    File over app

    Steph Ango · July 1, 2023 · stephango.com

    File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom.

    Fonts

    Add fonts installed on your system. Press enter to add a font.

      Typography

      Theme

      Choose light or dark appearance.
      Choose the colors used in reading view.

      Transcripts

      Advanced

      Interpreter

      Use natural language to extract data from pages. For example, you can use the template syntax {{"a summary of the page"}}. Requires an API key or custom model configured below. Learn more.
      Run prompt variables immediately if the template contains any. This will consume API credits with your model provider. Turn off if you only want to run interpreter manually.

      Providers

      By using an external provider you agree to their terms and privacy policy. Interpreter requests are sent directly to the provider you choose. Obsidian does not gather or store any data about your requests.
