How it works

From install to published link in under a minute.

Step 1

Install

Install the BRAT plugin, then add jotbirdhq/obsidian-jotbird as a beta plugin.
Step 2

Publish

Open any note and click the publish icon, or use the command palette. Share the link immediately.
Step 3

Share

Pages are set to noindex by default. Links last 30 days without an account, 90 days with a free account, or forever with Pro.

Built for Obsidian

Everything you need to go from note to web page without leaving your vault.

One-click publishing

Publish from the ribbon icon, command palette, or file menu. Republish to update — same URL, fresh content.

Automatic image uploads

Local images in your vault are uploaded and embedded automatically. No manual hosting needed.

Callouts & Mermaid

Obsidian callout syntax and Mermaid diagrams render beautifully on the published page.

Frontmatter tracking

Published URLs and expiration dates are stored in your note's frontmatter properties automatically.

How it looks

Every published page gets a responsive URL — no ads, no tracking, no clutter, just your content. Markdown is rendered with proper typography, code blocks, headings, and lists. Here's an example.

Guide

Getting Started

Everything you need to know about the JotBird Obsidian plugin.

Setup

Installation

The JotBird plugin is currently in beta. Install it using the BRAT plugin for Obsidian.

  1. Install the BRAT plugin from Community Plugins (search “BRAT”)
  2. Open Settings → BRAT → Add Beta Plugin
  3. Enter jotbirdhq/obsidian-jotbird and click Add Plugin
  4. Enable JotBird in Settings → Community plugins

BRAT will keep the plugin up to date automatically as new beta versions are released.

Usage

Publishing

There are three ways to publish a note:

  • Ribbon icon — Click the JotBird icon in the left sidebar
  • Command palette — Open the command palette and search “JotBird: Publish”
  • File menu — Right-click a file in the sidebar → “Publish to JotBird”

Local images are uploaded and embedded automatically. Wiki links are converted to plain text, and Obsidian comments (%%...%%) are stripped. Republishing the same note updates the existing page — same URL, fresh content.

The published URL and expiration date are stored in your note's frontmatter as jotbird_link and jotbird_expires.

Usage

Managing Documents

Use the command palette to list or delete published notes:

  • “JotBird: View Published Documents” — See all your published notes with links
  • “JotBird: Delete Published Document” — Permanently remove a note from the web

Published notes also appear in the web app as read-only documents with an “Obsidian” badge.

Setup

Authentication

Connect your JotBird account to get 90-day links.

  1. Open Settings → JotBird
  2. Click Connect Account — this opens jotbird.com in your browser
  3. Sign in (or create an account) and your API key is sent back to Obsidian automatically

You can also paste an API key manually from your account page.

Upgrade

Pro Features

Upgrade to JotBird Pro for permanent links that never expire.

You can upgrade from the plugin settings or from jotbird.com/pro.
