Obsidian, developed by Dynalist Inc., is designed for individuals who face the challenge of organizing a vast amount of information, thoughts, and research in a way that fosters connections and new insights. Many of our users are writers, researchers, students, and professionals who are looking for a more flexible and powerful way to manage their knowledge than traditional note-taking apps allow. They need a tool that adapts to their unique way of thinking and doesn't lock their valuable data into proprietary formats. Our customers often struggle with fragmented information spread across multiple platforms, making it difficult to see the bigger picture or make novel connections between ideas. They are looking for a private, secure, and future-proof solution that puts them in control of their data. Obsidian addresses these challenges by providing a local-first, plain text-based system where users can create a personal knowledge base. Your data is stored on your device, ensuring privacy and accessibility. We believe that your thoughts and ideas belong to you and deserve complete privacy.

Our customers value the ability to create bi-directional links between notes, forming a network of knowledge that can be visualized as a graph. This helps them to discover relationships and patterns they might otherwise miss. The challenge of tool rigidity is overcome by Obsidian's high degree of customization through themes, plugins, and custom CSS, allowing users to tailor the application to their specific workflow and preferences. For those who need to access their notes across multiple devices or share their work, we offer optional add-on services like Obsidian Sync and Obsidian Publish, which are built with the same commitment to privacy and data ownership, utilizing end-to-end encryption for maximum security. We understand that our users invest significant time and effort into building their knowledge bases, which is why we are committed to open file formats to prevent vendor lock-in and ensure long-term data preservation. Obsidian is 100% supported by its users, not investors, which allows us to stay true to our core principles of providing tools that are free for personal use, durable, private, and malleable. This customer-centric approach ensures that we remain focused on empowering our users to think more clearly and organize their ideas effectively.
