Obsidian is a note-taking and productivity app focusing on providing users with a personal knowledge base. Unlike other similar apps, it uses Markdown files stored locally on devices, offering free access to its core functionalities. Users can subscribe for additional features such as cross-device sync, version history, and web publishing. The CEO, Steph Ango, joined the company in 2023 and is not one of the original founders, which is atypical for a startup. Obsidian's business model stands out for its traditional approach in today’s tech-focused environment.
Obsidian differentiates itself by offering a unique approach to its business, focusing on Markdown-based files that are stored locally on users' devices, completely free to use.
Obsidian charges a subscription for specific features such as cross-device sync, version history, and web publishing, presenting an old-fashioned model in the modern software landscape.
