Files.md – Open-source alternative to Obsidian

Files.md is an open-source, file-based note-taking app that serves as a lightweight alternative to Obsidian, designed for users who want full control over their plain-text markdown files without vendor lock-in. It is ideal for developers, privacy-conscious writers, and knowledge management enthusiasts who prefer local-first storage and simple, extensible tools. The project is interesting because it combines the flexibility of raw markdown with a modern interface, offering real-time collaboration and plugin support while remaining completely free and self-hostable.
