Clip is where you save. Obsidian is where you think.

The two tools serve different jobs. Clip is built for capturing and reading web content at speed. Obsidian is built for linking ideas and building a personal knowledge graph. The integration connects them — articles you save in Clip can become notes in your vault, complete with the metadata Obsidian needs to make connections.

Clean Markdown with frontmatter

Each exported note includes YAML frontmatter with the title, source URL, and date saved — ready to tag, link, and query in Obsidian's Dataview plugin.

Highlights carried over

Any passages you highlighted in Clip's reader are included in the Markdown note as callout blocks, visible and linkable inside Obsidian.

Bulk export your whole library

Export every article in your Clip library at once as a folder of Markdown files — a complete migration path or a one-time sync to seed your vault.

Clip as the front-end for your second brain

Most PKM workflows start with copying text from a browser tab into a note. That friction kills the habit. Clip removes it — save the article first, read it in a clean reader, then push it to Obsidian when you're ready to work with the ideas. The capture step is separate from the thinking step, and Clip handles the first one completely.
