dol vs ObsiKO

dol is a notes app you write in markdown. Your notes live on your device, and you decide which server they sync through. ■ Everything you would expect Live preview as you type. [[Wikilink]] autocompletion and backlinks. Search across titles and bodies. Find and replace inside a note. Nested folders and image attachments. ■ Sync that goes nowhere else Your iPhone, iPad, and the Windows and Mac apps all see the same notes, and they travel through a CouchDB server you choose. Run your own or use a host — either works. Setup takes about five minutes from the settings screen, and your password is stored only in the iOS keychain. ■ Sync is optional Leave it off and your notes stay on this device. No internet connection needed. ■ Import and export Bring in a folder of .md files you already have. Or go the other way: export every note and image as a single zip.

Tired of converting files or picking plugins? Spent the day on settings and never wrote a line? Plenty of features, none of them talking to each other? Everyday writing, LLM wikis, ontologies, Zettelkasten, mindmaps, reading logs, codices, schedules, file conversion — one app, no account or subscription. Obsidian vaults (.md/.canvas/.base) open as-is. (AI runs on your own API key; with Apple Intelligence on, it can run on the device with no key.) ■ You see it first, before anything changes · AI rewrites arrive as a suggestion card — nothing changes until you press Replace · The AI agent works on a copy; only what you pick reaches your notes · Before the first send to an outside AI, it shows what goes where and sends only if you allow ■ Share to the web, sync between devices (GitHub) · "Share to the web" publishes a note at one address — theme, tables and images intact, comments too · The text lives only in your GitHub account, never on our servers; "Stop sharing" takes it down · Sync runs through your own repository and only ever deletes to the trash ■ Write once, it connects itself · A "color" property colors the tab, header, tree icon, .base and codex cards. Define your own types and relations too · Type "book" pops a search that fills the rest; "project" adds start/due to the calendar · Highlight a PDF and quotes collect into a note of the same name, searchable and on the graph · Wiki links, types, relations and PARA form one constellation — more links, brighter star ■ Infinite mindmap canvas (.canvas) · Apple Pencil drawing — turn a sketch into an AI image. Have AI build an editable mindmap, or hand it yours · Auto-build from a note's links, auto-layout, embeds, groups, relations. 5 styles, 10+ presets. Drop a URL or file to add a card ■ .base files and search · Projects, kanban, cards, charts, a library (book/paper search), PARA, a budget that pastes receipts. Dataview queries become tables · Filenames, full text, Korean jamo, semantic search — pin results, bookmark a query, or ask Siri ■ A dashboard and themes you arrange · 50+ widgets plus query and embed boards — calendars, to-dos, habit trackers, stats. 20+ themes, your own fonts ■ Markdown and a writing helper · Calm editing tuned for Korean.

AI OCR and transcription (labelled by speaker) ■ AI agent · Add an API key and go (Claude, Gemini, GPT) — the app is complete without one · Builds mindmaps and .base tables on your phone and reads existing ones.
