As long as they are plain text / markdown.ĥ- The endless expandability of Obsidian’s capabilities. Or markdown editor/viewer to stay with the formatting.Ĥ- You can work edit your notes, with any app that you like, and Obsidian will continue to work with them. You can open them with any common text editor. It sits on your computer, or whatever cloud storage you use, like Dropbox, Google Drive, pCloud, iCloud, etc.ģ- All your notes are in plain text (markdown for formatting) files. There are paid add-ons, like sync, and publish.Ģ- Your data is yours. What are the main advantages of using Obsidian?ġ- It is free. I think it is impossible, to not commit to Obsidian - till death do us part. And once you have the hang of it, there is just no going back. Everything falls into place very quickly. I recommend you stick to it, and give it a few days. When you first start with Obsidian, it looks a bit overwhelming. Notion didn’t satisfy me, like Evernote used to. Notion was the only choice that came VERY close to being my new love - but it didn’t work out. Evernote does spoil you in some ways, which could make it hard to break up with it. But they all fall short, in one way or another. There are many choices, and I spent the last few weeks experimenting with almost each one. Evernote is now a big, heavy blob, with many people complaining about it online. As most rewrites are, this was a complete screw-up.
