Interested in buying a Supernote? Like my work? Buy through my affiliate link to support what I do!

Step One: Install Obsidian on Your PC

This should be pretty obvious. ;)

Step Two: Install the Supernote Obsidian Plugin

You can grab this via the Supernote Community Plugin Store, or by checking out the GitHub.

Step Three: Prepare Your Supernote

There are a couple of things you need to do to get your Supernote ready for Obsidian. This will involve installing a file viewing application on your Supernote which will give you access to the whole device.

You need to toggle this feature on to make it possible to install the apps you will need. Go to Settings > Security & privacy and then toggle on Sideloading.

Install the Android Sideloader application on your computer

This is a portable application that lets you easily sideload applications onto your Android device. For Android devices (and iPhones), sideloading is a term for when you install an application without using one of the app stores.

Download the Amaze File Manager APK

You can grab it from this link, or search around online. This is a powerful open-source file explorer application that will give you total access to your Supernote’s hard drive.

Connect your Supernote to your Computer

Use a USB-C cable to connect your Supernote to your PC.

Return to the Android Sideloader Application

In the Android Sideloader Application, ensure that you can see your Supernote in the left-hand menu.

  • Select your Supernote from the menu.
  • Choose the Amaze APK file you downloaded earlier (or drag and drop it).
