Works with Obsidian
Nodra keeps your vault in two-way sync across your devices and opens it in any browser, with a real Markdown editor and version history. Your notes stay plain Markdown files, encrypted in transit and at rest.
End-to-end encryption on every plan — turn on Private mode and not even we can read your notes.
How it works
Add the Nodra plugin to Obsidian and create your free account. Your vault stays right where it is.
Edits flow both ways between your devices in the background. Work offline; Nodra catches up when you're back.
Sign in at app.nodranotes.com from any computer and pick up exactly where you left off.
Nothing to install
Your vault opens in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. No installer, no admin rights, nothing left to uninstall.
Can't install software on it? If it has a current browser, sign in at app.nodranotes.com and read, search and edit your notes there.
Open your vault in Chrome, with the same live preview, wikilinks, backlinks and search as on any other computer.
Need a note on someone else's laptop? Sign in, trust the browser, and remove it from your devices when you're done.
Features
Nodra adds sync, a web editor and history to the vault you already have. Nothing to migrate, nothing to relearn.
Every device stays in step: notes, folders, images and attachments. Changes go both ways, quietly.
Live preview, wikilinks, tags, frontmatter, backlinks and fast local search, in any browser with nothing to install.
Encrypted in transit and at rest from day one. Switch on Private mode for end-to-end encryption, on any plan.
Step back to an earlier version of any note. Seven days on Free, up to a full year on Max.
Your vault stays a normal folder of Markdown files on your computer. Leave any time and keep everything.
Edited the same note on two devices? Nodra merges changes that don't overlap, and keeps a conflict copy when they do.
Security
Every account starts in Managed mode. Switch to Private whenever you like: it's on every plan, Free included.
Encrypted in transit and at rest.

FAQ
Not Obsidian itself, but your Obsidian vault, yes. Install the Nodra plugin in Obsidian on your computer and your vault syncs. Then open it from any browser at app.nodranotes.com, with live preview, wikilinks, tags, backlinks and search. Your Obsidian plugins and themes stay in Obsidian.
Yes, to start. Nodra syncs an Obsidian vault, so you install the Nodra plugin in Obsidian on your computer. After that you can open and edit the vault from any browser at app.nodranotes.com.
You can use your vault there without installing anything. Sign in at app.nodranotes.com in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, and trust that browser once: on a Managed account your login is enough, on a Private account you also type your Encryption Password and Secret Key. The vault must already be syncing from Obsidian with the Nodra plugin on another computer. A trusted browser keeps a copy of your vault, so trust only computers you are allowed to keep your notes on.
Yes, in the browser. Open app.nodranotes.com in Chrome on your Chromebook and sign in. Your vault has to be syncing from Obsidian with the Nodra plugin on a Windows, macOS or Linux computer.
Not as an app yet: there is no Nodra app for iPhone or Android, and the Nodra plugin runs only in Obsidian on desktop for now. The web app's layout does adapt to small screens, but we have not yet tested it in every mobile browser.
For syncing your vault between computers, yes, and Nodra adds a web app that opens it in any browser. Obsidian Sync is Obsidian's official service and does things Nodra doesn't today: it works in Obsidian's iPhone and Android apps, can sync your Obsidian settings and plugins, and supports shared vaults. Nodra is independent and not affiliated with Obsidian.
Yes. In Private mode, your vault is encrypted on your device before it reaches our servers, and not even we can read your notes. Managed mode, the default, is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Nodra's server keeps an escrow of your keys so you can recover your account by email. Private mode is on every plan, Free included.
On a Managed account, yes: Nodra's server keeps an escrow of your keys, which is what lets you recover everything through your login email. Turn on Private mode and not even we can read your notes. The trade-off is that you keep an Encryption Password, a Secret Key and a Recovery Kit, and if you lose all three, nobody can recover your data.
No. Private mode is available on every plan, Free included. You can switch to it from your account settings at any time.
Nothing. Your vault is a normal folder of Markdown files on your computer. Remove the plugin and keep using Obsidian exactly as before.
No. The web app is Nodra's own Markdown editor, with live preview, wikilinks, tags, frontmatter and backlinks. Obsidian plugins keep running in Obsidian.
Nodra merges edits that don't overlap. When they do overlap, it keeps both versions, one of them as a conflict copy next to the note, so nothing is lost and your file never fills with conflict markers.
Paid plans open soon. Until then everyone starts on Free. Sign up now and you can upgrade as soon as they launch.
No. Nodra is an independent product that works with Obsidian. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Obsidian.
Start free in a couple of minutes. Your notes stay plain Markdown, wherever you open them.
