How to sync Obsidian Notes on iOS

1. Download iSH from the AppStore

2. Open iSH and install rclone and nano with the following command:

apk add rclone nano

3. Create a new remote using

rclone config

4. Open your .profile file to add the push and pull commands

nano ~/.profile

5. Add the following lines to your profile

pull() {
    rclone sync -P "REMOTE_NAME:NOTES_PATH" ~/Notes
}

push() {
    rclone copy -P ~/Notes "REMOTE_NAME:NOTES_PATH"
}

6. Create a directory to mount your notes on iSH

mkdir ~/Notes

7. Mount the Obsidian folder on iOS to the iSH app. After running the following command a file selection dialog will appear, select your local Obsidian vault.

mount -t ios . ~/Notes

8. Restart the shell by quitting the iSH app or executing exit.

9. Run pull to sync the notes from your remote machine to the iOS device. Run push to upload the files on the iOS device to the remote machine.

Notes

Note that the pull command will perform an rclone sync action instead of an rclone copy. An rclone sync will make the iOS vault identical to the remote, this means that it will delete any file on the local vault that is not present on the remote.

im not expert but i think you need do this manually E>
