Why Obsidian
Obsidian is a local Markdown-based note-taking tool. Unlike Notion, your data lives entirely on your own hard drive, independent of any cloud service.
Core Concepts
Bidirectional Links. Use [[Note Name]] to create links. Linked notes automatically show backlinks, forming a knowledge network.
Graph View. Visualize all connections between notes — the inspiration behind this site’s knowledge graph design.
