For note-taking, I recommend Obsidian. It's lightweight, has a large community, and offers plenty of useful plugins. I use the Timekeep plugin myself, which helps me connect tasks with the time spent on them.

obsidian-smart-connections
Find related notes and excerpts while writing. Your link building copilot displays relevant content in graph + list view. A local embedding model powers semantic search. Zero setup. No API key.
SmartConnections but heads up, Connections Pro asks $300/year, or, more for the plugin than for an LLM subscription, more than Microsoft Office for that matter.

Project mention: Show HN: NoteDiscovery – Free Self-Hosted Alternative to Notion/Obsidian | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-11
GitHub: https://github.com/gamosoft/NoteDiscovery
Please bear in mind it's in VERY early stages so it doesn't get even close to what the excellent Obsidian can do, but for the time being it's more than enough to suit my personal needs, so depending on my availability I may be adding more features. ;-)
I really hope you like it!

Huh? The old review process was always been well-documented and occurred via PRs on GitHub completely in the open.
> The Obsidian team is small and unable to manually review every new release of community plugins. Instead, we rely on the help of the community to identify and report issues with plugins.

compass
Compass: run your whole life out of Obsidian. Daily questions, quarterly retreats, planning, habits, tasks, writing, and an AI assistant in the vault. (by AgriciDaniel)
There are plenty of things called LifeOS now. At the simple end, there's ChatGPT plus scheduled tasks. Then there are Obsidian templates and manually maintained knowledge bases—I wrote about that more old-school approach in an earlier article on knowledge management. Add AI to an existing setup and you get something like Compass. At the other end are larger collections of tools, such as danielmiessler/LifeOS.

obsidian-osint-templates
These templates are suggestions of how the Obsidian notetaking tool can be used during an OSINT investigation. The example data in those files should allow you to make some connections (see what I did there?) between how you record your data during an investigation and some of what the tool can offer FOR FREE!

Project mention: Show HN: CollabMD – Real-time multiplayer for local and Git-backed Markdown | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-17
You can also deploy it as a persistent team gateway. It ships with a Docker image (and Coolify instructions) that securely bootstraps a private Git repo using your SSH keys. When the collaboration session is done, you use the built-in Git UI to stage, commit, and push the actual files back to your repo. The filesystem remains the absolute source of truth.
