In the article Android Phone Quick Note Capture: Keepsidian App, Google Keep, and Obsidian Integration, it introduced how the Keepsidian App can quickly capture notes and send them to the Obsidian vault on an Android phone. Today, the LINE Notes Sync tool is introduced, which allows you to input messages via LINE friends and sync them into a specific folder within Obsidian. On the mobile side, you only need to add the LINE friend without installing any app, while on Obsidian, the LINE Notes Sync plugin must be installed.

One-Way Sync

LINE Notes Sync only supports one-way synchronization, meaning it syncs LINE messages to Obsidian but does not sync in the reverse direction.

1. LINE Setup Steps

  2. On your phone: Open the LINE app, tap on the bottom【Home】→ tap the top-right corner to add a friend (the friend’s name is ObsidianMemo) →【QR Code】→ scan the following QR code.
