hashtag Step 1: Export from Obsidian

Clean up your notes

Convert embeds like ![[Note Title]] into simple links [[Note Title]]

Remove or convert plugin-specific syntax, such as Dataview queries, Templater fields, etc.

Locate your vault

Open the Vault switcher (shown at launch or via File → Open Vault).

Right-click the vault you want to export and choose “Reveal in system explorer.”

hashtag Step 2: Import into Anytype

Open Channel Settings → Import → Obsidian and click on Import files.

Select your vault folder (or a subfolder) for import.

On some platforms (like Linux and Windows), folder selection may not be supported. In that case, compress the folder into a .zip archive and import the archive instead.

Anytype will process the contents and automatically create a separate object for each Markdown file.

Content mapping

[[Internal Links]] → become linked objects in Anytype, so the connections between your notes are preserved.

#tags → become values in the Tag property. You can use them to filter, group or search across objects.

Frontmatter (the --- metadata at the top) → becomes object properties.
