Obsidian vs. Google Keep: eine gute Linux-Alternative?

Obsidian als Linux-Alternative zu Google Keep

Aktualisiert am 29. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Obsidian is not a direct replacement for Google Keep for most casual users. It excels as a local, markdown-based knowledge base with deep linking and customization, but lacks built-in sync, reminders, and collaboration features out of the box. If you take detailed, interconnected notes and don’t rely on quick reminders or sharing, Obsidian can work with plugins and paid sync. However, users wanting Google Keep’s simplicity, real-time sharing, and cross-device push sync will find Obsidian too complex and limited without significant setup. It’s better suited for self-hosted, privacy-focused power users, not casual note-takers.

Was anders ist

Obsidian lacks built-in reminders and location-based notifications

Notes are stored locally as Markdown, not stored by default in the cloud
OCR text extraction from images is not supported

Ihre Google Keep-Dateien öffnen

There is no direct way to import Google Keep notes into Obsidian, as Google Keep does not export in Markdown or plain text by default. You can export Keep notes as JSON or HTML via Google Takeout, but converting them into usable Markdown files requires custom scripting or third-party tools. Image OCR data from Keep is not preserved in exports. Obsidian can import plain text files, so post-processing is necessary. No official tool supports this workflow, and results vary based on formatting complexity.

Von Google Keep zu Obsidian wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Export your Google Keep notes using Google Takeout in JSON or HTML format
Use a script or tool like 'takeout-to-markdown' to convert exported notes
Organize converted Markdown files into a single folder
Open the folder in Obsidian as a new vault
Install plugins like 'Calendar' and 'Sync' if needed for reminders and cloud sync

Häufige Fragen

Can I sync Obsidian across devices like Google Keep?

Yes, but not by default. You need to use Obsidian Sync (paid), a third-party service like iCloud or Syncthing, or set up manual sync via Git. Unlike Google Keep, sync isn’t built-in or free.

Does Obsidian support reminders and checklists like Google Keep?

Checklists are supported natively in Markdown. Reminders require the 'Calendar' plugin or third-party tools, as Obsidian has no built-in reminder system.

Can I share notes with others in real time?

No, real-time collaboration isn't supported. You can share Markdown files manually, but there's no equivalent to Google Keep's sharing or commenting features.
