Intent

I need it when

Extend note-taking functionality with custom workflows and integrations

Obsidian's open API and thousands of community plugins allow users to tailor the app to their workflow. Plugins enable calendar views, kanban boards, advanced queries, task tracking, and custom automation.

Publish personal knowledge base or digital garden to the web with minimal technical effort

Obsidian Publish converts notes into a fast, SEO-optimized website with customizable themes, password protection, and full-text search. Users can publish instantly from the app without coding knowledge.

Organize personal knowledge and ideas into an interconnected personal wiki

Obsidian enables users to create linked notes with backlinks, tags, and graph visualization to build a personal knowledge base. The open file format and local storage ensure long-term data ownership and accessibility.

Maintain private, secure notes that remain under user control without vendor lock-in

Obsidian stores all notes locally as plain text Markdown files on the user's device, ensuring privacy and preventing lock-in. Optional end-to-end encrypted Sync service allows secure multi-device access while maintaining data ownership.

Capture and manage research, brainstorming, and project planning in a flexible workspace

Canvas provides an infinite space for diagramming and laying out ideas. Combined with plugins like Kanban and Tasks, users can organize research, brainstorm visually, and track project progress without rigid structure.
