I’ve been bouncing between Notion and Obsidian lately, and honestly—still not sure which one fits better long term.

  • 🧩 Notion: all-in-one workspace, great for collaboration, docs, databases, and beautiful design
  • 🧠 Obsidian: local-first knowledge base, uses markdown, backlink-powered with a graph view that feels like your brain

But here’s where I’m stuck:

Feature Notion Obsidian
UI/UX ✅ Polished, modern 🔲 Minimal, keyboard-first
Offline use 🔲 Limited ✅ Fully offline
Plugins 🔲 Built-in integrations ✅ Huge plugin ecosystem
Team-friendly ✅ Perfect for groups 🔲 More personal, solo-focused

I’d love to hear from you:

  • 👉 Which one are you using?
  • 🤔 Any specific workflows where one shines more than the other?
  • 🛠 Do you mix them or stick to one?

Let’s chat in the comments 👇

I’m especially curious how other devs, writers, students, and creators use these tools differently.
