ObGitSync
Read full descriptionHide full description
ObGitSync keeps a folder of Markdown notes in step with a Git repository, straight from your iPhone — no desktop, no subscription, no server in the middle. It is built for people who already keep their notes in git and want the same control on mobile: not one opaque "sync" button, but real git, one step at a time. SIGN IN AND GO • Sign in with GitHub — no password typed into the app, and the token stays in the iOS Keychain • Browse your repositories and clone one with a tap • Or point it at any Git host over HTTPS with an access token REAL GIT, NOT AN IMITATION • Commit, Fetch, Merge and Push as separate actions — run one, or run all four in order • Read the diff before you commit, and the diff of any past commit • Browse the commit history, with unpushed commits clearly marked • Write your own commit message • Switch and create branches • Choose merge or rebase per vault • Resolve conflicts in the app: keep yours, keep theirs, or keep both • Discard a single file, or every local change, back to its committed state • Built on libgit2 — the same engine desktop git tooling uses BIG FILES WELCOME • Full Git LFS support: large files are committed as pointers and their content streamed separately, so a vault with files far past GitHub's 100 MB limit still syncs on a phone • Transfers never load an object into memory WORKS THE WAY YOUR NOTES APP DOES • Point ObGitSync at the folder your notes app already uses, and it writes straight into it • A conflict never blocks a sync unless you ask it to • Several vaults at once, each with its own repository, folder and token AUTOMATIC WHEN YOU WANT IT • Sync when the app opens, and on a schedule from every 15 minutes to once a day • Choose what unattended runs do: fetch only, fetch and merge, or a full two-way sync • Shortcuts and Siri actions for every step, plus a URL scheme, so you can build your own routine YOURS ALONE • Your notes, your token and your vault never leave the device except to talk to your own Git repository over HTTPS • No account with us, no analytics, no servers, nothing collected English and 简体中文. Light, dark, or follow the system. ObGitSync is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Obsidian (Dynalist Inc.) or GitHub, Inc.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WristBoard at none against ObGitSync's shown. WristBoard also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). ObGitSync's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
