+## What it is
+
+Obsidian is a note-taking app built on plain Markdown files in a folder on your computer, which it calls a vault. You link notes to each other with `[[double brackets]]`, and Obsidian shows backlinks and a graph of how your notes connect. A large library of community plugins and themes extends it. The app is free for personal use and closed source; your notes stay ordinary files you can open with anything.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Your notes are just files.** A vault is a folder of Markdown, so it works with Git, backups and any other editor.
+- **Linked thinking.** Links and backlinks turn a pile of notes into a personal wiki.
+- **Extensible.** Plugins add tasks, calendars, diagrams and more.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs Obsidian as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid and create a vault or open an existing folder. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
