Grabito + Obsidian

Don't pollute your
second brain

Your knowledge base should contain insights worth keeping forever. Daily reading? That's noise. Use Grabito as your reading inbox and only promote what truly matters.

The problem with saving everything to Obsidian

Vault bloat

Hundreds of clipped articles make your vault slow and hard to navigate.

Graph pollution

Your beautiful knowledge graph becomes a mess of unrelated articles.

Search noise

Finding your own notes becomes harder when buried under random web content.

Sync overhead

More files means slower sync across devices, especially with Obsidian Sync.

Decision fatigue

"Should I link this? Tag it? Where does it go?" — friction that slows you down.

Lost signal

Your original thoughts get drowned out by imported content.

A better workflow

Use the right tool for each job. Grabito handles the reading. Obsidian holds the knowledge.

1. Capture in Grabito

Save articles freely. No friction. Read when you have time.

~50 articles/week

2. Move to Obsidian

Only promote articles with lasting value to your vault.

~2-3 articles/week

Result: Your Obsidian vault stays focused on ideas that matter
