Connect Pro
Connect Pro is designed to connect Obsidian Desktop to the Official GPT for supported, reviewed vault actions.
Connect Pro requires Obsidian CLI and Obsidian 1.12+.
Continue only after the desktop shows an explicit connected status and a visible Disconnect control. An installed or Active plugin row alone does not prove that the vault is connected.
First verified workflow
- Confirm the current Obsidian and CLI prerequisites shown by the plugin.
- Enable Connect Pro and complete the setup presented by the current build.
- Wait for an explicit connected status and visible Disconnect control.
- Confirm that the GPT identifies the intended vault.
- Choose one low-risk, reversible action shown by the connected interface.
- Review the exact request and target before sending it.
- Compare the GPT confirmation with the resulting state in Obsidian.
- Disconnect when the workflow is complete.
A useful first task is small, clearly named, easy to inspect, and easy to reverse.
What the visible connection proves
| Evidence | What it proves |
|---|---|
| Connected status | The desktop connection reached its current connected state. |
| Disconnect control | The user has an explicit way to end the connected session. |
| Intended vault identified | The GPT is operating against the vault the user expects. |
| Reviewed reversible result | One bounded action completed and was checked on both sides. |
None of these signals make Connect Pro an autonomous background agent, Obsidian Sync, a mobile vault replacement, unrestricted shell access, or permission to run undocumented actions.
Use only current visible actions
The connected interface defines the actions available in the installed build.
- Review the command and target before execution.
- Start with a single-note or read-only task when possible.
- Avoid destructive or broad actions until the smaller path is verified.
- Compare every write with the resulting note or property in Obsidian.
- Disconnect when the connected workflow no longer needs to remain open.
Do not infer an action inventory from older screenshots, announcement copy, or legacy Smart Connect instructions.
Use from another device
The Official GPT can be used from another device only after:
- Obsidian Desktop remains running
- Connect Pro shows an explicit connected state
- Disconnect is visible
- the GPT identifies the intended vault
The desktop still owns the vault side of the workflow.

Installing Connect Pro does not migrate the older setup automatically. Preserve a working configuration until the current migration path is confirmed.

FAQ
Does Connect Pro run a hidden background agent?
Do not assume a connection is running. Require an explicit connected status and visible Disconnect control; otherwise return to setup.
Is Connect Pro Obsidian Sync or a mobile vault replacement?
No. The running desktop vault remains the execution side of the workflow.
What actions can Connect Pro run?
Use only actions shown by the connected interface. Review each request and start with a low-risk reversible task.
Where is the Smart Connect app?
Contact support before changing an existing Smart Connect setup. Installation of Connect Pro does not migrate it automatically.
Is SC App still available?
Contact support to confirm current support and migration options before changing the existing setup.
Is there an OpenAPI endpoint?
Contact support for the currently supported API integration path. This page does not define a separate OpenAPI workflow.
