Basalt is a cross-platform terminal user interface (TUI) application for managing Obsidian vaults and notes directly from the terminal. It provides a minimalist WYSIWYG-style editing experience built in Rust with ratatui, and is not a replacement for the Obsidian desktop app.
Use cases
- manage obsidian notes from the terminal
- edit markdown notes in a tui
- browse and edit an obsidian vault without opening the desktop app
- take quick notes from the command line
- wysiwyg markdown editing in the terminal
When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want fast access to your Obsidian vault
- you want a lightweight, minimalist note editor without the full Obsidian app
- you work on Windows, macOS, or Linux and want a consistent TUI note manager
When to avoid
- you need Obsidian plugins, graph view, or full desktop features
- you want a GUI note-taking application
- you need collaborative or synced editing beyond what plain files provide
