A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

Joplin

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor.
Pricing:
- Open Source
- Free
Has anyone used Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/)? How does it compare to Obsidian? I've used Joplin for a while. It's Markdown so I like it. The UI is dry (compared to Evernote).

While not as feature rich, I found GitJournal[1] to be a good app that supports markdown + git sync. [1]: https://gitjournal.io/.

Pricing:

I've tried Foam but I've landed on Markdown Memo (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svsool.markdown-memo) which also has the Graph view and so on implemented. I use a lot more markdown related extensions too but this is the main one in VSCode.

Notable App

The Markdown-based note-taking app that doesn't suck.
Pricing:
- Open Source
I have used many different note taking tools and I like Obsidian but I am a very happy user of https://notable.app/. I also tried https://www.zettlr.com/ in the past but that one actually edits in preview mode and that made the view really weird. It is good there is a lot of variety in this space...

FSNotes

File system notes manager
Pricing:
- Open Source
I’ve been very much enjoying FSNotes [0] as a replacement for Notational Velocity (and nvALT) which are both abandonware at this point. FSNotes is a native app, is FLOSS and is actively maintained. It lacks some of the advanced features of Obsidian (like Graph View) but it has the essentials (hyperlinks and tag sidebar). [0] https://fsnot.es/.

Hypernotes

Create, share, and understand knowledge in a new way
Pricing:
- Freemium
- Free Trial
Obsidian is definitely a great tool for knowledge management, and now it's even able to do all that on mobile! Personally, I've used our tool Hypernotes (https://zenkit.com/en/hypernotes/). It released with a mobile version of it and also runs of all the platforms and has a web version too. It is also able to do all the features the modern "second brain" note-taking apps offer.

Dendron

Dendron is an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool built on top of VSCode. It supports all the usual features you would expect like tagging, backlinks, a graph view, split panes, and so forth.
Pricing:
- Open Source
- Freemium
- $5.0 / Monthly (Custom domain name for publishing.)
Same for me. I tried to build a [plugin for VScode](https://github.com/madeindjs/vscode-notable) (with a fraction of feature of notable) but I finally moved to [Dendron](http://dendron.so/). I'm happy with it for the moment because I feel less coupled to a Software.

You may want to check out Mochi [0], a markdown based SRS app. Similar to Obsidian in that it is a local-first architecture with a focus on zettelkasten style note cards. [0] https://mochi.cards/.

Athens Research

NOTE: Athens Research has been discontinued.

Open-source, local-first Roam Research
Pricing:
- Open Source
- Free
After searching around (and trying Roam, Obsidian, a bit of Tiddlywiki, etc) I ended up sticking with Athens [0][1]. It's essentially an open-source version of Roam, and it's YC funded. I've found it to already be mature enough to be a good replacement for Roam. [0]: https://www.athensresearch.org [1]: https://github.com/athensresearch/athens.
