Share & showcase

Hi everyone!

I’ve been developing Notelert, an Android app that bridges Obsidian with your phone’s notification system. It lets you set reminders directly from your notes that will trigger notifications on your device. I created a post some weeks ago asking for some beta testers without much success and I decided to open widely to everyone.

Key Features:

  • Set reminders with date/time triggers
  • Works via deeplinks - your vault is never scanned
  • Only sends the note title and line number (privacy-first)
  • Free tier: 50 notifications per month
  • Premium features available
    • sync with Google Calendar
    • Email reminders
    • Repeating notifications
    • Location based notificaions

Open Beta:
The app is now in open beta testing! You can download it here:
[Link to Google Play Beta]

Plugin Required:
To use Notelert, you’ll also need the Obsidian plugin:
[Link to plugin]

The plugin is currently pending approval from the Obsidian team, but you can install it manually following the instructions in the README file.

How it works:

  1. Install the plugin in Obsidian
  2. Install the Notelert app on your Android device
  3. Link them together
  4. Use the plugin’s commands to set reminders from your notes

I’d love to get your feedback and see how you use it! Let me know if you have any questions.

I installed the app and tried to sign in with Google, but it says access denied.

Hi, sorry for the blockage at the login the app needs to be verified by Google and its a labyrinthic mess of permissions and configurations. Currently I’m waiting for the final approval of the app login by Google. I’ll back to you when it’s ready. Thanks for your patience!

Hi all again!
After some fixes the app should work fine now for everyone for beta testing. As a refresher with this app / plugin you can set to your notes:

  1. Time based notifications
  2. Location based notifications
  3. Email Notifications
  4. Recurent notifications.
  5. Sync with Google Calendar.

This is all done WITHOUT SCANNING YOUR VAULT.
Remember to install first (manually for the moment ) the plugin:

And then the app:

Any questions and feedback will be much apreciated :folded_hands:t2:
I hope you like it!

Hi!
I’ve seen that some of you installed the app but not been able to use it perhaps because install the plugin is tricky. Youn can use BRAT plugin to install Notelert plugin much more quick.

  1. In Obsidian, in the comunity plugins search for BRAT plugin and install.
    (BRAT plugin allows you to install beta plugins really effortlesly.)
  2. Open BRAT plugin settings and in the “Add beta plugin” modal input copy Notelert plugin link: GitHub - Joaquim-Frances/obsidian-notelert-plugin
    And click “Add plugin”
  3. Link the app with the token to your plugins (app settings)
  4. Done! Now you can set reminders/notifications in Obsidian.

I hope this helps.
