You can sync Obsidian with whatever solution you want to. It’s just flat text files on your filesystem. I store my notes in OneCloud and it syncs fine. Heck, there is even a free plugin to sync your notes using Git.

The subscription is a convenience but in no way required.

Yeah, hearing the complaints about Sync is just confusing. I didn't have the money to pay for yet another subscription but i wanted to have the same notes on my phone as my computer, and have some backup somewhere. I just googled it and within 30 minutes i have a completely free git syncing plugin working on my laptop and phone installations with a private repository that backs up and holds the complete history.

It was very easy and immediately discoverable. Some day when my savings account starts going up again I'll pay for sync but it was trivial to get "Obsidian Git" plugin working in the meantime

But is there a way to do that with my iPhone and windows pc that doesn’t take <1-2 hours ?
