What apps do you use in conjunction with Obsidian? (lemmy.world)

One of the things that attracted me to Obsidian was the flat, local file structure that (in theory) would allow me to use other apps on conjunction with Obsidian by accessing the same “vault” (aka, file folder on my computer).

In reality this has been a bit more difficult, as apps vary in terms of how they access files or use file names.

I do use Taio alongside Obsidian on my iPhone and that works well. But curious if there are other apps, particularly on mobile, that play nicely with Obsidian.

That’s one app I really wanted to try to use but they don’t yet have a trial or monthly subscription option for iOS (supposed to release one). I didn’t want to pay $50 for it just yet.

@nightscout Makes sense. Another one that works well is Writer btw. Basically any text editor that can read and write to external folders on iOS/iPadOS.

Although Ulysses introduces problematic characters for some reason, at least it did just before I left it for Obsidian.

@nightscout @laroquephoto At $50, the mobile version of iA Writer has become way overpriced, especially if you’re only going to use it on an iPhone. Imo 1Writer is pretty much equally good (I own both) and last I looked it only costs $5. Fwiw, you can also sign into Dropbox with it, which you can’t do with iA Writer.

Yeah, I agree. The developer said they were going to move to a subscription option for iOS, but that has not happened yet.
