected messages.

Send to Obsidian

RecallBase copies the Markdown to your clipboard, then opens Obsidian with an obsidian://new URL. Image links stay as Markdown links; the extension does not create attachment files in your vault. See the Free and Pro limits in the capability table below.

1
Choose Obsidian from the popup, floating button, right-click menu, or Export Studio.
2
Approve the browser request to open Obsidian.
3
Check your vault for the new note.
4
If nothing appears, paste the copied Markdown manually.

Fallback

If Obsidian does not create the note, export Markdown and paste it into a note manually.

Obsidian app-opening expectations

Obsidian export is for people who already keep a local vault. The app-opening flow only works if the browser and Obsidian accept the obsidian:// protocol. If the note does not appear, search the vault by title or a known phrase. Markdown export is the reliable fallback, because Obsidian reads Markdown directly.
