## Who should use Obsidian?
Obsidian is a great note-taking app. Not everyone needs high-quality notes, but whether you need them or not, you may find that Obsidian is invaluable. Here are a few situations where I would recommend Obsidian:
- If you feel like your brain is too full
- If you feel like you’re never able to remember all the things you want to remember
- If you’ve tried to take notes in the past, but they’ve never stuck
- If you like to journal
- If you like to write, read, or research
Mobile
- Yes but costs money
