Reading Inbox Synthesizer
Turn your Obsidian web clipping backlog into reading memory
I clip dozens of articles into Obsidian and never read most of them. A month later I have 40 unread clippings and no memory of which ones mattered. This plugin reads your whole backlog at once and writes a single Reading Synthesis note: a short summary per article, cross-article themes with where sources agree and disagree, a weekly digest, and a list of old clippings worth revisiting or dropping. Bring your own API key. Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
I built this because my own clipping habit was broken. I save articles to Obsidian with the Web Clipper, tell myself I'll read them later, and later never comes. After a few weeks the Clippings folder is just a pile I feel guilty about.
I wanted something that could look at the whole pile and tell me what's in there without me opening 40 notes one by one. So it extracts a short summary and the key claims from each article, then groups them into themes and shows where the sources line up and where they contradict each other. There's a weekly section for what I saved recently, and a "needs attention" list for clippings that have been sitting untouched for months.
It runs on your own API key, no server in the middle, and the report generation itself is free. I'd like to hear how other people deal with their own read-it-later backlog, in Obsidian or anywhere else.
