What is Ollama and LM Studio

Ollama and LM Studio are both for running local models on you personal computer. And when I say local models I mean like Deepseek or ChatGPT. And the best part is that information never leaves your computer, so your chats aren’t being sent to other companies like ChatGPT. That’s great if you want a model to look at your personal journal, your finances and just anything you don’t want companies to look at.

Before I get into why I love Obsidian and why you should use it, let’s go over what is Obsidian.

What is Obsidian?

Obsidian is a place to store all your thoughts, ideas and more. It’s the best out there for a couple of reasons

• Your notes are right on your computer meaning ever single file in Obsidian is a file on your computer.
• Obsidian uses markdown (every one uses it, because it’s the best), it’s basically a way to format your notes to make them more readable and look more appealing.
• You can visualize your notes. There are multiple ways you can visualize and make connects about your note’s that you’ve might not seen before.
• There’s plugins that you can put in Obsidian. There are thousands of plugins and themes for Obsidian that makes it feel more personalized to you.

Obsidian’s goal is to give you a place where you can put down all your notes. (Obsidian calls it a vault). And I think it does a pretty good job at it.
