One of the things that attracted me to Obsidian was the flat, local file structure that (in theory) would allow me to use other apps on conjunction with Obsidian by accessing the same “vault” (aka, file folder on my computer).

In reality this has been a bit more difficult, as apps vary in terms of how they access files or use file names.

I do use Taio alongside Obsidian on my iPhone and that works well. But curious if there are other apps, particularly on mobile, that play nicely with Obsidian.

I mostly just use Syncthing for syncing the files, and otherwise I let Obsidian do the driving.

I’m fine with Obsidian on desktop and I love that they have a fully-featured app, but the experience on mobile and iPad with the obsidian app is not the best UI experience. I also find it to be a bit buggy at times.

IA Writer works very nicely with Obsidian. The styling looks different, YAML is visible, and anything outside markdown won’t be rendered, but it reads and writes perfectly (although I rarely find a need for it anymore). The iPad app has come a long way but yeah, it’s not perfect yet.

That’s one app I really wanted to try to use but they don’t yet have a trial or monthly subscription option for iOS (supposed to release one). I didn’t want to pay $50 for it just yet.

I hear about Fleeting Notes but I didn’t play with it

Wow thanks! I had not heard about this one. A very good option for quick mobile notes and it works seamlessly with obsidian. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow, I’m definitely going to try this. My current workflow (for two different worldbuilding vaults) is to make quick notes in Google Keep, and then clean them up and import them into Obsidian all together whenever I have the time to.

I used to use Dropbox but now I use Obsidian sync. So nothing else really.

Termux for bash, wget, sed, awk, python scripts and rclone for syncing.

Nothing really. I just use the Git Sync addon to store my notes to Gihub.

I use Working Copy with iOS to automate documentation with git! Highly recommend it: https://meganesulli.com/blog/sync-obsidian-vault-iphone-ipad/

This is great! The app is a bit expensive though but it beats paying monthly for obsidian sync anyways! Love it!
