Ratings and reviews

I've used Obsidian for a couple years. It's a very good note-taking app. Vault (a paid add-on) makes syncing across devices effortless, but other cloud solutions also work. Composing in markdown's fast: your hands never leave the keyboard. It stores notes in markdown, so there's no lock-in: you can open them in a text editor. Once a note is synced to your device, you can reliably get to it even when you're offline. Quirks are in tables (a bit clunky) and the outline (hard to find on phones).

Absolutely excellent. The range of customization is insane. Obsidian is usable in it's core/basic form. I haven't always but, I do pay for the sync feature. You don't have to worry about paywalls getting in the way of how you use the app. The best part is their dedication to privacy, future proofing, and customizability. I really appreciate that the app is accessible. You can practically do anything with this app!

Truly fantastic piece of software. Unfortunately it's slow to load on mobile, making it a bit of a hassle for on the go note taking. I use it for school and I load up all the pdfs for lectures and ebooks on it, which can be read within the app itself. Plugins elevate it further, as practically any functionality you can think of has either been developed, or you can easily develop with the help of an llm. Customizible themes etc. Can be used for notes, journaling, writing, habit tracking, etc.
