Nice! I rely on Obsidian a lot for syncing knowledge while working with Claude agents, such as storing research and daily logs to catch up on the prior day’s work. It already works quite well with a custom skill that I build, but this may make the workflow smoother. I also built a cli tool to index embeddings in LanceDB and do semantic search. It helps agents create better internal links between notes. https://github…
What is the use case for this? Not being a dick. I think it's a me problem. I use Obsidian and love it, but I'm struggling to see the appeal of this.
- Automate remote backups - Automate publishing a website - Sync a shared team vault to a server that feeds other tools - Give tools like OpenClaw access to a vault without access to your full computer - Run scheduled automations e.g. aggregate daily notes into weekly summaries, auto-tag, etc

You can use this to sync changes in (near) realtime and then either commit them to git, or use some other mechanism to increase retention.
Then you have two solutions to maintain when one would suffice.

It's literally in the second sentence. Obsidian Sync offers a headless client to sync vaults without using the desktop app. Useful for CI pipelines, agents, and automated workflows
Wait… I’m not supposed to to just use Nextcloud and treat it as a local folder of markdown files? Damn… I’m doing it all wrong!!
I just have my vault sitting in Dropbox ... Not sure what I would gain by moving to Sync?
The thing is that there already is a very good self-hosted option for sync - Livesync. I won't say it's not eccentric and confusing (it is!) but once you get it to work, it actually works extremely well and is lightning fast too. I use syncthing as well for backups but livesync has the obvious advantage of working natively inside Obsidian. I'm so done with subscriptions for cloud based solutions and between livesync…

Does the knowledge graph have a function other than to show off how big your vault is?
Only in 2nd-brain mythology, which holds that you'll discover connections between your notes that you didn't realize was there. I think it started as eye candy to confuse prospective users considering Roam Notes. They later did something similar with their "Canvas" feature. So, these are features you get with their lack of coherent vision, rather than basic usability and a safe plugin ecosystem, neither of which Obsi…

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 have been using remotely save and a free bucket from backblaze. It as a s3 compatible api so works using the s3 feature.
This will save me the overhead of running it in a docker container (I think it used mono or something) so that’s cool. I am still split using Evernote mostly because the experience feels a little more purpose built. I have some annoying usability issues with Obsidian. Control-N starts a new note not in the folder I’m in, but at the top level. Then I have to go move it by hand. Having multiple vaults open winds up wit…

ahhhhhhhhhh I thought it was a hotkey difference, I thought I've gone through all the settings many times, but maybe not. Found it. thank you!
