How to choose

0 official, 2 with a remote endpoint, 56 without a listed remote endpoint. 30 listings have Obsidian in the name, slug, or repository. Official is a catalog flag from our curated sources; this page has none. Start with a listing whose name is about Obsidian, not only a mention in the description. Local REST API listings describe talking to the Obsidian app (often via a REST API plugin). Some filesystem listings say they work on Markdown files without the app. Then open a server page for the generated connect command. Star counts are GitHub stars from our last fetch, not usage figures or estimates.
