Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives? (lemmy.world)

I have iOS, and use MacBook/Linux.

EDIT: Wow! It’s impressive how many different ways there are to achieve this. I tried obsidian git, but couldn’t get it to work as expected. Remotely Save is working perfect! Obsidian flew under my radar all these days because I thought sync was the only way. I’m looking into plugins and there’s literally a thousand plugins. It’s kinda overwhelming tbh. I’ll make another post for plug-in recommendations and workflow setup advice. Thank you all!

I purchased sync. I agree it is a little on the expensive side.

The one thing you can do is just use git and turn on the push and pull. It seems to be very reliable this way. Though you won't be able to use it on the phone as far as I have been able to figure out.

The obsidian-git plugin works on Android

For varying definitions of "works". It's incredibly frustrating if you're using it across multiple devices. Any time I let the repo get more than a couple days behind, I wind up with nasty merge conflicts and it doesn't handle those. At all. It just sort of breaks.

So caveat emptor.

I pay for sync but also use git. I hate how obsidian works in mobile so I just use GitHub.com’s web interface to take notes on mobile and push to obsidian on save. Obsidian sync then syncs all my devices
