Obsidian Local Vault Sync Configuration Guide

For users who prioritize Local-First, private data sovereignty, and bidirectional linking, Obsidian serves as the quintessential personal knowledge base.

DuRT writes transcripts and structured meeting notes directly to your local Obsidian Vault directory—completely offline, with zero API keys, formatted with standard YAML Front-matter tags, and deep-linkable via obsidian://open.

Key Features

• 100% Offline & Private: Zero network traffic; notes are created locally on your Mac's file system.
• YAML Front-matter: Automatically attaches title, created, duration, and tags (compatible with the Obsidian Dataview plugin).
• Subfolder Organization: Allows specifying target subfolders (e.g. Meetings/ or DuRT_Notes/).
• One-Click Awakening: Generates an obsidian://open?vault=...&file=... URI receipt to jump straight to the note.
