About
Local-first note-taking and personal knowledge base app, free to use, with optional paid Sync and Publish services.
Obsidian is a note-taking and knowledge base app that stores data locally on your device. The app is free without limits and does not require sign-up, and it does not collect telemetry or sell user data.
Optional services extend it: Obsidian Sync syncs notes across devices with end-to-end encryption, version history and shared vaults, and Obsidian Publish puts notes on the web with graph view and full text search. A commercial licence is available for work use.
