Unofficial Supernote by Ratta Integration

Supernote Obsidian Plugin

I use my Supernote for capturing hand written notes and reading documents.

But, I already use Obsidian for organizing and capturing all of my digital notes.

This plugin enables me (and now you!) to import handwritten notes into Obsidian and view them on a desktop, phone or tablet.

This plugin has four main features:

• 📝 View Supernote *.note files in your Obsidian Vault. You can link to these notes from your Markdown notes too [My Note](example.note).

• ➡️ Export Supernote *.note files as PNGs and/or markdown files and attach them to your Vault.

• 📺 Copy an image from a Supernote via screen mirroring into your current note with the "Insert Supernote mirror image" command (demo video)

• ⬇️ Download & Upload files directly from your device via the Supernote Browse & Access feature. (demo video)
