Medium To Markdown Export

Export any Medium article to clean, Obsidian-compatible Markdown with one click.

FEATURES
• Copy as Markdown — paste directly into Obsidian, Notion, or any editor
• Download as .md — save articles as Markdown files
• Send to Obsidian — deliver notes straight to your vault via the Local REST API plugin
• YAML frontmatter — optional metadata block with title, author, source URL, and dates
• Smart extraction — strips Medium UI clutter (claps, follow buttons, sign-up prompts, recommendations)
• Code block support — preserves fenced code blocks with language detection
• Image toggle — include or exclude images from the output

FULLY LOCAL

certificate setup required.
