It was helpful in importing and reading markdown notes that I had exported from Mac Notes. > > **Cons**: Markdown based syntax does take some time getting used to ----- ### "A full featured truly cross-platform knowledge management package" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *11 January 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: For those working across PC, Mac, Linux and mobile Obsidian offers parity of functionality on each platform making switching effortless.A wide range of options for backend storage ensure that you can keep ownership of your notes whether on a public cloud, private cloud or local files. And the notes remain human readable and editable even without the package making them future proof.The active community provides a wide range of add-ons that enhance the functionality and customise it to your needs. You can also tailor the add-ons and settings for each collection of notes. > > **Cons**: Owning your own notes requires you to invest some time and effort in configuring the backend storage, and not all options are supported on all operating systems. However the developers offer foolproof cloud hosting as a paid alternative. > > Obsidian has proven to be the OneNote alternative which treats Linux as a firstclass platform. Also, having seen hosted/proprietary services disappear over the year it is a great comfort knowing I own my own notes and will be able to access them without any special software. ----- ### "Obsidian for Personal Information Management (PKM)" — 4.0/5 > **Glen** | *3 November 2024* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Obsidian is free to use, and I sync it between all of my devices via iCloud. It's a great way to store lots of information and to cross-link everything. Before, I used to add snippets to lots of note-taking apps and forget where I had put it. > > **Cons**: It has a learning curve based on mark down language, but the plugins that you can add to it can make it more user friendly. It is not a million miles away from how Notion works. > > A learning curve, but plenty of info and demos out there to help. a great information storage device. ----- ### "Obsidian is phenomenal and Obsidian Sync is worth the cost." — 5.0/5 > **Jesse** | *12 July 2022* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that I can structure my notes however I'd like: I can put things in a traditional hierarchy with folders, I can relate notes together with embedded links and connections, and I can create notes associated with neither. For me, I get the benefits of OneNote (hierarchy), Roam Research (association), and Apple Notes (randomly throwing a note in that you can't associate with anything else). Obsidian Sync is by far the best way to sync your vaults. I used iCloud at first, which worked well on apple products, but worked terribly on windows. Sync made it all real-time with no note duplication. > > **Cons**: To use the great functionality, you have to learn Markup and you have to understand how the software works (vaults, local storage, and sync). Having a normal text formatting tab (like OneNote) and improving the sync interface/wizard would make this app absolutely incredible. > > Great ----- ### "Amazingly customisable note-taking tool" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *10 January 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Obsidian has many great features I love - the ability to customise it for your specific needs it fantastic. The search and linking functionality allow me to quickly and easily get whatever data I need. The extensive range of community add-ons mean that extra features are just a couple of clicks away. > > **Cons**: Hard pressed to think of anything, it's an almost perfect tool\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2067886/obsidian?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2067886/obsidian) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
