Turn Obsidian into a second brain with a personal AI assistant built in. No coding required.

In this step-by-step Claude Code Obsidian setup tutorial, I walk you through everything: getting a Claude subscription, installing Claude Code on Mac and Windows, and embedding a terminal directly into Obsidian using a community plugin.

Once it's set up, I show you real use cases so you can see what's possible: web searches, logging a work session, searching your vault, and pulling a recipe from the internet into a structured note - all without leaving Obsidian.

Whether you're new to Claude Code or just want a clean setup guide, this gets you from zero to working in under 15 minutes.

Want to go deeper? I run a live, hands-on workshop where we build real workflows together - processing sources, extracting insights, and turning raw material into structured notes. All inside Obsidian with Claude Code.
