I’m slowly shifting my life to MarkDown (vs OneNote, Loop, etc…) to make my data more portable and have my OpenClaw actually able to reason over it. Problem is that I need a proper sync solution for iOS, and the existing solution I found was from 2024 and had a “Pro” version. So, I figured I’d just write my own.

I (with help of CoPilot) wrote OneDrive Consumer sync for Obsidian Turns out it actually works better than relying on OneDrive’s Mac/Windows file sync too as we can be somewhat smarter about the settings files and handle conflicts a bit better.

  • Zero-Configuration — No Azure AD app registration. Just click connect and authenticate.

  • Mobile-First — Device Code Flow works on iOS and Android with no redirects.

  • Event-Driven Sync — Syncs on file changes, not polling. Great for battery life.

  • Bidirectional — Automatic two-way sync with configurable conflict resolution.

  • Two Access Modes — App Folder (secure, isolated) or Full Access (shareable, flexible location).

It’s still a bit rough around the edges but give it a shot. Let me know what you think. A :star: on GitHub would be great

Nice work on the event-driven sync approach — polling-based solutions always felt wasteful. Will give this a shot on my setup.

Thanks. Let me know how it goes for you.

Full disclaimer, there is a BIT of polling involved waiting for changes, but not any enumeration of all vault contents. Just pushed 1.3.0 with a LOT of sync stability fixes.

If you are using this with OpenClaw, and paranoid about giving anything exec permissions, check this plugin out: https://github.com/JeffSteinbok/carapace-obsidian
