Remosidian
Ask your Obsidian vault from your phone

Pair once with your Mac, browse files, search notes, and ask local AI through the CLI host or private Obsidian plugin without moving your vault to a cloud workspace.

Ask With Vault Context

Send questions from your phone while Claude or Codex runs on the paired host.

Browse Obsidian Files

Open folders, read Markdown notes, and follow Obsidian-style wikilinks.

Local-first Host

Your vault stays on the Mac, whether you start the CLI host or the private Obsidian plugin host. The phone is a paired remote.

Remote Ready

Connect locally first, with optional relay or stable-host settings when you need them.

QR Pairing

Scan a short-lived QR code and connect without creating an account.

Private Plugin Host

The Obsidian plugin is distributed privately to licensed users. It is not listed in the community plugin directory or marketed as open source.

App Store Screenshots

Real app screens, captured from a demo vault

The screenshots are produced from the public LifeOS Pro PARA demo vault so no private notes, paths, or repository details appear in marketing assets.

Vault Workflow

Your Obsidian vault becomes a paired mobile workspace

Remosidian focuses on the workflows that matter when you are away from the keyboard.

Ask

Ask questions with note context

Use Claude or Codex from the host machine while the phone supplies prompts, quick replies, files, and vault references.

Files

Read the vault without syncing it elsewhere

Browse demo-safe folders, render Markdown, jump through wikilinks, and open sources from answers.

Search

Find notes by filename, text, or tag

Search happens against the paired host, so your vault index and note contents stay local.

Capture

Capture ideas back into Obsidian

Quick capture flows are designed to write into the same vault instead of a separate inbox service.

Host Setup

Choose CLI mode or private Obsidian plugin mode

Both modes expose the same Remosidian daemon protocol. The plugin is a private desktop plugin, not a community marketplace listing.

CLI host

Start from the terminal

From the vault root, run one command to start the host and print a pairing QR code.

cd ~/Documents/MyVault
npx remosidian
Private plugin host

Start inside Obsidian

Install the private Remosidian Host bundle into the vault, then manage pairing from the plugin settings UI.

Obsidian -> private Remosidian Host -> Show QR Code
Pair

Scan the QR code

The phone receives the runtime label, vault id, and available connection paths.

Remote Access

Local first, configurable when you need more

Remosidian uses the same connection vocabulary across the CLI and the private Obsidian plugin host.

Vault rootDefault

Start from the folder you want to serve

Run the command in your vault root and scan the QR code printed by the host.

cd ~/Documents/MyVault
npx remosidian
LAN only

Keep pairing on your local network

Use this when your phone and computer are on the same trusted network.

npx remosidian --local
Custom relay or stable host

Bring your own network path

Pass a public relay URL or a stable host address when your setup needs one.

npx remosidian --relay=https://<your-url>
npx remosidian --host=<stable-host>
Local-first

The vault stays where it already lives

Remosidian is a host-and-phone pairing layer. It does not create another canonical copy of your Obsidian notes.

  • The host reads from the vault path you choose.
  • The phone stores pairing credentials, not a full vault clone.
  • The Obsidian plugin host is privately distributed and not listed in the community plugin directory.
  • AI runs through your local Claude or Codex CLI configuration.
  • You can revoke paired devices from the CLI or plugin host.
FAQ

Operational details before you pair

The short answers to the setup questions that usually matter first.

Does Remosidian require Obsidian to be open?

No for CLI mode. Run npx remosidian against any vault path.

Yes for private plugin mode. The host lives inside the Obsidian process and stops when Obsidian closes.

Can I install the Obsidian plugin from the community directory?

No. Remosidian Host is a private desktop plugin distributed as a release bundle for licensed users, not an Obsidian community plugin listing.

Why does the QR code expire?

Pairing windows are intentionally short-lived. If you miss the window, open a new QR from the CLI or plugin settings.

What should I do when the app says Not connected?

Check that the host is running and that the device is paired with the same runtime: CLI or private Obsidian plugin. If you switch runtime, scan the new QR once.

Can I keep pairing local-only?

Yes. Pass --local for LAN-only pairing, --host for a stable hostname, or --relay for a relay you already manage.
