Overview

Obsidian is a note-taking app built on local markdown files. Your notes stay on your device; you own your data. Linked thinking—[[wikilinks]] between notes—helps build a knowledge graph. Plugins extend functionality. It's popular with researchers, writers, and anyone who wants a powerful, local-first note system. The core app is free; sync and publish are paid add-ons.
