I have probably searched "Obsidian CLI" once a month since I started playing around with AI over a year ago. This is pretty exciting.

If that were true Obsidian would not allow third-party sync plugins in the official directory, and wouldn't mention third-party options in the official docs: https://help.obsidian.md/sync-notes The goal for Obsidian Sync is to be the best option, not the only option.
I just tried just to see if something changed, and I get this message when selecting Other: ############### Other Syncing Methods: Obsidian officially supports two syncing methods: Obsidian Sync and iCloud. However, because obsidian gives you control over your data there are other sync options you can use. These options include third-party plugins and other tools which may require more advanced setup.

#143Oh! I worked on this project. If anyone has questions, I'll do my best to answer them!
Do you have a good starting point or explanation to share about using obsidian for a team, where we all change/sync files?

If your team is more technical Git is an option. If you want completely control over permissions and configuration then a shared drive is probably better.

There are several community plugins for Google Drive. Did you try those?
Since my only ask was really for a workaround or a link to a solution, I'm guessing there isn't one available, and the suggestion is more about exploring community plugins?

Thank you for making Obsidian! I am wondering if you have any plans to package the headless sync client up for container use in Docker or Podman? Also, is the Obsidian CLI available when obsidian-headless is installed? Or is obsidian-headless only a sync client at this time?

#146How’s their mobile all these days? Along with sync that was the other blocker for me always.
Mobile app is pretty good, my biggest complaint is it won't sync in the background. It only syncs when you open it up. But it's well designed and fully functional.

I've been using iCloud to sync Obsidian, and have consistently run into the problem that iCloud file container access needs full disk permissions that I don't want to give the agent (or Ghostty). Does everybody use Obsidian's paid sync instead or what? Or SyncThing?
I gave up on iCloud sync. After the tenth time iCloud absolutely destroyed my vault’s file layout and scattered copies of my files all over my iCloud Drive, I just gave up and shell out for paid sync now. It’s fine. I don’t mind paying for things I get actual value from.

#148Also new: Obsidian joins the CLI gang https://help.obsidian.md/cli I’ve been having a lot of fun recently using AI CLIs with Obsidian. No plugins necessary because it’s just a directory tree of markdown files.
It's not super useful yet- you can't really view notes in the CLI but you can can trigger features like search.
Fixes all the problems I've had about "In what order do I put this data" and flipping back and forth in a huge stack of papers.

I use Obsidian with my Claude (and Codex) but not sure what additional value the CLI would provide since it's just markdown files. What am I missing that a CLI provides for AI? And not sure how the sync fits into it unless there's a copy of the vault that the AI is working with over CLI? Can use a tip.
