Lock-in

7 powerful views

See your data the way you need it. Switch between views instantly — each with its own filters, sorts, and field visibility.

Table

A fully interactive spreadsheet with inline editing, resizable and reorderable columns, aggregation footer, row height options, and bulk actions.

Board (Kanban)

Drag cards between columns grouped by any select or status field. Add cards directly to a column and configure visible properties.

Gallery

A responsive card grid. Pick a cover field, choose card size (small, medium, large), and display any properties below the title.

List

A minimal, single-line view with title and property chips. Great for quick overviews and task-oriented databases.

Calendar

Monthly and weekly views with time slot support. The weekly view shows a Google Calendar-style time grid with positioned events, a current-time indicator, and an all-day row.

Timeline (Gantt)

Horizontal bar chart with three zoom levels. Drag bar edges to resize start or end dates. Group rows by any field.

Chart

Bar, line, and pie charts rendered as pure SVG. Pick a category column, choose an aggregation, and visualize your data instantly. Smart axis formatting with k/M suffixes.

Powerful features, zero learning curve

Everything you loved about Notion databases, built natively for Obsidian with no lock-in.

18 Column Types

Title, Text, Number, Select, Multi-select, Checkbox, Date, URL, Email, Phone, Status, Formula, Relation, Lookup, Rollup, Image, Audio, and Video.

Formula Engine

Compute values with built-in functions: IF, SUM, AVG, CONCAT, LEFT, ROUND, and many more. Spreadsheet-style syntax.

Relations & Lookups

Link rows across databases and pull values from related notes, just like Notion. Build interconnected knowledge bases.

AND/OR Filters

Type-aware operators with toggleable conjunction between filter pills. Filter your data exactly the way you need.

CSV Import / Export

Bring data in from spreadsheets or take it out. Seamless interoperability with your existing workflows.

Multiple Views

Each database supports unlimited views. Every view has its own filters, sorts, and field visibility settings.

100% Markdown

Every row is a .md file, every column is a frontmatter field. Open in any editor. No proprietary format, no lock-in, ever.

Number Formatting

Excel-style number formatting with prefix ($, R$), suffix (%, kg), decimal places, and thousands separator.

Subtasks

Hierarchical rows with expand/collapse up to 3 levels deep. Mark any self-relation as hierarchical and your table becomes a tree.

Rollup Columns

Aggregate values across related databases with 7 functions: sum, count, avg, min, max, count unique, and list all.

Mobile Optimized

Touch-friendly across all 7 views. Scroll-snap on boards, long-press context menus, bottom sheets, and responsive layouts for phones and tablets.

Notion Bases vs Core Bases
