How to use Obsidian with Timestripe
What is Obsidian
Obsidian is a note-taking and knowledge management app designed to help you organize and connect information in a non-linear, intuitive way. With bidirectional links, you can effortlessly create a web of knowledge, which can be visualized in an interactive graph view. Serving as your second brain.
Obsidian saves your notes directly on your computer, giving you full control over your data — no more privacy concerns. The app is highly customizable, with a vast collection of community-driven plugins and themes to tailor your experience.

While Obsidian is designed for a non-linear approach, Timestripe is built around a linear perspective. It structures your thoughts along a timeline, helping you plan your tasks for today, tomorrow, and the future. Together, they offer complementary perspectives — providing both a broad knowledge network and a clear strategic roadmap to move forward with your plans.

By embedding Timestripe via the Surfing plugin, this collaboration removes the complexity of starting with Obsidian, making it more approachable and less intimidating. It gives you a straightforward way to use both apps together, and takes your task management and note-taking to the next level — a perfect mix of action and knowledge!
