Obsidian
The free and flexible app for your private thoughts.
Obsidian is a private, local-first note-taking app that stores all notes as plain text files on your device. It offers a highly customizable experience through thousands of community plugins and themes, allowing users to tailor it to their personal thinking style. Because it uses open file formats, users retain full ownership and long-term access to their data.
Obsidian saves notes as plain Markdown files locally on the user's device and provides a rich interface with graph views, plugins, and themes to connect and manage that knowledge.
knowledge workers, writers, researchers, and anyone who wants to organize their thoughts privately
