Syncer

Obsidian community plugin

Syncer

Application name: Syncer

Your inboxes, one Markdown note.

Syncer is an Obsidian plugin. The purpose of Syncer is to fetch references and links from Google Tasks, Gmail Starred, Microsoft To Do, Outlook flagged mail, Azure DevOps work items, Firefox Bookmarks, and Todoist, and write them into a Markdown note in your local vault under a heading you choose. Syncer runs on your computer inside Obsidian. It does not operate a Syncer backend, proxy, or hosted API.

Purpose of Syncer

The purpose of Syncer is to sync task, mail, and bookmark references from connected accounts into one Obsidian note so you can process them in your vault. Syncer uses Google APIs only for Google Tasks and Gmail Starred when you connect those integrations.

How Syncer uses Google user data

Syncer requests Google user data only when you choose Connect for a Google integration in the Obsidian plugin. The purpose of that request is to list items in your vault note and, if you enable write-back, to update those items. Syncer does not send Google user data to a Syncer server.

What Syncer syncs

Google Tasks Links to incomplete tasks from lists you select.
Gmail Starred Links to starred messages (subject and from).
Microsoft To Do Links to incomplete tasks from selected lists.
Outlook Links to mail with a follow-up flag.
Azure DevOps Links to work items assigned to you.
Todoist Links to incomplete tasks from selected projects.
Firefox Bookmarks Bookmark links from folders in a local desktop profile.

Tokens stay in Obsidian data.json. Synced lines are written into the note you choose. Disconnect clears local credentials for that integration.

Optional write-back can complete, uncomplete, star, flag, or delete items in the connected provider. Off by default where it can change remote data.
