Getting Started with Obsidian

Obsidian is a powerful knowledge management app that works with local Markdown files.

Why Obsidian?

  • Local-first: Your notes are stored as Markdown files on your computer
  • Linking: Create connections between notes with wikilinks
  • Extensible: Customize with community plugins and themes
  • Privacy: Your data stays on your device

Workflow

  1. Create notes in Markdown format
  2. Use wikilinks to connect related concepts
  3. Organize with tags and folders
  4. Search and discover connections with the graph view
