Integrations on Arivu

X Bookmarks Integration

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu can import bookmarks from X when an administrator enables the optional OAuth integration. Imported links enter the same Library and background processing pipeline as other captures.

Prerequisites

An X developer application with OAuth 2.0 enabled
Confidential client credentials
A public HTTPS APP_URL

Configure the callback as:

https://your-domain.example/settings?section=connections

Request the scopes bookmark.read, tweet.read, users.read, and offline.access.

Configure Arivu

Prefer Admin settings for routine runtime configuration. The environment fallback is:

X_INTEGRATION_ENABLED=true
X_CLIENT_ID=your_x_client_id
X_CLIENT_SECRET=your_x_client_secret
APP_URL=https://your-domain.example

Set X_REDIRECT_URI only when you need to override the callback derived from APP_URL.

Browser Extension Setup

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Manifest V3 extension captures pages, links, and selected text into your own Arivu instance. Custom domains are configured from the popup. You do not need to edit manifest.json or source files.

Install an Unpacked Development Copy

Chrome

Open chrome://extensions/.
Enable Developer mode.
Choose Load unpacked.
Select the repository’s extension/ directory.

Firefox

Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
Choose Load Temporary Add-on.
Select extension/manifest.json.

Connect Your Instance

Open the extension popup and choose Settings.
Enter https://your-domain.example/api as the API URL.
Approve the browser permission request for your Arivu origin.
Sign in to Arivu in the same browser profile and visit the app once.

The extension dynamically registers the token content script for the approved origin. It exchanges your web session for an audience-scoped extension token through /api/auth/extension-token; no manifest modification is required.

How to Use Arivu + Notion for the Ultimate Second Brain

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu and Notion overlap, but they are useful for different reasons. The cleanest setup does not copy everything between them. It gives each tool a clear job.

Use Arivu as the private knowledge workspace where sources enter, notes connect, and research remains traceable. Use Notion when a result needs to become a shared page, structured database, project brief, or team document.

A practical division of work

Work	Arivu	Notion
Capture links, quotes, and files	Primary	Possible with Web Clipper
Write and link private research notes	Primary	Useful for structured pages
Search saved source text	Local full-text search	Workspace search
Inspect a knowledge graph and Insights	Primary	Not the central model
Publish a shared brief or team wiki	Supporting export	Primary
Run collaborative databases and projects	Not a full PM tool	Primary

Notion’s official Web Clipper can save a page into a chosen workspace page or database. That makes it convenient when the destination is already known. Arivu is a better first stop when you want the source to remain connected to annotations, notes, backlinks, graph relationships, and later evidence.

How to Use Arivu + Obsidian for Knowledge Management

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu and Obsidian can complement each other, but neither has to be a companion app for the other.

Arivu is a self-hosted second brain for captured sources, notes, explicit links, full-text search, a bounded graph, and evidence-backed Insights. Obsidian is built around a local folder of Markdown files and a broad ecosystem of plugins. The useful pairing depends on where you want your durable writing to live.

Choose an authoritative home

The worst integration is two-way manual duplication. Editing the same note in two places creates conflicts and turns portability into maintenance.
