Obsidian.md for Notes!
I’ve been using Obsidian to keep track of my life for a few weeks now and I’m very very impressed. It stays out of the way when you want it to and it has a mega-zillion features that are there when I want them.
For me, it has replaced Notion and Dynalist, and my occasional reminders to myself. It’s on track for replacing my Google Docs notes. It’s also keeping my client list straight. If I can figure out how to get it to make my phone ring an alarm at a particular time of day, it’ll replace most of my events as well.
I keep discovering new features and then tell myself, “Self, STOP! You don’t need that shiny bell, or that beautiful whistle.” But then the next week, I’ll be like, “Ugh, what I really need is a tool to… oh look, there it is!”
If you try it, start slow. Just use the Markdown editor to keep some notes. Maybe sync it to your phone. (for $5/month, or a more cumbersome free option), and go from there.
