Obsidian Index Service
What is Obsidian Index Service?
The Obsidian Index Service is a background tool that automatically keeps track of all your Markdown notes in an Obsidian vault. It extracts important information like titles, tags, and content, then stores everything in an organized database for quick searching or syncing.How to use Obsidian Index Service?
Simply run the service pointing to your vault directory. It will automatically scan all notes and continue monitoring for changes. The indexed data becomes available in an SQLite database that other apps can read.When should I use this?
Perfect when you need to: - Build custom tools that work with your Obsidian notes - Create a searchable database of your knowledge base - Develop sync capabilities between devices - Analyze your note collection's structure and contentKey Features
