What is Obsidian?
Obsidian is a note-taking and knowledge management app for individuals and teams who want to organize ideas, research and projects. Notes are saved as plain text Markdown files on the device, and users can link notes, view relationships in a graph, and lay out ideas on an infinite canvas. Thousands of community plugins and themes extend the app, and optional services add end-to-end encrypted sync, version history, shared vaults and publishing notes as an online wiki or knowledge base. The app is free to download, with paid plans for Sync, Publish and Enterprise.
