Who it's for
A retrieval layer for research sources—not another notes app.
Literature lives in PDFs, talks, and tabs. LinkWise keeps the public URLs you chose to save readable and citable, then hands selected notes to Obsidian. It does not replace Zotero, EndNote, or your own writing.
Public pages and videos with captions · not a PDF library
Source → evidence → vault
Use LinkWise to capture and retrieve; keep formal citation and drafting elsewhere.
01
Capture
Save the article, lecture, or method page while you browse.
02
Confirm
Keep keywords around the question, method, or project—not every AI suggestion.
03
Verify
Re-read the body or transcript. Pro Ask must cite a passage you own.
04
Export
Send selected Markdown into Obsidian. Sync is not in 1.0.
What the product actually shows
Capture, cited Ask, and portable export—not a fake second brain.
When this is the wrong tool
Stay in a reference manager for formatted bibliographies. Stay in Obsidian for arguments you write. LinkWise is the web-source inbox and retrieval layer between them.
- Fits: recovering a method page or talk you saved weeks ago.
- Fits: checking a claim against the stored text before you cite it.
- Not for: storing every PDF, paywalled campus dump, or team shared drive.
