Hi everyone, I’ve been working on the Scrybble sync plugin for a while now. It’s a paid service that synchronizes reMarkable notebooks, documents and ebooks to Obsidian.
I made this because I’m a huge fan of the reMarkable tablet, but their integration story with external platforms in general isn’t great, and there was nothing for integrating with Obsidian in general.
At the moment it only supports the usecase of moving from the tablet to Obsidian, but eventually I’m looking to add two-way sync as well.
What it currently does is:
- Extract highlights from PDFs and epubs and place them in a Markdown note
- Extract all typed text and place them in a Markdown note
- The Markdown note is decorated with the tags and organized per page
- Renders the entire notebook, PDF or epub as a PDF and makes this available in the vault
The plugin is really nice for academic and research usage.
There’s still a lot more to add, like handwriting to text conversion, or drawing to diagram conversion etc, and I was also considering adding integration with the tldraw and/or excalidraw apps. But the core functionality as it stands is already quite nice!
The plugin is paid because I want to ensure that the service will be actively maintained, and to cover for server hosting costs. Everything under the Scrybble brand is 100% open-source, GPLv3 licensed, even including the website; see here
