Claude to Obsidian & Markdown Export

Claude to Obsidian & Markdown Export is a browser extension for people who want their AI conversations to become part of a permanent, searchable personal knowledge base. Claude threads are full of useful material — research, code explanations, study notes, writing drafts — but they live in a web app that makes long-term retrieval awkward. This extension writes them out as Markdown files you own.

Each export produces a well-formed note: conversation turns are preserved, code blocks and tables stay intact, and YAML frontmatter carries metadata such as title, date, message count, project name, model, tags and source URL so that Obsidian search and Dataview-style queries work properly. Images, Claude's WebP previews, SVG visualisations and generated attachments are downloaded into local folders and linked from the note, so nothing is left pointing at a remote URL. A bulk save mode turns whole histories of chats into a local archive rather than a series of one-off saves.

The project is an independent third-party tool published by a developer that also maintains other AI export utilities. It is not an Anthropic or Obsidian product, and its store listing indicates the publisher has a clean record and that optional in-app purchases exist alongside free export functionality. Because capture depends on Claude's current page structure, you may occasionally need to wait for an update when Claude changes its interface.
