Obsidian is a local-first, markdown-based note-taking and knowledge management app designed for privacy and flexibility. It allows users to create bidirectional links between notes, visualize connections with a graph view, and customize their workflow using community plugins and themes. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Obsidian prioritizes offline access, giving users full control over their data with local storage and optional end-to-end encryption via plugins. With support for tagging, hierarchical folders, and export options, it is ideal for personal knowledge management and research while ensuring maximum privacy and minimal tracking.
