Obsidian is a personal knowledge base and note-taking software application that operates on Markdown files.[3][4] It allows users to make internal links for notes and then to visualize the connections as a graph.[5][6] It is designed to help users organize and structure their thoughts and knowledge in a flexible, non-linear way. The software is free for personal use, with commercial licenses available for pay.[3][7]

However, in the context of personal knowledge systems, the last year has seen an explosion of 'Personal Knowledge Graph' (PKG) tools such as 'Roam Research', 'Obsidian', and 'Notion', which digitise and personalise this powerful concept.
