OB Lite
Browser-based mobile editor for Obsidian vaults synced through GitHub
About OB Lite
OB Lite is a browser-based editor for Obsidian vaults that live in a GitHub repository: it reads and writes your Markdown notes straight from your phone, with each save becoming a single checked commit, so it never fights the obsidian-git setup on your desktop. It covers the mobile gap for people whose vault syncs through git rather than Obsidian Sync, iCloud or similar services.
