It was time to ditch Evernote YEARS ago. Obsidian is basically the best alternative.

    At 8$/month for sync between devices I hope it has some qualities..

    I've been using obsidian-livesync for a couple months now. Works great cross-platform since it runs directly out of my Vault and doesn't cost $8/mo. Mine is running on fly.io right now but I may eventually move it to my own machine. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/

    I can't help feeling like Obsidian really missed the mark on their pricing here for hobbyist & home users. I can't justify paying substantially more than something like iCloud or Google Drive storage when I'm using Obsidian to just sync some text and a few documentation images. Something like $1-2/mo would have been an instant buy for me, but at $8 it was worth my time to investigate other ways of syncing.

    Don’t tell them that. I’ve been saying the same thing for ages and I get slammed by their community for it.

    I don’t get it. Imas you say it’s really missed the mark on pricing. I’d gladly pay for a sync option. But 8€\month? Eff offfff. I have like 500MB of data. I know that’s not everyone’s case but. Is there not some tier? Cripes

    Honestly, I have the same complaint about remote viewing companies like ScreenConnect and TeamViewer. I really like SC and use it within my organization. However, to get more than 3-devices, with sound, and screen blackout, it's way more. Same with monitoring software like Pulseway.

    I just want to help my tech-illiterate family with their computer problems, and make sure their machines are up to date and working well!

    It's completely local if you want, and you absolutely don't need to pay money for syncing. The entire app is absolutely free and fully functional. If you want free syncing you can either use iCloud, or else the RemotelySave plugin with something like Syncthing or Duplicati.

    Not everyone has Apple and the ability to mount cloud (iCloud) as local storage.

    I use Windows on the desktop and iCloud works fine.

    Not for free. You have to use Obsidian Sync (paid sub) for Android.
