Obsidian

What's Obsidian?

A note creation and linking app that uses simple markdown. It creates text files with the "notename.md" file name system. Folders and notes are held on your computer in a "Vault" that Obsidian sees and processes.

Why I Use Obsidian Daily

Zettelkasten is a older term for note systems that had connectors to small fragments of notes vs. long form notebook systems that are harder to process.

PKM stands for Personal Knowledge Manager. Build one and it will change your life.

Use the Digital Garden concept to publish your notes and reap the creative benefits of Practicing in Public.

Compare Obsidian to other apps such as Notion, Roam, the wonderful Mac/iOS Bear.app (which I also use daily and love).
