0:04
Hello everyone. Welcome back to another video. I hope you all are doing great and are having an amazing and absolutely incredible day
0:11
I bring you back to yet another video. And in this video, we're going to be talking about Obsidian and LogSec
0:18
Okay, two of the most used privacy first and open source knowledge bases to, you know, sharpen your thinking
0:26
It's a great note-taking apps. and it's better than all the major platforms that we have
0:30
So let's just go straight into it and discuss their pros and cons. So to start things off, I'm going to get into Upsidian.mD over here and logtech.com over here
0:39
And once you get it into their websites, as you can see, their interface is really fun
0:44
Okay, it's really nice. It's very pleasing to the eyes, and you can see, sharpen your thinking
0:48
Obsidian is the private and flexible writing app that adapts to the actual way you think
0:53
And you can get Obsidian for Windows by downloading it because, you know, proper
0:58
note-taking app as you can clearly say you can create notes on the left-hand side create different
1:03
widgets of them you can also make idea graphs okay by writing in telepathy and a lot more then you know
1:11
they say your thoughts are yours your mind is unique and your knowledge shall last spark brilliance
1:16
and a whole lot more so you know it gives you a lot of great features like you can add in hyperlinks
1:21
for yourself in texts you can add in different graphs to visualize you know what you've created
1:28
Then there's canvases. Again, in this canvases, you can create different lectures for yourself, add different types of images in these canvases because these canvas will obviously procreate and represent something else
1:43
Then comes the plugins, okay? Build your ideal thinking space with hundreds of plugins, okay
1:49
User Open API, easy to tailor obsidian, and a whole lot more
1:53
So you can see that the variety of features is there. You know, you get large variety and a large, you know, number of features
2:03
Then moving on, let's go to LogSec, okay? LogSec, same in the interface game
2:09
It's absolutely amazing, very pleasing to the eye, very minimalistic, and, you know
2:14
I like the things that are going on around it So LogSec the open toolbox for workflows that deal with lots of information There different things like task managements PDF annotations flashcards whiteboards
2:27
Then you have different ways for different types, you know, like students, academics, writers
2:33
project managers, developers, and a whole lot more. You can review your notes easily, outline them, and add different tasks for yourself
2:42
Okay. So you can use it for a different. different relationships with your notes and essays
2:48
You can use it as a daily planner for yourself if you want to. Use it for your journaling, data control, and a whole lot more
2:55
It's really easy and really great stuff. And it's a safe space for your open thoughts
2:59
So it's really open source, so free forever and it's free for your personal use, privacy first
3:04
It has great mobile apps with markdown files and it has a great community as well in case you need some help
3:10
So, you know, those were the overviews of both the platforms. Now when it comes to the actual working in them, obviously these both are open source, but they need to be downloaded
3:21
Okay? So you can obviously download it for all these different platforms
3:25
So you have MacOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android. Then as you scroll down, you can, you know, check these different things
3:36
So get ready for knowledge, work we imagined, locksex sync, whiteboards, real-time collaboration
3:43
and a whole lot more that you can do for yourself. So that is obviously the Windows section, and you can download it immediately
3:48
It's not that big either. It's a pretty small platform. Same comes with Obsidian
3:54
Obsidian, although is only available for your windows, it's also available for these platforms
3:59
but the best case works on Windows. Your LogSack, on the other hand
4:04
gives you a variety, okay? It gives you a great dynamic to work on Windows
4:08
and on your iOS and Android. Like the features on both hands
4:13
hands are pretty incredible. And obviously with Mac, you know, Mac is more on the work side of the
4:19
softwares. So on Mac, obviously, both these works pretty incredible. Now, once you understand the
4:26
depth of that, now to, you know, discuss these in more depth, let's go into Obsidian's pricing
4:32
because Obsidian has two basic uses Okay first of all there the personal use which is obviously totally free forever Okay you don need to put in any charge at any time It absolutely amazing Then there commercial use okay per year
