I've been using obsidian-livesync for a couple months now. Works great cross-platform since it runs directly out of my Vault and doesn't cost $8/mo. Mine is running on fly.io right now but I may eventually move it to my own machine. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/

I can't help feeling like Obsidian really missed the mark on their pricing here for hobbyist & home users. I can't justify paying substantially more than something like iCloud or Google Drive storage when I'm using Obsidian to just sync some text and a few documentation images. Something like $1-2/mo would have been an instant buy for me, but at $8 it was worth my time to investigate other ways of syncing.

Don’t tell them that. I’ve been saying the same thing for ages and I get slammed by their community for it.

I don’t get it. Imas you say it’s really missed the mark on pricing. I’d gladly pay for a sync option. But 8€\month? Eff offfff. I have like 500MB of data. I know that’s not everyone’s case but. Is there not some tier? Cripes

Honestly, I have the same complaint about remote viewing companies like ScreenConnect and TeamViewer. I really like SC and use it within my organization. However, to get more than 3-devices, with sound, and screen blackout, it's way more. Same with monitoring software like Pulseway.

I just want to help my tech-illiterate family with their computer problems, and make sure their machines are up to date and working well!
