Import from Obsidian or Markdown

Bring your notes into Hjarni. Upload a ZIP of your Markdown folder. Structure, frontmatter, wiki-links, and attachments come with it.

No plugins. No manual cleanup afterward. Find it under Import on the Personal page, or visit /import/new.

What comes across

Folders become folders. Nested folders nest. If you already have a folder with the same name, the import reuses it.

We read YAML frontmatter: title, tags, summary, source_url. No title? The filename is used instead.

We rewrite Obsidian-style [[Other Note]] links to Hjarni's [[id:Title]] format. Display overrides like [[Other|alias]] carry through. Heading anchors like [[Other#Heading]] resolve to the note itself (Hjarni doesn't link to specific headings). Links show up in the note's Linked Notes section, just like links you write by hand.

Images and files embedded with ![[file.png]] come across as attachments on their note. Up to 25 MB per file.

Choose where it lands

The upload form has an Import into folder dropdown. Pick one and the zip's hierarchy nests under it. Leave it empty and top-level folders in the zip stay top-level.

On the Free plan

Over your remaining quota? We save the upload and send you to checkout. After you upgrade, the import runs and you land back on the import page. Close the tab and come back. It resumes next time.


Works for any folder of Markdown files. Not just Obsidian.
