✨ Sync Embeds for Obsidian

The missing Notion-style synced block for Obsidian.

---

Sync Embeds transforms standard Obsidian embeds into live, two-way synced blocks. Edit any note or section directly from where you embed it, without ever needing to open the source file.

It's designed to feel seamless, stable, and completely native to the Obsidian experience.

Edit any embed, anywhere, and have it instantly save to the original note.

Core Features

• 🔄 Live Two-Way Syncing: Edit an embed and see the changes reflected in the source note instantly. No more context switching.
• ⌨️ Full Keyboard Shortcut Support: The #1 limitation is solved. Use all your familiar hotkeys for checkboxes, formatting, lists, and more, directly within an embed.
• 🎯 Embed Specific Sections: Isolate and edit just a single header section from a note using the standard ![[My Note#My Header]] syntax. Perfect for managing tasks or project sections from a central dashboard.
• 🚀 Lightweight & Stable: Built from the ground up to be robust, with a focus on stability and a seamless user experience.

How it Works

Instead of just rendering the content, Sync Embeds creates a hidden, fully functional editor pane for the source note. It then cleverly re-parents the visual part of that editor directly into your current document. This means you are interacting with a real editor instance, providing a truly native feel.

Usage

Using Sync Embeds is simple. Just wrap your standard embed syntax inside a sync code block.

1. Create a Synced Block

Use the sync code block language identifier:

![[My Note To Edit]]

2. Embed a Specific Section

You can also embed just a single header section:

![[My Note To Edit#A Specific Heading]]

The content within this block will now be a live, editable instance of the source note or section.

Philosophy

The goal of Sync Embeds is to make your notes more dynamic and interconnected. It removes the friction of editing transcluded content, allowing you to build powerful dashboards, manage recurring tasks, and maintain a single source of truth for blocks of information without ever leaving the note you're working on.
