Cordari for Obsidian

Sync your Cordari voice recordings into your Obsidian vault as markdown files — one page per recording, with the audio embedded inline, the Plaud-generated summary, and the full transcript.

What it does

Each sync pass:

• Creates Cordari/{date}_{filename}__{shortId}.md per recording, with YAML frontmatter (cordari_id, cordari_url, date, duration_ms, filename, state).
• Saves the recording's audio next to the markdown as .ogg so it plays in Reading Mode via ![[...ogg]].
• Reconciles continuously — renames on Plaud's side propagate to the file, late-arriving transcripts/summaries update the same file in place, and anything you deleted from the vault gets rewritten on the next sync.

The plugin only sends read requests; nothing in your vault is pushed back to Cordari.

Requirements

• A Cordari Pro account (free tier doesn't grant API access).
• Obsidian 1.4.0+ on desktop (macOS / Windows / Linux). Mobile isn't supported yet — the plugin declares isDesktopOnly: true.

Install

1. Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
2. Search for Cordari, install, enable.
3. Open the plugin's settings and click Connect to Cordari.

Local build (for development)

1. Build: npm install && npm run build from the repo root.
2. Copy dist/main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/cordari-notes/.
3. Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → turn off Restricted mode, refresh the installed plugins list, enable Cordari.

Linking the plugin to your account

1. Open Settings → Cordari → Connect to Cordari.
2. The plugin shows an 8-character code + a link to app.cordari.ai/link.
3. Open the link in your browser (already signed in as your Cordari user), paste the code, approve. Obsidian picks up the approval within a few seconds.

You can flip the integration off without disconnecting from Settings → Integrations → Obsidian on the web. Revoking the token fully ("Revoke all") requires re-linking next time.

Settings

• Vault folder — where recording files live. Default Cordari.
• Auto-sync interval — minutes between polls. Minimum 1, default 5.
• Sync now — runs the loop immediately (also available as a ribbon icon and command palette entry).
