Replaces Obsidian Sync ($8/mo).

Write notes in Markdown, organize them in notebooks, search instantly. Obsidian without the sync subscription, hosted on your own server so your notes are always accessible. Your data lives in a SQLite file on your disk that you can back up by copying a folder, move to another machine, or query directly with any SQLite tool. The binary keeps running if Stockyard disappears tomorrow, because it is Apache 2.0 and you have a copy.
