for Obsidian users

Markdown notes with real AI, without vendor lock-in. Your workspace, your models, your call.

If you love Markdown but are tired of plugin sprawl, closed AI features, or subscription creep, Yoinko gives you a cleaner AI notes workspace with page-aware chat, structured page types, sharing, and provider choice.

Markdown-friendly

Write Markdown and HTML pages while keeping structured work next to your notes.

Real AI surface

Yoyo sees the current page context and can draft, summarize, rewrite, generate checklists, and create images.

Less tool stitching

Use notes, boards, spreadsheets, diagrams, assets, and shared pages without building a plugin stack.

Keep the Markdown mindset, lose the assembly project.

Obsidian is powerful because it respects files and power users. Yoinko takes that same preference for direct notes and adds a cloud workspace with first-class AI, structured pages, and sharing.

AI should be part of the editor, not a side quest.

Instead of wiring together plugins and separate chat windows, Yoinko puts page-aware AI inside the workflow. Ask about the current page, apply useful output, and keep moving.

Not every note belongs in a database.

Notion can become a project of its own. Yoinko stays closer to notes, pages, folders, and common knowledge-work formats, while still giving teams sharing and permission controls.
