Obsidian Plugin — Sync Your Vault
Keep writing in Obsidian — Pensio adds the intelligence layer. No need to switch tools.
Benefits
Real-Time Sync
Save in Obsidian, and it syncs to Pensio. The plugin detects changes and uploads automatically.
Bulk Upload
Sync your entire vault at once — entries uploaded in chunks of 50 for reliability.
No Lock-In
Your markdown files stay in your vault, unchanged. Pensio reads them — it never modifies them.
Secure Auth
JWT tokens stored in Obsidian SecretStorage. Automatic refresh — no password prompts.
How It Works
Install the plugin
In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins, search for "Pensio Journaling Sync", and click Install, then Enable.
Connect your account
Open Connect Obsidian in your Pensio settings, generate a one-time setup code, and enter it in the plugin. No copying long tokens — each device gets its own secure connection, stored in Obsidian SecretStorage.
Sync your vault
Click "Sync Now" to upload your existing entries in chunks of 50. From then on, every save syncs automatically in the background.
Access intelligence on the web
Your entries appear in Pensio with emotions extracted, insights generated, and the Explore AI ready to answer questions — all while your markdown files stay untouched in Obsidian.
Use Cases
The Obsidian plugin bridges local-first writing with cloud-powered intelligence.
Obsidian power users
Keep your local-first workflow intact. Write in Obsidian as you always have — Pensio adds the intelligence layer without changing your files or your habits.
Vault migration
Already have years of journal entries in Obsidian? Bulk sync uploads everything at once. Your historical entries get emotion analysis and become searchable via the AI.
Multi-device journaling
Write in Obsidian on desktop, access your journal and AI insights via the Pensio web app on mobile. Best of both worlds.
