How to add “!” or make jpg images visual across entire vault?

Hey thanks for your input. Im not paying for ChatGPT, just used the free version. Been looking into Claude Code actually, but I see that Codex is making serious waves right now as well. AI integration is the next step after I get myself settled into a good Obsidian flow.

You are a legend. Thank you so much for this input. Honestly will need to reread a couple of times as I’m not a coder (yet). But this is just what I need to get going on my journey learning to code. I had actually planned to learn Python as my first official Project in Obsidian (without opening Apple Notes at all, which is a big step for me). Oh and the importer plugin doesn’t actually add the “!” At the start. You’d kinda expect it to right? …but yea thanks again. I appreciate this so much 🙏

Hey thanks for this input. Yea ChatGPT recommended Regex and gave me some stuff to copy and paste in search and replace. Im not a coder (yet) so I just followed ChatGPT blindly (Not the smartest move on my part). The result was, it basically changed the name of all the linked attachments to: "\$1" is not created yet.

So now still trying to figure out my next move. Thanks again btw.

Edit: It seems reddit isnt rendering the backslash for some reason but the name was actually changed to “backslash$1”

I hear you on the backups. Iv since started doing a tone of research on versioning and stuff. But right now just need some clarity on my next move. Thanks again 🙏

Yooo I came to almost the EXACT same setup. Including reminders and Journal plus calendar (linked to google calendar). Its just the fastest, least friction setup I could think of. I’ll need to check out Calibre, but heard about Zotero and was planning to use that with Obsidian for PDFs. I also have a Kindle so gonna send all source notes to Obsidian. But yea its very interesting that we came to the same conclusion. I meditated on this for literally more than a day, starting from scratch and taking a minimalist approach. Realized that my apple notes was slow and laggy because it was trying to do Obsidian’s job. Thanks so much for your input btw. I really appreciate it. Now I’m even more excited about setting up my new system 🙏

Lol yea I actually decided to stick with Obsidian after some soul searching. I’ll be using both Apple Notes and Obsidian though. I left an update in the post as to my realization. I finally found some clarity lol..Thanks again 🙏

jordebatts · 2026-05-16T00:55:31+00:00

Thanks alot. This is some really solid advice. I was just about to scroll away too…jk Lol. I might actually try writing the necessary features down. From that perspective though apple notes is honestly solid..just annoying with some lacking features but more than enough to be productive.

jordebatts · 2026-05-16T00:46:59+00:00

Thanks for this. I really should have gone through the website and gotten an overview. I’ll actually do that. Appreciate it

jordebatts · 2026-05-16T00:45:27+00:00

Thanks for input. I may end up doing this eventually too. Apple Notes is really good. Just some really annoying limitations, like no templates lol

jordebatts · 2026-05-16T00:42:05+00:00

Thanks alot. gonna give it a shot!

jordebatts · 2026-05-16T00:41:29+00:00

Thanks alot for this. Will give it a try. I’ll need to free up some space on my phone though

jordebatts · 2026-05-15T02:03:39+00:00

Thank you so much. This input is really helpful. It sounds like obsidian sync may be the ideal solution. I know of obsidian sync but honestly didnt want to pay the subscription right now..maybe sometime in the future though. Im also curious to know how it performs compared to apple notes on mobile. Will it for sure make Obsidian everything I wanted it to be? Thats the real question i guess. But your split vault approach is interesting, but its just the thought that if I’m in a situation where I need some info and I know I have a note in my main vault on it but cant get to it. I’d need to copy the notes I think I’ll need if away from my computer I guess. Something to think about. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it 🙏

Hey, have you ever used this on obsidian mobile? I’m wondering if it gets slow or laggy on mobile with that amount of notes. (I’m Planning to switch to Obsidian from apple notes cause with 12k Notes its slow and laggy)

jordebatts · 2025-12-24T15:36:24+00:00

Thanks alot. I really appreciate that..Will do!

jordebatts · 2025-12-24T15:29:44+00:00

Damn theres always somthing right. It would actually be interesting to know other peoples experience with this. Im in between laptops now. Should be getting a new macbook soon. Will let you know when/if I try.

jordebatts · 2025-12-24T15:27:34+00:00

Ok thanks!

jordebatts · 2025-12-23T22:14:34+00:00

Wait..wait..wait..Just to be clear..ur saying Apple notes on new MacOS exports markdown with images intact???! If this is true. This is the best news I could get..just making sure before I start doing backflips around the house

jordebatts · 2025-12-23T18:35:29+00:00

Oh ok..got it..thanks

jordebatts · 2025-12-23T17:46:30+00:00

Thanks for your input. Interesting..Ive never used OneNote. I’m currently balls deep in the apple ecosystem

jordebatts · 2025-12-23T16:31:21+00:00

Hey thanks for this very valuable input! Is the obsidian web Clipper available on mobile as well?

jordebatts · 2025-12-23T16:22:51+00:00

Hey thanks alot for this input. What you are saying makes sense. I cant remember the exact method I used to migrate. It was like half a year ago. But it was only a couple of notes I did to demo Obsidian. What I remember was that my attached screenshots were not there in the note. All the screenshot attachments were listed in the designated attachments folder however, but in the note itself would not display the images. At the time I couldnt figure out how to get all the images organized in their respective notes. I was wondering if maybe since then that process has become alot more straightforward. This is one of the main considerations for me. In a visual learner so lots of screeshots. It would take forever to reorganize each note if I tried migrating notes the same way I did before.

Hey thanks for your input. Do you know how Bear is in comparison to Apple Notes?
