Overview & Getting Started

Transform your Google Gemini conversations into an organized, searchable knowledge base. Export your AI interactions directly to Markdown files compatible with Obsidian, Notion, and any Markdown editor.

Why Gemini to Obsidian?

Your Gemini conversations contain valuable insights, research findings, and creative ideas. But they’re scattered across chat history, difficult to organize, and at risk of being lost. Gemini to Obsidian solves this by exporting your conversations as clean Markdown files that integrate seamlessly with your knowledge management workflow.

Key Features

One-Click Export

Save any Gemini conversation to a Markdown file with a single click. No manual copying, no formatting issues—just clean, organized content ready for your Obsidian vault.

Batch Export with Smart Deduplication

Build a complete backup of your Gemini knowledge:

• Export multiple conversations in bulk
• Fetch entire chat history across multiple pages
• Smart deduplication prevents re-exporting conversations you’ve already saved
• Real-time progress tracking during batch operations

Custom Download Directory

Point exports directly to your Obsidian vault folder. No manual file moving required—everything goes exactly where you need it.

Clean Markdown Format

Preserves your content structure:

• Code blocks with proper formatting
• Conversation structure and flow
• Timestamps and metadata
• Compatible with Obsidian, Notion, and all Markdown editors

Export History Tracking

Keep track of what you’ve exported:

• Detailed export history with timestamps
• Success, failure, and skip counts
• Links to exported files
• Persistent tracking across sessions
