![]() It is not user friendly per se like notion but it is much more flexible and once you get the hang of using markdown I think it's much faster. I'm building a personal knowledgebase in the app and I love it. 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. My hope is that they one day offer a graph/network view of a database’s contents, but I won’t hold my breadth.I have used, researched, and thought about more productivity apps than your average nerd… this is simply the best, in all cases. I have begun to stay within DT for shorter outputs, relying on Markdown for text-only documents and grouchily using RTF for documents that require some visuals.ĭT’s interface has gotten better over the years, but I’m still wrestling with it. If something more linear does the job, then that works too.įor me, DT for capture and then Scrivener for any longer form work is my primary way of working. ![]() ![]() So, if Obsidian tickles your brain and makes you super productive, great. That is, as much as I like all the linking, and I get the appeal of Zettelkasten, I’m not convinced that its productivity isn’t in the process of doing than any particular output. I use Devonthink to gather and sort inputs because, first, it offers easy web ingestion, and, second, it offers linking, and, third (and something I learned here in the MPU forums), its creation of a linked annotation document, into which I can also paste highlights, though I wish it were an automated process, works for the kind of research-intensive projects I produce (books, essays, etc.). I love apps like Obsidian, and as much as I find the linking useful, all my outputs are almost always linear. ![]()
