Finally, I think it would be easier if you *started* on desktop and then *also* worked on your phone. App and desktop/mobile synch are free, but I pay a monthly fee for Obsidian’s synch rather than muss about with settings to manage synch myself. I’m ok with that, but it might drive you nuts.Ģ. You can flip from edit to preview mode to see “pretty” text, but I just look at Markdown all day. WYSIWYG not available yet, so you write in Markdown. Second, for project notes and references, and finally for my personal second brain/zettelkasten, and I work on all three types of notes in the same vault without any confusion.ġ. First, I use it for daily notes, much like a digital bullet journal. Creating a new note is fast and editing your standard Markdown is fast and easy, enough that I never use the Markdown shortcuts bar. The longer I use it, the less and less I open other apps. I’ve used Obsidian desktop since December and the mobile app for a couple of months. Solid performance, fast, flexible, and easy to use With all that - this is THE most valuable tool in the entire Apple ecosystem for my day-to-day work. In my opinion those are higher friction and I’d prefer other tools but if you are a bit technical and like tweaking on your own you will find those useful as well - beware that community plugins can be more hit or miss in the mobile version. Lot’s of available community add-ons provide a wide variety of options for task management, calendar integration, kanban, data analysis and much more. Best functionality is for knowledge management and longer form writing, for both of those it is a distinct pleasure to use. It has spoiled me for any other note app. Support for the developers is only through their publish and sync services, neither is required to use all the functions of the product. Free full functionality in a data format that guarantees you can never lose access to your work. The combination is incredible and the Obsidian developers provide huge value for free across multiple platforms. Have been using Obisidan in beta for the past year and in the mobile beta since its inception. Forget Roam, Logseq, any of the other imitators - Obsidian is your answer. If you need more than basic note tools will give you then this is it. But, the reason I feel so strongly about it, there is an UNENDING level of customizability that comes from the deeply dedicated community and their custom plugins and themes - which the developer personally reviews and approves. The app itself - amazing note taking app right out of the box that does not gate your data - take it and leave whenever you want. I enjoy the desktop version more than the mobile version, but based on the insane features they just dropped on the desktop version (0.16) - I know the mobile version will be perfect at some point. I have paid everything I can at the highest tier because this is my most used tool - but I didn’t really have to pay anything at all. They give you a million outs to not pay them a DIME. They listen to the community but do not let it steer them in the wrong direction. The updates, bug fixes, and announcements are lightning fast. The development is done by a very small, very talented team. I have used, researched, and thought about more productivity apps than your average nerd… this is simply the best, in all cases.
