Obsidian.
You don't need a special Obsidian plugin.
You don't need to plug in a device.
You'll even get a Daily Reflection added to your Obsidian daily note.
Take back your gathered thoughts and store them where you want them.
BTW this also works with KOReader, so get all your notes and highlights in one place!
YouTube + Full Transcript
Subscribe to any YouTube channel as an RSS feed. When a video is published, Unearthed imports it automatically — along with the full transcript (optional). Highlight the transcript, add notes, and export everything to Obsidian. Treat YouTube like any other reading source.
Full Article, Instantly
RSS feeds often only deliver a summary or the first few paragraphs. One click on Get Full Article fetches and displays the complete text — without leaving the app.
Or skip the button entirely. Enable automatic full-article download per feed and the complete content is already waiting when you open anything. Configure it once per feed — only auto-download what you actually want.
Kindle Sync
Import all your Kindle highlights and notes through a built-in browser. Auto-sync every hour in the background.
RSS Feed Reader
Subscribe to RSS feeds and YouTube channels, or import any web page. Full-height article list with collapsible controls for maximum reading space.
Obsidian Export
Smart export to Markdown with customizable templates. Optionally include full article content. Only adds new quotes on re-export.
KOReader Sync
Built-in API server for wireless highlight syncing from your e-reader. No USB cable needed.
Article Highlighting
Color-coded highlights, notes, and copy-to-clipboard on imported articles. Styled delete confirmations and keyboard-driven workflow.
