An Android reader for an Obsidian vault kept in a Git repository. It syncs the vault's markdown directly from GitHub — no server in between, no Obsidian account — and renders it the way Obsidian does, including the parts plain CommonMark gets wrong.

It is a reader first. Editing on a phone means merge conflicts, and the thing worth having on a phone is the reading — so the only writing it does is the small amount that is worse to postpone: ticking a task off, adding one, pushing one to another day, and writing a thought down before it goes. Everything else is read.

Status All seven milestones are implemented, and the app has been running against a real vault — roughly 2,300 notes — on a real device. It is used daily by one person on one phone, which is the honest scope of the field testing behind it.

Features Offline-first — the vault lives on the device, so everything works with no connection Incremental sync — a refresh with nothing upstream costs a single HTTP request, and a renamed note transfers no bytes at all Markdown-only by default — images are fetched on demand, so a default install is a fraction of the repository's size Obsidian flavour — [[wikilinks]] with Obsidian's own resolution rules, callouts, ==highlight==, wiki-embeds, tables, task lists, footnotes ([^1] and inline ^[…]) that open where they are cited, block references — [[Note#^id]] scrolls to the block and ![[Note#^id]] embeds just it — and [[Note#Chapter#Section]] heading paths, and the inline HTML notes use for formatting — <mark>, <b>, <i>, <del>, <kbd> — drawn as that formatting rather than dropped Tags — inline #tags and nested #parent/child ones, and those in front matter; tap one for every note carrying it, or browse the vault's tag tree Properties and aliases — front matter shown as a foldable Properties block, and edited as a form where the vault can be written (a row per property with a control for its type, rename, remove and add, every line it did not change kept byte for byte, and refused when the front matter changed meanwhile); a note's aliases answer to [[links]] and the quick switcher A note's history — the commits that changed it, across renames, the note as it was at one, and restoring it as an ordinary write the next commit keeps Backlinks, unlinked mentions, an outline and a connections graph for every note — the graph is one hop as a ring, or two to four hops or the whole vault laid out by force, each top folder in its own colour and each note sized by its links; pinch, drag, and tap a dot to open its note A link to a note not there yet makes it — the sheet a tap on such a link opens has a button that creates the note, empty, in the folder the link names or beside the note that holds it, as a click does on the Mac, and opens it Link previews — tap a [[link]] to see where it goes before going; hold one to read the note it points at — or just the section its heading names, or the block its ^id names — in a sheet, with buttons to open it here or in a new tab. A hold anywhere else still looks the word up in the dictionary Find in note, and notes that resume where you left them How long it reads — the outline sheet opens with the note's words and its reading time at 220 words a minute, counted over what is read rather than its front matter or code, as the Mac's bar above a note says it Made for reading — fold a section shut from its heading, as Obsidian's reading view does, and the note remembers its folds; the bar slides away as you read down and back on the first scroll up; a hairline under it says how far through the note you are; the screen can be kept on while a note is open; and folding, ticking and pinching are felt as well as seen A home page — where the app opens and where a phone lands with no note open, and the pane beside the list on a tablet until a note is picked: a picture of your own filling the screen, the time and date, a greeting, a search field, the notes read last, bookmarks and a quote. It replaces Obsidian's Beautitab new tab and follows that plugin's settings in the vault; the picture is chosen in Settings → Reading with the system's photo picker, and kept as a small copy in the app Tabs you can swipe between, and a note's title that travels from the row you tapped into the bar above the page, and pictures that grow out of their place in the note Updated since you read — the notes that changed upstream since you last opened them, at the top of the browser and marked wherever they are listed; the phone's own edits do not count A files drawer in the note screen — filter by name, the tabs already open, the last few notes, and the folder this one sits in Home screen widgets — what is overdue and due today, and the notes you were last reading Pinned notes on the home screen — pin a note from its menu and it sits in a widget as a card, its first lines as plain text, a tap away; a list, or two columns when the widget is wide One note as a widget of its own — a sticky note: the whole of one note, scrolling, from any vault; placed from the note's menu or picked from the launcher's widget list A quote a day — a widget bound to a note of [!quote] callouts shows one of them, the same all day and a different one tomorrow, with the closing — Author line set under it; a tap shows the next, and the title opens the note See-through widgets — Settings › Appearance › Widget background makes every widget's background solid, 75 %, 50 %, 25 % or clear, so the wallpaper shows through behind the text
