Obsidian Wiki Ingest

By Agrici Daniel

Turn articles, notes, and files into linked, source-cited pages in your Obsidian vault.

Defuddle

By Steph Ango (Kepano / Obsidian)

Turn messy web pages into clean notes — no ads, no clutter, just the content you need.

Obsidian Wiki Ingest

• Reads pasted text, files in your vault inbox, or web links you approve
• Extracts key claims, people, concepts, contradictions, and open questions
• Creates or updates linked notes only when the source adds something new
• Tracks the source behind every claim so you can trust and check it later
• Shows a full preview of planned changes before writing to your vault

Defuddle

• Removes ads, navigation, and clutter from any web page
• Extracts clean article text in a note-friendly format
• Pulls out key metadata like title, description, and domain
• Saves cleaned content to files for later reference
