# TDM for Obsidian Summary: Simple guide for the desktop-first TDM Obsidian plugin. The plugin shells out to the installed tdm CLI so creators can connect once, make the current note payable, check balance, and request payout. Status: Public beta plugin guide Topics: - Obsidian monetization - TDM for Obsidian - payable note flow - paid note unlock - creator balance - publisher payout Packages: - tdm-sdk - tdm-obsidian Commands: - npm install -g tdm-sdk - tdm connect - tdm unlock --json - tdm balance --json - tdm payout request --json
The Obsidian plugin is the fastest creator path for people who want a simple workflow: open a note, set a price, and turn it into a payable public link without learning the full TDM stack first.
Install
Plugin
Default mode. Best for paid reading, courses, premium notes, and human-first note access. The plugin opens the unlocked content without writing a new note into your vault.
Better for reusable knowledge, skills, and agent-oriented workflows. The plugin writes an unlocked sibling note into your vault so the content can be reused locally.
Step 1
Install the tdm CLI once.
Step 2
Set your public notes base URL in plugin settings.
Step 3
Run TDM: Connect once.
Step 4
Run TDM: Make current note payable on the note you want to sell.
Step 5
On the buyer side, run TDM: Unlock current note to fetch the paid delivery payload.
If you want the more general CLI and SDK surface after your first note flow, continue with the SDK and CLI reference or the simple start-here guide.
