Why synclocal

Built for people who take their second brain seriously.

Obsidian Sync costs $8/month and puts your notes on someone else's server. synclocal puts your vault on your network, full stop.

🏠

Stays on your network

Syncs over your local Wi-Fi between your phone and desktop. Your notes never touch the internet.

⚡

One tap sync

Tap once. Done. No terminal, no git commands, no SSH configuration from scratch every time.

🔒

Zero surveillance

No accounts. No analytics. No telemetry. No third party ever sees your notes.

📝

Git-backed

Powered by a git bare repository on your desktop. Every sync is a commit. Full history, conflict resolution, rollback.

🔧

No lock-in

Your vault is plain markdown files in a git repo. Delete the app any time — your notes remain untouched.

🌱

FOSS

Source available on Codeberg. Audit every line. Fork it. The code is yours to inspect.

Setup

Four steps. Then it just works.

synclocal handles the hard part — the git bare repository, SSH configuration, Obsidian vault linking — so you never have to.

01

Install

Install synclocal on iPhone. Run the desktop companion command on your Raspberry Pi or any Linux machine.

02

Pair

Scan the QR code on your desktop with the app. SSH keys exchange automatically. No manual configuration.

03

Link

The app links your Obsidian vault to the git bare repository and pulls your files. All 3115 of them.

04

Sync

Tap sync. Auto-sync when Obsidian opens or closes. Conflict detection built in.
