With iCloud Apple indeed handles well update conflicts in Apple Notes.
I have tried to set up Obsidian or any other Markdown-based notetaking system, the sync is so often and I had to give up. Apple Notes does handle this pretty well. So I finally moved to Apple Notes.
- a_wild_dandan 3y agoI can't do without Obsidian now. Its default graph representation of knowledge matches how my scatterbrain works. It has the creature comforts I've come to expect: simple (local) text storage, a fast command/search palette, gobs of integrations (e.g. Excalidraw for my tablet). Watching one of my knowledge vaults evolve is incredibly satisfying.[1] Obsidian is the only note app that I've stuck with. Notion/Apple Notes/Goodnotes/etc just had excessive pain points. Obsidian "just works" for my brain. Which is a relief, since the productivity app treadmill is exhausting. [1] https://i.imgur.com/IrVy2mk.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/IrVy2mk.mp4
- chazeon 3y agoBut how do you sync on Obsidian? Obsidian Sync?
- steve_adams_86 3y agoSomething I really appreciate about Obsidian is that they seem to be keeping the core application constrained and clearly defined. I worried they would adopt plugins into the application and have things kind of bloat out of control, but they've maintained a clear separation (even now with many plugins not working with Obsidian Publish). That can be a hard line to maintain and protect when you have paying customers and they're doing a great job sticking to what they're good at.
- noname120 3y agoI haven't had any issues with Obsidian Sync. If you attempted to synchronize your vault with iCloud I'd recommend to give Obsidian Sync a try instead.
- yosito 3y agoHonestly, Obsidian with iCloud is so bad, that I'm afraid to pay for Obsidian Sync because half the time the errors and freezing of the Obsidian app seem like they have nothing at all to do with iCloud. It's really hard to tell, because Obsidian doesn't surface any errors, it just randomly freezes and has trouble opening files that should be there.
- noname120 3y agoIt's just n=1 but I haven't had any random freezes or files that failed to open while using Obsidian / Obsidian Sync.
- jimmydoe 3y agoMy experience is the opposite. I lost data twice with Apple iCloud Notes, once with its major upgrade deleted many of my notes, in the other case most my attachments became blank, I'm not on that boat ever again.
- lawgimenez 3y agoI experienced data loss on Messages lately. But, I understand it might take some significant time since I set it to never delete forever.
