Export to Notion, Obsidian & More
Your highlights, notes, and AI summaries belong in your knowledge base — not locked in another app. SMRY makes it easy to export everything you capture to the tools you already use.
Your reading, your tools
SMRY fits into your existing knowledge workflow. Read and highlight articles in SMRY, then send everything to the platform where you organize your thinking. No copy-pasting, no reformatting. One click and your reading is where it belongs.
Export to Notion
One-click export of highlights, notes, and article metadata to Notion. Each export creates a clean page in your workspace with the article title, source URL, author, reading date, and all of your highlights organized by color. Notes are included inline so your annotations stay in context.
Export to Obsidian
Formatted markdown export for your Obsidian vault. Each export includes article metadata as YAML frontmatter, highlights with colors preserved using callouts, and your notes rendered in clean Markdown. Files are named and structured to drop right into your vault without any cleanup.
Export to Roam Research
Block-based export format compatible with Roam. Your highlights and notes are structured as nested blocks so they fit naturally into Roam's outliner format. Article metadata is included as attributes, making it easy to query and reference across your graph.
Markdown & JSON
Universal export formats for any tool or custom workflow. The Markdown export gives you a clean, portable document you can open anywhere. The JSON export provides structured data with every field — ideal for developers building their own integrations or piping reading data into other systems.
What gets exported
Every export includes the full context of your reading session:
- — Article title, author, and source URL
- — Reading date
- — All highlights with colors preserved
- — All notes and annotations
- — AI summary (if generated)
Built for knowledge workers
Students, researchers, and analysts who need to retain and organize what they read. If your workflow involves reading dozens of articles and distilling them into notes, SMRY's export features save you the tedious middle step. Read, highlight, export — and your knowledge base stays current without the busywork.
