Obsidian Apple Books highlights import plugin

Overview

This plugin aims to be a fast, customizable, reliable, and up-to-date solution to import your Apple Books highlights to Obsidian:

• ⚡️ Fast: It takes less than 1 second to import ~1000 highlights.

• 🎨 Customizable: Use Handlebars and Markdown to customize the output of your highlights the way you want. Check the Template variables section in documentation for more information.

• 🦾 Reliable:

  • Import actual highlights with only the metadata you need. No visual noise with the deleted but still exported highlights, or, on the contrary, highlights and notes that make no sense without the context.
  • Back up your highlights before each import to avoid accidental data loss (optional, but recommended).

• 📚 Dataview-ready: The default template creates highlights in a format that is compatible with Dataview, so you can use your highlights in Dataview queries to unleash possible use cases even further (for example, to create a list of books you've read).

• 🔄 Up-to-date: The plugin is updated regularly to support the latest versions of Obsidian, and Apple Books, as well as react to the users' feedback.
