Idealite Obsidian Plugin

Transform your note-taking into progressive learning. Upload your markdown notes to Idealite where they're enhanced with AI-powered features like automatic tagging, flashcard generation, and intelligent organization.

How Idealite upgrades progressive summarization into progressive learning

• Turn distillation into action: Instead of endlessly shrinking notes into smaller blocks, Idealite converts them into flashcards you can do right away.
• Automates the busywork: Hit save, and the app auto-tags your note, adds rich metadata, and generates flashcards
• Surface real gaps: Idealite tracks which cards you miss, back-links to the exact passages you struggle with, and puts only those in your queue.
• Keeps you in the 'active' zone: By skipping everything you've already mastered, every session is deliberate practice, not passive reading.
• Extra features
  • Built-in metrics
  • Method-of-Loci 2.0

Quick guide: adding front-matter that Idealite understands

1. Put a YAML block at the very top of the note

• Begin and end with ---, no blank lines before the opening fence.
• Use spaces (not tabs) for indention.

2. Adding books

• Write each entry as "Title by Author" (or an object with title & author)

books:
  - Atomic Habits by James Clear
  - { title: "Peak", author: "Anders Ericsson" }   # object form also works

• During upload Idealite hits OpenLibrary, fetches cover art & metadata, and links the book to your note.

3. Adding URLs

urls:
  - https://www.gatesnotes.com/Energy/My-new-favorite-battery-breakthrough
  - https://x.com/someuser/status/987654321

• Each URL is looked up (Twitter/X or generic open-graph) and saved as a resource, complete with title, description, preview image, and publication date when available.
