The encrypted Obsidian alternative

OriginText shares what people love about Obsidian — local-first markdown and a [[wikilink]] graph — and adds zero-knowledge encryption and built-in sync.

What’s the same

Plain markdown files, native [[wikilinks]], a live relational knowledge graph, and local-first storage you control.

What OriginText adds

  • Zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption on by design — we can’t read your notes.
  • Encrypted sync is built in (no separate paid add-on).
  • Runs in the browser as an installable PWA — nothing to download to try it.

Bring your vault

Because an Obsidian vault is just a folder of markdown files with [[wikilinks]], you can import it directly — your links keep working.
