Export to Notion, Obsidian & More
Send the article you are reading to a connected service, open it in your notes app, or keep a portable file. Each option says whether it is a real connection or a manual handoff.
Your reading, your tools
Connected accounts use provider APIs and show their sync health in Settings. Obsidian, Roam, Markdown, and JSON remain explicit app-link or file exports, so you always know where the article is going.
Export to Notion
Connect Notion and choose a parent page or database in Settings. The first send creates a page with the article source, metadata, and text; sending the same article again updates that page. Without a connection, you can still download Notion-ready Markdown.
Export to Obsidian
Create a Markdown note with article metadata in YAML frontmatter and the available article text. Configure a vault and folder to open the note through Obsidian's app link, or keep the Markdown file yourself.
Export to Roam Research
Copy or download a block-based outline with the article title, source, author, publication date, and available text. It is a manual file format, not an account connection.
Markdown & JSON
The Markdown export gives you a portable document you can open anywhere. JSON preserves the structured article fields available to the export menu for custom workflows.
What gets exported
Depending on the destination, exports can include:
- — Article title, author, and source URL
- — Publication date, site name, and language
- — The article text available in the reader
- — Destination-specific metadata for clean re-import
Built for knowledge workers
Students, researchers, and analysts who need to retain and organize what they read. Connected sources keep saved reading visible in SMRY, while deliberate outbound actions put selected articles in the workspace where they belong.
Frequently asked questions
What formats can I export to?
Notion, Obsidian, Roam Research, Markdown, and JSON. Connected accounts use the provider API; file and app-link fallbacks remain available without a connection.
What data is included in exports?
The article title, source URL, author, publication date, site metadata, and the article text available in SMRY. Exact fields vary by destination.
Do I need a Pro account to export?
No. Signed-in users can use manual exports and configured connected integrations, subject to normal usage limits.
Can I export an entire article?
Yes. When article text is available in the reader, SMRY includes it in supported destination and file formats.
Does it work with Obsidian plugins?
The Obsidian option uses a standard Markdown note with YAML frontmatter and can open a configured vault directly. It does not require a special plugin.
Can I automate exports?
Connected reading sources import on a recurring schedule. Sending the article you are reading to a destination remains an explicit action so you stay in control.
