Obsidian 1.0 — A brand new look, a fresh way to browse, a new start

Featured
70
1.0 brings a complete redesign to Obsidian. The new design is not only more beautiful to look at, it's also more robust, accessible, and easier to theme.

Plus, a new way to browse your second brain: tabs. Tabs make it easier to explore many ideas at once.

I love using Obsidian to keep track of all my notes and try to bring order to my chaos! Love these new updates!

Osidian has been a life changer. Deeper thinking. More organized. It’s one of those rare apps that makes the user feel like they have superpowers. Congrats on the launch!

Rose Team Click One, (Product Hunt) Hello To All Obsidian Team, Makers, and everyone at Product Hunt. My name is Rose. This is going to be a fun one, I don't even think we know what we're doing on this one? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Michael Wow Really? I was just getting ready to go lay down. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I knew When I seen my e-mail saw that purple crystal looking thing, I knew it had your name all over it. anyway how is everyone? It has a beautiful interface and it's amazing style, and it has a little swag to it. You all really did a great job on this, wow i'm looking at it right now and it's really nice I just have to learn how to use it. Thank you all very much making the online world easier.
Seems a huge leap forward. Really a great product, and the community on Discord is awesome! Nice job, guys! Congrats on the launch! 🏆

Obsidian is one of my favorite apps of all time. Been using it for over a year and it is now a solid version 1 even though it's been working great for the last year in very workable betas. The community is very helpful and the community plugins are amazing, I have 51 plugins installed. The tabs and tab stacks really make organizing easy. And the mobile app on my iPad is a very good companion to the desktop app.

Cofounder of Obsidian here. We're excited to announce that Obsidian 1.0 is live! 1.0 brings a complete redesign to desktop and mobile. It's not only nicer to look at, but also much easier to use and theme. We've also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows and many details. 1.0 also introduces a new way to browse your second brain: tabs. Tabs make it easier to explore many ideas at once. Tabs can also be stacked so you can glide through your thoughts with ease. There are tons of improvements and fixes, which you can explore in the release notes. We're happy to answer any questions you have. Obsidian 1.0 release notes: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsi... Thank you to everyone for your support and patience! We're finally dropping the "beta" label and we hope it's been worth the wait. Special credits go to Stephan Ango (@kepano) for the redesign and Liam Cain for tirelessly polishing this release.

@kepano @erica_xu I used Obsidian every day. Looking forward to this redesign. Thank you!

@erica_xu @anthilemoon Thanks Anne-Laure!

(@kepano @erica_xu Well done. Congrats. It just keeps getting better and better and is building a remarkable group of people around the PKM in its community. Awesome people.

If you are a life-long learner, Obsidian might be the thing you always wanted but never knew existed. It is for me.

Congrats to the tool that gave my PKM journey a fresh restart, after more than a decade spent in Evernote-land! 🎉 👏 On a more personal note, I have no more reason to put away the book draft I began compiling last year: https://p5v.gumroad.com/l/write-... - I will only need to update all screenshots now 😅

Happy to receive the version 1.0. I have been using it for a while now and it has become now my primary tool for all thing text - daily journal, meeting notes, idea bank, study notes, etc. Thank you makers for the awesome work.

Favorite note-taking app! Tried everything from Bear to Notion. Stayed with Obsidian Really great product which is really fast and has a lot of customization & functionality power
Mike Nash
awesome to see this @erica_xu , congrats on 1.0! I've been using for over a year now, and can't say enough good things. Aside from just being a solid note-taking app, graph view is the killer feature for me. There's something oddly satisfying about visualizing the relational data in my head! Nailed it.

I've been an Obsidian user since Sep2020—It's crazy to see how much it has grown. Out of all of the applications I interact with, Obsidian is by far the most essential to my daily life. I just want to thank the team and community for creating so much damn value to people like myself. Cheers to hitting 1.0!

Congrats on the launch team! I have been using obsidian for last 6 months. I can see value of networked knowledge . I recomended people to try obsidian
Yongsung Kim
Congrats! I've been using Obsidian v0.15.9. I don't think I have been using Obsidian to its fullest ability (like bi-directional links, knowledge graphs, templates, and a bunch of plugins), but I really like how fast it is to quickly jot down notes, add #tags, see all the notes related to the tags, use some markdowns, and copy a bunch of code snippets into the doc. The new Tabs feature is awesome and the UI is a lot cleaner.

This is an absolutely incredible app with an amazing community! Definitely my no1 recommendation when people ask me about software.
Sainath
I love obsidian! Been using it and been a supporter for more than a year, love the product and the community! So happy to see this hit 1.0 :D
Tuan Cao
Congrats @erica_xu I've been early Obsidian users. Love the app and the community you guys build around. The best note taking app ever.

Obsidian is one of the better note-taking app that's come out in the past years. Only grip I have is - Share as a webpage is expensive and not really customizable. If we had a way to alter the looks it would be better. Password support is good as well. - Mobile app support can be waaaay better.
Alexe Martel
Obsidian is such a gem! 😜 I love everything about it. And this redesign is so gorgeous I decided to drop my theme.
Laurent Cazanove
I'm not exaggerating when saying that if I could only use a single app for work or my personal life, it would be Obsidian. Research, work, creativity, productivity—it has great defaults and insane potential thanks to it's plugins ecosystem. Grats on the 1.0 launch!
