I have both on iOS and I have to say I much prefer Obsidian.
Although Joplin is FOSS, Obisian uses plain text files rather than a database which is a massive plus to me, personally.
Also, Obsidian UI is light-years ahead of Joplin's. It's interesting that (IIUC) Obsidian is also not native but it feels completely native when compared to Joplin.
Also most Obsidian plugins work fine on desktop and mobile and the ecosystem is visibly growing. I don't think Joplin's plugins are really getting a huge traction.
All in all, Obsidian replaced most other apps I used (Bear, Noteplan, Evernote). The only thing I can imagine replacing Obsidian is LogSeq if they get their mobile app right.
- nsriv 5y agoDo you have any tips for making Obsidian function like Noteplan? I'm out of the iOS/Mac ecosystem but love how it works.
- rvieira 5y agoI use a few plugins to manage tasks: - "Calendar" to organise daily notes (my "inbox") - "Tasks" and "Rollover Daily Todos" - "Checklist" for a unified todo view "Day Planner" seems cool, but I haven't played with it.
- nsriv 5y agoThank you! These look great, will tinker with these over the weekend.
- inside_out_life 5y agoUnfortunately Obsidian cannot replace apps like Agenda or noteplan for me, because it doesn't sync with external calendars. I still use it for most stuff though.

- nsriv 5y agoAppreciate it, thank you! I'm looking for Obsidian to be more of a replacement to Noteplan though.
