Overview

Obsidian stores notes as local plain-text Markdown files and helps turn them into a linked knowledge base. It can be extended with core and community plugins, themes, and CSS snippets.

Why it is here

The notes remain ordinary files under your control, while links, search, and graph views make long-term material easier to reconnect.

Good fit for

Writers, students, researchers, and developers who want durable notes without committing their archive to one cloud format.
