Wow, Obsidian just met its fiercest competitor!

I recently came across a really interesting open-source project: Tolaria

Not only does it look great, but its feature set is like a combination of Obsidian + Git + an AI Agent workspace.

It has Obsidian’s Markdown-first, local files, and bidirectional link knowledge base philosophy, while also being Git-first and better suited for AI Agents.

Its key features:

  • Notes are local Markdown files
  • Vault can be a Git repo directly
  • Structured management with frontmatter
  • Local-first, no accounts, no subscriptions
  • Built-in MCP capabilities for AI Agents

It supports Delta incremental updates and source attribution (provenance), and has built-in features like query, audit, graph export, etc. Currently at 2k stars.
