Basalt TUI Application to manage Obsidian notes
TUI Application to manage Obsidian vaults and notes directly from the terminal ✨.
Basalt is a cross-platform TUI (Terminal User Interface) for managing Obsidian vaults and notes. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Basalt is not a replacement for Obsidian. Instead, it provides a minimalist terminal interface with a WYSIWYG experience.
Install Basalt using Cargo:
Or download a pre-compiled binary from the latest release, extract it, and move the
basaltbinary to a location in yourPATH.Basalt can be customized using a TOML configuration file. The file does not exist by default — create it manually when you want to override the defaults.
If configuration files exist in multiple locations, only the first one found is used. The home directory configuration takes precedence.
See the full configuration reference for key mappings, custom commands, and defaults.
