About Obsidian

Obsidian helps people develop a connected collection of notes rather than a folder of unrelated documents. Write in local Markdown files, link an idea to another note, and use graph or canvas views when a visual connection helps explain the subject. It suits students, writers, researchers, and anyone building a personal reference library over time. Plugins and themes can adapt the workspace, but a small, consistent note structure is a useful starting point. The core app is free, including commercial use. Sync across devices and Publish to the web are optional paid services. Keep a backup plan for the local files you maintain.
