Import your vault from Obsidian into Craft with backlinks and attachments.

If you’re moving from Obsidian to Craft, here’s a simple guide to import your content.

Locate your Obsidian Vault Folder on Mac using Spotlight Search

1. Press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight Search on your Mac.

2. Type the name of your Obsidian Vault into the search bar (e.g., “Obsidian Vault”).

3. Select the vault folder from the search results to open it in Finder.

4. Verify the contents

   Inside the folder, verify that it contains your Markdown files (.md) and any associated media, such as images or PDFs.

   

Import the Vault into Craft

1. Open the Craft app on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone.

2. Navigate to the “Organize” or “All Documents” view in Craft.

3. Import your files

   You can either:

   • Drag and drop the vault folder or specific Markdown files directly into Craft, or
   • Use the Import function:

     • Go to three-dot menu (⋯) > Import > Markdown

     • Select the folder or Markdown files from your vault

       

Organize your imported content

• Craft will automatically convert Markdown files into documents.
• Media files (e.g., images) stored in the same folder will also be imported and embedded into the documents.
• Folder structures from Obsidian will be preserved as nested documents in Craft.

• Markdown Compatibility: Your text, links, headings, and lists will transfer seamlessly since Craft supports Markdown.
• Attachments: Make sure all media files are stored in the same folder as the Markdown files for proper import.
• Backup Your Vault: Before importing, create a backup of your Obsidian Vault to ensure your data is safe.
