Call history to Obsidian
A note per person and per day in your vault, the calls as lines you can link to.
Steps
- Press “Connect” beside Phone Calls on Exporter’s home and press “Select This Folder” in the panel.
- Choose a folder inside your vault, like
~/Obsidian/Vault/Calls, and press “Use This Folder”. - Connect Contacts too, so the notes carry names, and in Settings › Markdown pick wikilinks or standard links.
- Press “Sync Now”.
What you get
A note per person in contacts/ and a note per day in days/. The properties panel shows total_calls, answered, missed, incoming, outgoing and total_duration, so a Dataview or Bases table can list who you call most or the days you missed calls. Every call line ends with a block id, so your own notes can link to one call.
Pitfalls
- A note is written again when a call comes in, so keep your own thoughts in a separate note that links to it.
- Files are named by the number, so they stay put when a name changes in Contacts.
- Phone calls appear when your iPhone shares its calls with this Mac; FaceTime calls are always there.
Every field is in the Phone Calls docs.
