Obsidian Vaults

Resona automatically detects Obsidian vaults when you select a folder. When a vault is detected:
  • All markdown notes are imported recursively, including subfolders
  • Obsidian-specific files (.obsidian/ config folder, templates) are skipped automatically
  • Your vault structure is preserved — each note becomes an article in your library
  • Frontmatter metadata is respected
Your vault stays on your machine. Resona reads the files locally and only sends the content for AI processing. No sync, no plugins, no changes to your vault.

Importing a Folder

When you select a folder, Resona scans it recursively for supported files. This works for any folder structure, not just Obsidian vaults.
Large folders (500+ files) may take several minutes to process. You can continue using Resona while processing happens in the background.

Tips

Resona does not auto-sync with your local files. To pick up new or edited notes, simply import the folder again. Duplicates are detected and skipped.
Whether you use Obsidian, Logseq, Bear exports, or plain markdown files — if it’s .md, Resona can import it.
