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 either way, and it waits for you on the import page. You can upgrade from there, on the web or in the app. Once you're on Pro, press Run next to the upload and the import starts. Nothing runs until you ask it to, so if you uploaded a vault twice you can delete the copy you don't want first.
Works for any folder of Markdown files. Not just Obsidian.
