Oh snap this is great.

[Obsidian @obsdmd]

Obsidian 1.5 is now available for early access!

This release includes a brand new editor for tables. Table rows and columns are now easier to create, edit, sort, reorder, copy and paste.

These new table features can also be accessed via context menu, command palette, and hotkeys. Tables are still saved to plain text Markdown.

This release also includes dozens of improvements and bug fixes — some highlights:

- Properties can be renamed globally
- Property search now supports boolean and number values
- Number markers are now right-aligned in lists
- Right click a callout to change its type
- Defaults to system setting for light/dark mode
- Improved auto-pairing to better handle apostrophes

To download early access releases, become a Catalyst member. Catalyst is a one-time $25 donation that helps support Obsidian development.

Obsidian Importer now helps you easily convert your Apple Notes data to portable files that you can use with any Markdown app. Supports tables, images, drawings, scans, PDFs, and links introduced in iOS 17.

Three months ago, we introduced Importer as an open-source project. Thanks to contributions from the Obsidian community, Importer supports converting your data from Notion, Evernote, Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote, Bear, Roam Research, HTML files, and more.

The latest version of Importer tackles the most challenging format to date: Apple Notes.

Unfortunately, Apple Notes is one of the few note-taking apps that does not have a built-in export feature. Because Apple Notes uses a proprietary format, it makes data complicated to migrate, and nearly impossible to use in conjunction with other tools.

Apple Notes supports content such as tables, images, drawings, scans, and PDFs. As of iOS 17 it also supports links between notes. This breadth of content makes the conversion process more challenging. Here’s the good news: all of these content types can now be extracted using Obsidian Importer.

So, how does it work? Apple Notes stores your data in a local SQLite database. This data is in an undocumented format, but it’s possible to decode how it is stored and convert it. Decoding the Protocol Buffers stored in the Apple Notes database was made possible by the work of Jon Baumann from Ciofeca Forensics and its adaptation for Obsidian by Mir Novov.

Whether you’re planning to migrate away from Apple Notes or just want to back up your data, the new Obsidian Importer gives you the freedom to easily convert your Apple Notes to portable, durable files.

🤔 Exploring the UX frontier: What if #ChatGPT adopted features from Digital Audio Workstations? Imagine seamlessly transitioning between multiple conversation threads, and navigating with a visual timeline. Could a #DAW-inspired interface be the future of conversational AI?

Three updates this week: A /turbo mode for ~4x faster creation at ~2x the price. A --weird parameter to explore new aesthetics and a "Mega" membership plan that saves up to 2.5x for the biggest power users in the community. Have fun! More coming next week.
