A knowledge base made of local files

Obsidian is a note and knowledge app for Android. Its notes are plain-text Markdown files kept in a local folder, so the collection is based on files rather than a format described as exclusive to the app.

It suits someone who wants to carry a personal set of notes and browse them from a phone or tablet. The listing does not describe specific note-taking workflows or say whether every desktop feature is available on Android.

See the collection as a graph

The app includes a graph view, offering a way to look at the knowledge base as a graph rather than only as individual files. The listing does not explain what connections appear there or how the graph is configured.

Community plugins are also available. They provide an extension point for adding functionality, but the listing names no particular plugins or explains which ones work on Android.

Get to actions and share content

A customizable toolbar lets people choose what appears among its controls. Pull-down quick actions provide another route to actions without relying only on the toolbar.

Obsidian can receive shared content and share content out. The listing does not name supported content types or destinations, so those details are not specified.

Appearance and practical terms

Themes let people change the app's appearance. On tablets, the sidebar can be pinned, giving the app a sidebar option for that form factor.

The Play listing does not state whether an account is required, whether ads appear, or whether subscriptions or paid unlocks apply. It also does not explain what, if anything, is excluded from a free version.
