Obsidian

A local folder of plain text Markdown files serves as the foundation for the knowledge base known as Obsidian. Making and following connections between notes is frictionless thanks to internal links, and the Graph view shows your notes as an interactive map of ideas. Take care of your notes like a gardener, then look at your own knowledge graph at the end of the day. The app is free for personal and commercial use, and you can use it without creating an account; a commercial licence is optional. Extensions are easy to add to Obsidian: set up your own toolkit in minutes with the built-in core plugins and thousands of community plugins.

Your data is stored in a local folder while using the Obsidian application, so it works offline and your notes are not locked into a proprietary cloud service. The exceptional interoperability of plain text Markdown also enables you to utilize any encryption or data processing method that is compatible with plain text files.

Obsidian works well with big displays and short atomic notes. Cross-referencing several notes is simple with Obsidian since its panes may be split indefinitely and resized. Panes can be linked together to display multiple perspectives of the same note or pinned to keep their content in place. Combine panes and tabs, and save the layouts as workspaces to create effective working setups.

Data for Obsidian is kept in a local folder, called a vault, containing Markdown documents. These separate files are combined into a knowledge base that functions as your second brain thanks to the app's strong linking and backlinking features. The core app is deliberately lean, but much more functionality can be added with plugins, themes and CSS snippets, so it can be personalized extensively. Optional paid services, Obsidian Sync and Obsidian Publish, synchronize vaults between devices with end-to-end encryption and publish notes as a website.

It serves as a task organizer, a knowledge source for software development, and a store for notes, ideas, and code snippets for developers. It is praised for its extensibility, code blocks with syntax highlighting, GitHub synchronization through community plugins, Vim key bindings, and programmable hotkeys. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Obsidian allows efficient management and seamless connectivity of knowledge through its integrative Markdown-based system.
