Obsidian is a proprietary personal knowledge base and note-taking application that operates on Markdown files.[4][5][6] The software is free for personal and commercial use; only the offered cloud services, optional commercial licenses, and early access versions are paid.[7] It is available as desktop versions for macOS, Windows and Linux as well as for mobile operating systems such as iOS and Android,[8] but not as a web application.
History
[edit]Shida Li and Erica Xu, the two co-founders of Obsidian, met while studying at the University of Waterloo.[9] They collaborated on several development projects before creating Obsidian, including the outliner tool Dynalist.[9][10]: 17
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck and they were left quarantining, they started working on Obsidian. Its development was motivated by shortcomings in other tools like MediaWiki, TiddlyWiki, and other note-taking apps.[11] The idea was to build an app that was extensible like code editors and IDEs.[11][9]
Obsidian's first beta release occurred on March 30, 2020,[12] followed by the launch of version 1.0.0 on October 13, 2022, after two years of beta development.[13][14] In December of the same year, Obsidian introduced its Canvas feature for spatial note-taking.[15]
On February 6, 2023, Steph Ango joined Obsidian as CEO after his contributions to Obsidian version 1.0.0 and involvement in the community. Previously, he had been working at the startup Lumi before it was acquired in 2021.[11][16]
Availability
[edit]Obsidian is available on all major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. It is not available as a web app. Obsidian is free for both personal and commercial use; though they offer subscription-based premium services, an optional commercial license, and one-time payment to access beta versions of Obsidian.[17][9]
Usage
[edit]Obsidian is a note-taking application that works with Markdown files[18][19] and can be used for personal knowledge management and building a knowledge database. It is designed to help users organize and structure their thoughts and knowledge in a flexible, non-linear way.[17]
Obsidian has been used for a wide variety of use-cases, in large part due to the extensibility of the app through plugins, which allow users to tailor Obsidian to their needs by keeping it as simple or advanced as needed.[10]: 145 [20] Some use-cases include writing,[21] task management,[5] and learning.[22]
According to a 2023 Fast Company article, Obsidian estimates it has approximately one million users based on GitHub download counts. The article also reports that the app's Discord server has more than 110,000 members and its Reddit community has about 94,600 members, which ranks it in the top 5% of Reddit communities.[11]
Features
[edit]Obsidian operates on a folder of text documents named a "vault";[23] each new note in Obsidian generates a new text document, and all documents can be searched from within the app.[17][5] Text formatting in Obsidian is achieved through Markdown, with the ability to switch between a raw text (Source Mode) and a pre-rendered (Live Preview) mode while editing.[17]
Obsidian is not prescriptive about how users organize their notes. Bases is a core plugin that enables users to create database-like views of their notes, which can be customized to look like dynamic tables or even maps.[17][24] Canvas, another core plugin, provides a freeform, infinite 2D space where users can arrange and connect notes, attachments, and embedded web pages.[11][15]
