It was time to ditch Evernote YEARS ago. Obsidian is basically the best alternative.

At 8$/month for sync between devices I hope it has some qualities…

I’ve been using obsidian-livesync for a couple months now. Works great cross-platform since it runs directly out of my Vault and doesn’t cost $8/mo. Mine is running on fly.io right now but I may eventually move it to my own machine. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/

I can’t help feeling like Obsidian really missed the mark on their pricing here for hobbyist & home users. I can’t justify paying substantially more than something like iCloud or Google Drive storage when I’m using Obsidian to just sync some text and a few documentation images. Something like $1-2/mo would have been an instant buy for me, but at $8 it was worth my time to investigate other ways of syncing.

Don’t tell them that. I’ve been saying the same thing for ages and I get slammed by their community for it.

I don’t get it. Imas you say it’s really missed the mark on pricing. I’d gladly pay for a sync option. But 8€\month? Eff offfff. I have like 500MB of data. I know that’s not everyone’s case but. Is there not some tier? Cripes

You could try AnyType - they offer 1gb free

It’s completely local if you want, and you absolutely don’t need to pay money for syncing. The entire app is absolutely free and fully functional. If you want free syncing you can either use iCloud, or else the RemotelySave plugin with something like Syncthing or Duplicati.

What are the advantages of using the plugin (Remotely Save) over just using dumb sync with Syncthing? Conflicts I assume?

Not everyone has Apple and the ability to mount cloud (iCloud) as local storage.

Syncthing is foss software I use for that, they don’t try in anyway to hinder you syncing using third party. Their paid option is just how they monetize

I use synching to sync all my notes across different devices. It has been working well for me so far.

Same here. Do you exclude any plugin files or workspace folders? If so, how can I do that. My Android version of Obsidian makes lots of conflicts.
