Obsidian for macOS
Obsidian is a personal knowledge base and markdown editor designed to work over a local folder of plain text files. By storing everything locally rather than inside a proprietary cloud database, it ensures complete ownership over your documents. Its bi-directional linking allows you to build an interconnected web of notes that mimics the way you think.
