Add Memory to Obsidian
See your AI's knowledge the way you see your own.
Every session starts from zero
Without memory, Obsidian forgets everything between sessions.
- —AI tools can only grep your vault — they don't understand your links, tags, or graph structure.
- —Every AI session starts from zero. You re-explain your projects and conventions each time.
- —Pasting AI output into notes creates dead text — no backlinks, no graph connections.
- —There's no way to separate project context. Everything bleeds together.
Basic Memory changes that
Give Obsidian a persistent, searchable knowledge base it can read and write to.
Graph view of AI knowledge
Every note your AI creates appears in Obsidian's graph view. Watch connections form between ideas, projects, and conversations in real time.
Backlinks and wiki-links
AI-created [[wiki-links]] are clickable in Obsidian. Navigate your knowledge graph the same way you navigate your own vault.
Live sync
Notes created by your AI appear instantly in Obsidian. Edit them yourself and your AI sees the changes on its next turn.
Canvas visualization
Basic Memory can generate Obsidian canvas files — visual maps of projects, concepts, and relationships you can rearrange and annotate.
One command to get started
bm project add my-vault --local-path ~/path/to/obsidian-vaultThat's it. Full setup guide →
What users are saying
“The Obsidian integration is the killer feature. I can see my knowledge graph growing in real time as I talk to Claude. It's like watching my brain build itself.”
“I don't code without Basic Memory anymore. It's such a time saver to be able to refer to projects I don't currently have active and keep a running log of all of my learnings and ProTips. Absolutely love it.”
