The closest Obsidian alternative is Logseq if you want open-source local files, Anytype if you want local-first with built-in sync, and Capacities or Notion if you want a polished all-in-one workspace. Bear is the lightest Markdown option on Apple devices. Everpaper sits beside Obsidian: it captures your workday automatically and can export it as an Obsidian vault.
