# Safari to Obsidian

Your bookmarks, Reading List and history as notes in your vault, kept in sync.

## Steps

1. Press "Connect" beside Safari on Exporter's home and press "Select This Folder" in the panel, without choosing anything.
2. Choose a folder inside your vault, like `~/Obsidian/Vault/Safari`, and press "Use This Folder".
3. In Options…, tick what each file carries: Page Snippets, Topics and Icons are ticked; tick Page Text to have the text of every bookmark and Reading List page in your vault.
4. Press "Sync Now".

## What you get

`bookmarks/` has a note per bookmark folder, named as Safari shows it, `reading-list/` a note per page you saved, saying when and whether you read it, and `history/` a note per day. `topics.md` lists every topic with its Wikidata link, its pages and links to the days you read them, so the graph shows what you read about.

## Pitfalls

- Page Text fetches pages from the web once, from your Mac, without your cookies: a page behind a sign-in comes back without its text, and its file says why.
- Links follow Settings › Markdown: wikilinks or standard Markdown.
- Bookmarks and the Reading List are free in full; history past the newest 10 days needs Unlock Safari.

Every field is in [the Safari docs](https://exporter.dev/docs/safari).
