> But I felt frustrated when I wanted to access my notes on my phone while on-the-go and saw that I had to pay for this feature. Obsidian charges $8 a month to access the same notes across multiple devices.

Errm, no? Obsidian sync is optional. I pay for it to support them, but my main vaults are all synced by iCloud, which was auto set-up by Obisidan during initial setup on my iPhone.

On the Android side, any service which can sync files can work, I assume.

Note: Yes, I use Obsidian on my phone without sync, all the time, and it syncs.

Not practical if you want to also sync with non-Apple devices.

  • I think any app which can sync in the background can automatically sync things? Dropbox, Moebius, PCloud, Google Drive?

    My Office vault lives in a separate cloud service, and it works?

    • My understanding is that on iOS your only non-paid choice is iCloud, and iCloud doesn’t reliably sync to non-Apple systems. To clarify, the use case here is that you have an iPhone but also non-Apple systems, which is a fairly common scenario.
