Gathers information from academic papers, news, social media, and web search in one place.

Obsidian CLI

By Steph Ango (Kepano / Obsidian)

Control your Obsidian notes from anywhere — create, search, and organize without opening the app.

Multi-Source Research

• Searches academic platforms (arXiv, Google Scholar), news sites, social media (Twitter/Weibo trends), and general web search at once
• Removes duplicate information and merges similar content to give you the unique insights
• Rates sources by credibility (official sources rated highest, social media lowest) so you know what to trust
• Organizes findings into a structured report with sections for academic references, news coverage, and social sentiment
• Highlights questionable information and notes when sources conflict

Obsidian CLI

• Creates and reads notes in your Obsidian vault
• Searches across all your notes and finds backlinks
• Appends content to notes including daily notes and tasks
• Updates note properties and manages tags
• Captures screenshots and inspects vault structure for developers
