Booxidian watches a folder for Onyx Boox exports and imports them into your Obsidian vault automatically - reading-note highlights, handwriting PDFs, and annotated PDFs. Desktop only. UI and notes in English and German.

Features

  • Reading-note highlights (.txt / .md) - both firmware layouts (V1 and V2), one note per book or per book page.
  • Handwriting PDFs - pen strokes reconstructed to a lossless SVG, plus optional text transcription (Claude, OpenAI, a local LM Studio / Ollama server, or on-device Apple Vision via the companion PDF2MACMD plugin).
  • Annotated PDFs - the PDF copied into the vault + a companion note quoting each highlight verbatim, with #page=N deep-links.
  • Deduplication by content hash - re-scanning never creates duplicates.
  • Folder watcher with a configurable polling interval (works with Syncthing, BooxDrop, cloud folders, USB mounts, or a vault subfolder).

Install (manual)
