I understand the appeal of a product like Obsidian. but... I want something robust, performant, trusted, open-source, and as close to my tasks/priorities as possible.

So I use something cross-platform, open-source, tested internationally every day for bugs and security, battle-hardened in production around the world, and used by leaders in the software industry.

I use git.

Obsidian is essentially just a nice, feature rich Markdown editor.

You can sync your Markdown files between machines using their sync feature, or you could use Git.

Good luck syncing notes on mobile with Git

I sync Obsidian notes with Git on my Android phone and I don't see any problem. You can do it the tedious way using Termux[1] or easy way through obsidian-git[2].

[2]: https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-git

there is also the open source MGit available in FDroid. it can work with arbitrary directories, so it is compatible with termux.

…on iOS you can use the “Working Copy” app to sync Obsidian with Git:
