7 Reasons I Switched From Notion to Obsidian (And Love It)
1 min read
Summary
Notion and Obsidian are popular note-taking apps, but the former is cloud-based, which means it lacks offline access, and its note organization is page-based, making it less straightforward than folders.
Obsidian takes a local-first approach, meaning all notes are stored locally and synced to devices, which is beneficial for unreliable internet connections and offers faster performance.
Obsidian’s folder-based organization system lets users create folders and subfolders for different projects and migrate notes easily to other platforms.
Obsidian also has Graph View, which shows how notes are interconnected, and an extensive suite of default features, with additional functionality available through plugins.
While Notion has several features, including flexible databases, templates, and third-party integrations, Obsidian’s speed, offline access, and note organization make it a better choice for some users.
