I’ve noticed that there doesn’t seem to be a way to “share” text or other supported content (text, pdf, urls; but particularly text) in iOS: is this a feature in the works? I know there are other features in the works that are more important (like WYSIWYG rendering) but this would be a very helpful feature that seems like it only has crude workarounds (like Shortcuts) at this point.

Can anyone comment as to whether this is on the radar? I don’t normally like to reference other apps like Bear or Roam since Obsidian is paving the way for a different model of data and tool ownership but Bear seems to have a fairly intuitive way of addressing it that may be useful as a reference/starting point as well as Pocket (in terms of being able to tag content before it is shared).

Thank you for all the hard work (in case any devs are reading) and please do not mistake this for ingratitude. Obsidian has done amazing things and I have provided full moral and financial support to help see it through, and I would not hesitate for a moment to do so further. What I mean to say is that I am invested in Obsidian’s success and superiority and I only mean to add a tally mark to this certain feature request if there is an ongoing count running :wink:

Indeed! See:

You can already share the markdown file.

#34

How, exactly?

#35

I’ve made a Shortcut that seems to do the job. Please troubleshoot: Save to Obsidian

#36

Adding my +1 here as well. The only thing stopping me from completely migrating over from Agenda. I see that this and Shortcuts integration on are the roadmap! Can’t wait to see it implemented!

#37

+1 I could probably ditch Things for Obsidian if I had a share sheet.

#38

Does not work for images from, for example, Photos. The resulting markdown file contains gibberish. Thanks for sharing it though!

#39

Or, as I just discovered, Web pages. I’ll see what I can do!

#40

Fixed the Photos issue. Try it out: Save to Obsidian 1.1

#41

I am new to Obsidian and was surprised that there isn’t a Share Sheet extension for iOS.

Maybe I’ve become spoiled. I just thought Share Sheet was built in for most iOS apps, especially apps as awesome as Obsidian.

So yes: I am absolutely in agreement that there needs to be an update to Obsidian that includes this (now) much-missed feature.

:kite:

+1, I could use Obsidian for a number of things that I currently have to round trip through TickTick for currently.

#43

I thought that said TikTok, and was very confused.

Also, have you tried my shortcut above?

#44

+1 Greetings, and I also want to put in a vote for Obsidian to be included in the share sheet.

Thanks

#45

+1 for so many usecases useable

#46

I couldn’t get this shortcut to work.
Notes and highlights file doesn’t exist.
I tried creating a file with that name in Obsidian but still no luck.
Thanks for working on it.

#47

Here’s an updated version that fixes the problem: Save to Obsidian 1.1.1

#48

Yes another +1 for this request

The lack of a share to obsidian is a major inhibitor for me, in moving over from bear.
I want to settle on one app for all 2nd Brian notes … at the moment I am split Bear/Obsidian and TheBrain.

Send a select of web page to Obsidian
Send a web page to obsidian (option images or not)
Send select text from other apps to obsidian

Import to obsidian options as new note, as a link, append / pretend to existing note etc … ie much like bear

Still think obsidian is great ! :slight_smile:

#49

Added support for importing webpages: Save to Obsidian 1.2.

As always, feedback is welcome.

#50

I’ll be the best friend of who pulls this off. I’ll even buy them ice cream.