4:47
Okay, and just imagine you can use it commercially for 12 months for just $50
4:54
So if you want to use Obsidian as a note taking or a commercial marketing app
5:00
just pay $50 and you're pretty much good to go. And in these, you can obviously in the free plan, you get all the app
5:05
with no account or sign up required. You get different themes, plugins, and APIs, and great community support
5:12
Then there's commercial use where you can get a commercial use license. You get a 14-day free trial for it and great priority support
5:18
Moving on, there's also the add-on section. In the add-on section, when it comes to monthly billings per month, you just have to give $10
5:27
and you get different add-ons. Now these add-ons are basically allowing you to publish notes to different webs, no technical
5:34
knowledge is required for it. You get graphs, views, and different outlines for yourself and great
5:40
priority email support with different notes across devices and a whole lot more. Now, in this case
5:47
I'd say a logsec is pretty incredible because locksex is fully free. Now, there's no pricing on
5:53
anything. So in that case, I guess locksack wing. And when it comes to LogSec, you get different
5:59
open positions at LogSec as well. You can, you know, get positions in data owners
6:04
leadership, design, you know, there's different risk takings, remote work, health insurance
6:11
mental health, and well-being. You get time off, educational stipend, there's parental leave
6:17
and a whole lot more. So really incredible, really great stuff to get your head around. And it's
6:25
just a great dynamic to work in when you have user interfaces that look this great. You know
6:31
and you can customize the color of the interface by yourself and add as much information as you want
6:37
You know, in the free plan, there's no limitation to the amount of words or spaces you add
6:42
because there's a lot of note-taking apps like OneNote or, you know, these apps by Microsoft
6:47
that do give you privileges that these app gives you, but the thing is they do have a hefty price on them
6:54
And that the fun thing about Obsidian and LogSEC is they don give you these kinds of things Now when it comes to features and functionality I say these both work pretty similarly and they work pretty well with each other
7:08
And again, the function and similarity are pretty same because they both are from the same branch of apps
7:12
Okay, they're both note-taking apps for the same type of reason, for the same type of ethic
7:17
And it's just a great thing to have for your workspace or maybe your personal space, you know, whatever
7:23
space you want to use it for. So basically, the features functionality pretty much the same
7:29
but when it comes to the actual working and how these two are differentiated and what I would prefer
7:37
you know, I would personally go with LogSec over Obsidian, although Obsidian's user interface
7:43
would, in my opinion, be much better than LogSec. Like, LogSec has a very aesthetic background
7:49
and all, and it has nice coloring and theme, but that doesn't insinuate it
7:53
an actual very friendly user face. This is the user interface for Obsidian
7:59
So you get three different tabs. On the left hand tab, you can easily access your, you know
8:03
continental and things. In the mid tab, you get your details and, you know, optional widgets
8:09
On the right hand side of the tab, you get your basic graphs and writings. So pretty easy to get around them
8:14
And then on, you know, your log sec, it's just one tab
8:19
and then there's, you know, call ring. So the user interface, I would say obsidian is best
8:23
better, but in terms of the features and pricings, LogSick is totally free
8:29
Like, there's no charge, there's no additional charges to anything. So only because of that, and only because Obsidian charges a bit from you
8:38
I would say LogSec is a better option for you to use. Because, again, the features and functionality, you know, 1920, you know, 19%, 20%
8:48
that's how, you know, close they are. Maybe it's a 49-51, you know
8:52
but when it comes to you know the pricing thing i would always go with locksick and uh you know
8:58
it depends on the perspective you're trying to go with if you're okay with giving money and you want to go
9:02
with a better interface go with obsidian but if you just want to go with a general idea with a cheaper
9:07
value then go with locksick so yeah basically that's the obsidian versus locksick video and that
9:12
is the comparison between these two i hope this was helpful to you if it was drop down a like
