I started using Notion last year and became increasingly uneasy about how little control I had over the notes and data I was entering into it. I switched over to Obsidian since then, which keeps my markdown files in folders on my local machine which I can then sync myself using OneDrive or something similar. You can also pay like $4/month for Obsidian to sync it for you, but you still retain copies locally.
- caconym_ 5y agoWhoa, Obsidian looks awesome. Thanks for the tip, I'm trying it now and it looks like everything I've been wishing for. Required proprietary cloud is a hard no for me. In today's world of crazy feature churn and products being abandoned if they don't have massive growth and/or millions of users, I don't see why anybody would rely on a tool that doesn't even give them free access to their own data, let alone a binary (or physical product) that will keep working even after support ends.
