Pricing
Free to use. €24 once, if you need more.
No subscription, no account, no upsell inside your vault. You install the plugin, you use it, and if you run into one of its limits, Pro lifts them. Everything still runs on your own machine, cloud transcription aside — that one uses your own API key and is off unless you turn it on. Nothing stops working when you stop paying.
The plugin
Free
In the Obsidian community store.
- Handwritten notebooks, page render embedded, transcript underneath
- PDF highlights and pen marks quoted, with block IDs
- EPUB books, quoted under their own chapter names
- Margin notes placed at the passage they point at
- Local transcription — Apple Vision, the managed local model, or your own server
- One tag mapped to one folder
- Zotero papers sent to the tablet, and the note that links the item
- Automatic sync, incremental, one-way
- macOS, Windows, Linux · reMarkable 1, 2, Paper Pro, Paper Pure
Desktop only — Obsidian for Mac, Windows or Linux. Doesn't open? See it on obsidian.md, or in Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → search Tagged Sync.
Pro
€24 once
VAT included · same price worldwide · perpetual licence
Everything in the free plugin, plus five things:
- Sync straight from your tablet — over USB or your own Wi-Fi, without the reMarkable cloud. On a Paper Pro or Paper Pure this needs Developer Mode, which erases the tablet; a reMarkable 1 or 2 needs nothing turned on
- Unlimited tag mappings — one tag per project, each landing in its own folder
- Cloud transcription with your own API key — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or OpenRouter, for when a local model is not enough
- Frontmatter properties — every synced note carries its reMarkable tags and metadata as Obsidian properties, ready for Dataview and Bases queries like "the latest five synced notes"
- Zotero write-back — your tablet marks become native annotations in the Zotero item, plus the Zotero 10 desktop connection and group libraries
Already have the plugin? The same button lives in its settings, next to the key field. If you have not installed it yet, start there — a key needs a vault to be pasted into.
How does the trial work?
14 days, one click in the settings. No key, no email address, no account, no card. The click asks taggedsync.com for the vault's start date, once — that is all the server ever hears from a trial, and it is what makes the trial 14 days per vault rather than per reinstall. It simply stops when it is over — nothing is deleted, and the free features keep working.
What if it is not for me?
14 days, no questions. Write to support@hochbichler.com and you get your money back; the key is deactivated in return.
The seller is Polar Software Inc., merchant of record: it issues the invoice, owes the VAT and handles refunds under Polar's terms. Because the key is delivered instantly, the checkout asks you to waive the statutory 14-day withdrawal right for digital content — the promise above is mine and stands regardless. Details on the licence page.
Why one price and not a subscription?
Because the plugin runs on your machine and costs me nothing to keep running for you. A subscription would be rent for something that already works. Cloud transcription is the one part with a running cost, and that runs on your own API key, billed to you by your provider.
