Obsidian is a private, offline-first note-taking application that stores notes locally on your device in open file formats. It supports thousands of community plugins and themes, allowing users to customize their knowledge management workflow. Because it uses plain Markdown files, users retain full ownership of their data without vendor lock-in.
Obsidian reads and writes plain Markdown files stored locally on the user's device, with an extensible plugin system for added functionality.
