A lighter Obsidian alternative

Obsidian is powerful but leans on plugins for a WYSIWYG feel and a live preview. Tybre.md gives you true syntax-reveal WYSIWYG, a wikilink graph, and a built-in terminal out of the box — in a native 5MB app, no plugin hunting required.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tybre.md have a graph view like Obsidian?

Yes. It indexes wikilinks across your markdown files and shows a graph of how notes connect, with backlinks.
