User Reviews for Obsidian - Connected Notes
Changes everything
Obsidian is well and truly a game changer. Ever since I downloaded it, I've been putting all my knowledge in here, step by step, linking it together, and creating a second brain. Plugins like Memos let you write down quick notes, Crossbow lets you automatically find tags, and many more. Themes like Anuppuccin let you customize Obsidian to be exactly the way you would like it to be. You can put in images, audio, files, anything, you can style every note to be exactly how you would imagine it, you can view a graph of all the links between your notes, you can create your own encyclopedia, your own personal knowledge base, your own second brain.Obsidian is also a very stable app in my experience, I've only ever had it crash a few times, and it was usually the cause of plugins, which even don't crash that much either. Overall, incredible app, and while it may take a little while to learn how to use for some people, it's not too hard to get the hang of.- PF
Solid performance, fast, flexible, and easy to use
I’ve used Obsidian desktop since December and the mobile app for a couple of months.The longer I use it, the less and less I open other apps. Creating a new note is fast and editing your standard Markdown is fast and easy, enough that I never use the Markdown shortcuts bar.I use Obsidian for three types of notes. First, I use it for daily notes, much like a digital bullet journal. Second, for project notes and references, and finally for my personal second brain/zettelkasten, and I work on all three types of notes in the same vault without any confusion.Couple of caveats:1. WYSIWYG not available yet, so you write in Markdown. You can flip from edit to preview mode to see “pretty” text, but I just look at Markdown all day. I’m ok with that, but it might drive you nuts. 2. App and desktop/mobile synch are free, but I pay a monthly fee for Obsidian’s synch rather than muss about with settings to manage synch myself. Plus it’s encrypted end-to-end.3. Finally, I think it would be easier if you *started* on desktop and then *also* worked on your phone. I think desktop makes it easier to really get into and figure out the workflow and organization system that works for you.Whatever you choose, I definitely recommend you commit and use Obsidian for a couple of weeks to really try it out. It’s so flexible, you need some time kick all the tires and see which ones you like.
Truly The Best
I have used, researched, and thought about more productivity apps than your average nerd… this is simply the best, in all cases. The development is done by a very small, very talented team. The updates, bug fixes, and announcements are lightning fast. They listen to the community but do not let it steer them in the wrong direction. They give you a million outs to not pay them a DIME. 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. 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. 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. 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. I could wax poetic forever. If you need more than basic note tools will give you then this is it. Forget Roam, Logseq, any of the other imitators - Obsidian is your answer.
Using it to write a novel…
And it’s working alright but sometimes the editing of a previous paragraph lets me type but it never overrides the sentence. It’s a weird and annoying bug. Fortunately, I can just leave the vault and come back in. Other than that, I love the cloud syncing and how minimal it all is. Everyone talks about plug-ins and themes, I stay away from all that. I need a decent editor to keep me from becoming distracted and at the base install Obsidian does that. I would probably still use Notion instead but at last, only Obsidian has offline mode. So you win.Edit: So I’ve been using Obsidian for 3 months straight full time and I’m sick of the editing bug. If I type for a good 15-30 minutes and edit any paragraph above, it breaks the editor. I’m now at the point that I’m about to move my project to another application. This was a 4 star app but it’s crazy that in this time the bug hasn’t been fixed.
Notes with values
I’ve tried basically every enhanced notes apps under the sun and Obsidian sets a new standard. Prioritizing plain text, local files and fostering community support is just an excellent combination. I don’t have to worry about not having my notes without internet. I don’t have to read privacy policies to figure out if a service can read my stuff. I just write and feel comfortable knowing that even if Obsidian goes away some day, I’ll always have my writing. That’s not even touching on the stellar feature set and excellent community plugins. Obsidian is great!
Amazing Value
Have been using Obisidan in beta for the past year and in the mobile beta since its inception. The combination is incredible and the Obsidian developers provide huge value for free across multiple platforms. Free full functionality in a data format that guarantees you can never lose access to your work. Support for the developers is only through their publish and sync services, neither is required to use all the functions of the product. It has spoiled me for any other note app. Best functionality is for knowledge management and longer form writing, for both of those it is a distinct pleasure to use. Lot’s of available community add-ons provide a wide variety of options for task management, calendar integration, kanban, data analysis and much more. 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. With all that - this is THE most valuable tool in the entire Apple ecosystem for my day-to-day work.
Best notetaking tool on iOS — for a bunch of reasons
The reason I'm writing this is because the obsidian mobile app has finally been released, much to my glee. 'Glee', that's a word that I hate to describe myself with because it has an almost humiliatingly over-emotional charge to it, but it's fitting enough in this case. The app is excellent. It's excellent for many reasons that set it apart from any other note taking app: - Hyper-customizable shortcuts to do almost anything you could want to do in the app as quickly as possible. With keyboard support. - The same, wonderful network visualization of your entire notebook, complete with tweakable physics. - Custom styles that can be written in pure CSS or selected from the set of community themes - Notes are saved to your phone's files as raw .markdown files which you can do anything you want with later. - You can sync your notes with Obsidian's own "Sync" service, or you can even use Git. iCloud is also an option. - Third party plugins (you can even write your own!) which allow complete changes to app functionality.These features combined are, to me, absolutely staggering to see in an iPhone app. The developers of Obsidian, in porting their desktop application to mobile, have simultaneously created what I think is one of the most powerful tools I've ever had on my phone.
Absolutely love obsidian
I'm building a personal knowledgebase in the app and I love it. 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 love how the software just gets out of the way and supports me without making me have to change my process to adapt to the tool, I can just iterate on my thoughts, link notes, and organize information naturally without thinking about how I want to use information later. For example in notion, you can't build a database from your notes easily or use that information elsewhere outside of it's database quickly but with dataview (community plugin) it's pretty flexible and information that becomes useful later is easier to locate. The new UI overhaul threw me for a loop and I had just gotten pretty fast at the old way and now I have to re-train my thumbs but it does look a little cleaner and more modern now. I wish there would have been a headsup and option to revert back. I mean this is my second brain and now it looks different. It's kind of a shock.
Disconnected from the computer with your info in your pocket.
I’ve been a solid user of Obsidian for a few months, starting with organizing my research for animation. I’m so pleased with how it held all my work for free, with such flexibility, that when they announced it would be a mobile app as well, I was ecstatic! There’s very few places in which the mobile app can’t keep up with the desktop version, and frankly it’s all in the community plugins. The core app without anything additional functions flawlessly, and I’m in love with it. I’m looking forward to more support for community additions in the future. For right now, it’s fantastic just to use sync and keep my information close at hand.
Great app, more to add
This is one of the best note Ive used. Very reliable and fast-reacting. In this way, it beats Notion and Xmind. I love it’s graph function very much! Yet there is of course more to add to make it better. 1. Add a google drive upload button so that we can fast upload and sync files everytime.2. Self editing appearances. I know we have many themes yet there are always somethings we don’t like (font or color or size or positions or pic size) in them. Can we edit these after choosing a theme?3. Better management of files and pics. Everytime when I add a screenshot or file to my work, it appears on the left side bar parallel to main works. I have to build a file case to drag them in and separate them from main works manually. Please give these chips a place to stay.4. More specific functions. This direction will help Obsidian beat Notion totally. Notion as many templates. If we have this option, we can make it a Tally Book, a Reading Extract, a lab log etc. for now, it’s not module-ish enough for a quick stitch for different daily usage.Best wishes to the wonderful team!
