About:
Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files. It provides a rich set of features like bidirectional linking, graph visualization, and a vast ecosystem of community plugins to enhance your productivity. This makes it an ideal tool for building a personal knowledge management system or 'second brain'.
Key Features:
  • Bidirectional linking and backlinking
  • Graph view for visualizing connections
  • Extensive plugin ecosystem
  • Local-first and offline-capable
  • WYSIWYG Markdown editor
Use Cases:
  • Personal knowledge management (PKM)
  • Note-taking and journaling
  • Technical documentation and writing
  • Project management
Alternatives:
  • Notion – Cloud-based, less flexible, subscription model
  • Logseq – Open-source, outliner-focused, block-based
  • Joplin – Open-source, end-to-end encryption, simpler UI
