Obsidian Tab Group Exporter

Export Chrome tab groups to Obsidian-ready Markdown notes in one click

Problem
Researchers and knowledge workers often have many tab groups in Chrome and want to organize those resources into Obsidian, but manual copy-pasting is tedious. Existing tools either only support bookmarks or have incompatible formats. Someone built TabVault specifically for this, showing clear demand and a lack of established tools.
Solution
A browser extension or small desktop tool that reads Chrome tab groups and converts them into structured Markdown files (with titles, URLs, groups, and notes), saved directly to a specified Obsidian vault folder. Supports custom templates and metadata.
Users
Obsidian users, researchers, knowledge management enthusiasts
MVP
Chrome extension reads current window's tab groups; generates Markdown file (list format with links and group headings); saves to a specified directory via file system API; supports simple template variables
Revenue
One-time purchase (e.g., $5-10) or freemium (free basic export, paid for batch/custom templates)
Why now
Obsidian's user base is large and growing; tab groups are a common Chrome feature, yet bridging tools are scarce—quick for indie developers to build
