Rootlore puts Markdown notes in GitHub
Rootlore is a browser-based Markdown notes app that uses a user's GitHub repository as the source of truth, with support for common Obsidian conventions.
- For
- Obsidian users and AI-assisted note maintainers
- Worth noticing
- The maker says syncing 3,346 notes stopped, leaving 2,342 changes unapplied on GitHub by November 2.
Field notes
The page says Rootlore requests Contents access only for the repository a user selects, and that note bodies stay in the browser rather than being stored by the app. It also acknowledges that the operator could technically read a connected repository; users can revoke access through GitHub or self-host via Cloudflare Workers. Obsidian wikilinks, backlinks, frontmatter, and callouts are listed as supported, while Pro features remain in preparation.
