Check a small Markdown import

Import a copy of a few linked notes and check folder placement and links before migrating a full vault.

What it’s useful for

itsnotes makes a large note collection browsable as cards, lists and folders. Its Obsidian import and Markdown mirror make it worth examining if you want a different view of text notes while retaining a file-based exit route. The live service still uses a database.

Inside the product

  • Browse notes as a card grid or list, with tags, folders and month markers.
  • Import an Obsidian vault ZIP or selected Markdown files; the documented importer handles note links and images.
  • Optionally mirror notes to Markdown files; the database remains authoritative and conflicts are saved separately.

Good to know

  • You run the application and PostgreSQL service, including backups and upgrades.
  • A vault importer does not reproduce Obsidian plugins, Canvas documents or graph behavior.
  • Optional AI features use your configured provider. A local deployment alone does not keep every AI request on your machine.

The maker’s build notes

The maintainer explicitly describes the project as vibe-coded in the repository. No specific coding assistant is named in that statement, so no tool-specific badge is assigned. The screenshots are published by the project; this review did not deploy a server or test a vault migration.

A few more details

Does the Markdown mirror make the database optional?

No. The project keeps the database as its source of truth. The mirror provides a file representation and a documented route for reading changes back, with separate conflict handling.
