Syncing your Cards

We’ve learned in Working with Images that there are three ways of importing your markdown cards.

“Import Markdown File” (with multi-select option)
“Import Markdown Folder”
“Selected Folder to Observe”

The most desired one is where your markdown files are on your phone, and NeuraCache can observe them via “Select Folder to Observe”.

In that scenario, NeuraCache observes the folder (+ subfolders) and traverses it every ~6 hours in the background to create new cards or update the existing ones. You can force the sync anytime via pull-down on the Cards list or use the "Sync" button.

To make the folder act as a single source of truth — make sure you enable "Single Source of Truth"setting

The only question that remains is how to ensure that there is an updated folder of your notes on your device.

There are numerous ways of getting your markdown files from your Desktop to your phone so NeuraCache can consume them.

Here are just some of them:

iCloud (iOS only)

Use any folder synced via iCloud to your iPhone — and observe it from NeuraCache.

Note that sometimes, the changes you make on the Desktop won’t make it to your iOS device immediately (due to how iOS thinks about what to sync between the devices).

To remedy this, we found that disabling “Optimize Mac Storage” helps a lot.

On your Mac, go to “System Preferences” → “Apple ID” and uncheck “Optimize Mac Storage”
