Obsidian migration
Move from Obsidian to MDDock in 30 seconds — keep every wikilink, attachment, and Daily Note.
Open your Obsidian vault folder in MDDock and your wikilinks, frontmatter, attachments, and Daily Notes all work unchanged. The 30-second migration skips the $8/month Obsidian Sync fee, the paid AI add-on, and the community-plugin shuffle — because AI memory, hybrid recall, and Agent skill install are free in MDDock. Move at your own pace; your files never leave your disk.
Why Obsidian users migrate to MDDock
AI memory is free, not a paid add-on
Obsidian's AI features require a separate paid subscription and route your vault to a third-party provider. MDDock ships hybrid recall, semantic search, and AI chat built into the desktop app — your notes stay local, the AI reads them on device, and you pay no monthly fee for the same answers.
30-second vault import
Point MDDock at your existing Obsidian vault folder and every file, wikilink, attachment, and frontmatter field opens untouched. Daily Notes keep working; there is no export step, no re-index, and no plugin to install. You can move back to Obsidian any time because your files are still plain Markdown on disk.
Skip the community-plugin shuffle
Obsidian's plugin ecosystem is amazing but every workflow needs three plugins and a sync hack. MDDock ships a CLI and MCP server out of the box so Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can search your vault directly — no plugin manager, no JSON config, no weekly plugin-update dance.
Obsidian is the gold standard. MDDock is the gold standard plus free AI and Agent tools.
Download MDDock
Free macOS DMG and Windows installer from mddock.com. About 120 MB, signed and notarized so Gatekeeper stays quiet.
Open your Obsidian vault
Use File → Open Folder and select the same folder Obsidian already uses. No copy, no export, no migration script.
Auto-detect wikilinks and Daily Notes
MDDock reads your existing structure as-is. Wikilinks, frontmatter fields, attachments, and Daily Notes just keep working.
Start writing with AI memory
Ask the AI sidebar about a topic you wrote about last month and it cites your own notes, not a generic web summary.
