Canvas to Obsidian Sync

Bridge your Canvas LMS coursework directly into your Obsidian vault as clean, beautifully formatted Markdown notes. Canvas to Obsidian Sync is a privacy-first companion extension designed for students, researchers, and educators who use Obsidian for knowledge management and note-taking. With a single click, extract course modules, assignments, discussions, announcements, and complex pacing guides directly from your active Canvas course and import them into your local vault. KEY FEATURES: ✓ Pre-Sync Course Customization: Auto-detects course codes (e.g. CSOL-500) and course titles with editable fields before syncing, letting you verify and customize folder names in advance. ✓ Clean Markdown Conversion: Converts Canvas pages, syllabus documents, and complex pacing tables into clean GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) tables without raw HTML tags or messy inline CSS styles. ✓ Complete Course Hierarchy: Organizes modules, assignments, rubrics, and discussion prompts into a structured vault folder hierarchy with configurable templates (e.g., `{{courseCode}} - {{courseName}}`). ✓ Embedded Visuals: Inlines authenticated Canvas course images and diagrams directly into your notes so your materials remain readable offline. ✓ Privacy-First & Local-Only: All processing runs locally in your browser. Data is transmitted exclusively to your local Obsidian desktop application via a secure loopback connection (127.0.0.1). Zero cloud servers, zero telemetry, zero tracking. HOW TO USE: 1.
