wtf is geode?

Geode is a free plugin for Obsidian, the popular note taking app, that adds remote syncing of your notes across multiple devices, including iOS. Your notes are encrypted before they ever leave your device, and they are stored in storage that you own rather than a service controlled by the plugin's creators. The stated goal of the project is to make syncing feel invisible and reliable, comparing the bar they are aiming for to how effortlessly Apple Notes syncs without you ever having to think about it. Beyond syncing, Geode also runs a remote MCP server and an API for your vault. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a way for AI agents such as Claude or Codex to read and write files. With Geode's server enabled, an AI agent can read from and write to your Obsidian vault directly, effectively using your notes as a form of memory it can draw on and update. The project's authors describe this agent access as central to their vision, believing that connecting Obsidian to agents unlocks more of what the app can do. The project is still early. As of this README, the team is working toward its first v0.1.0 release and tracks progress through GitHub milestones. Contributions are welcomed, with issues labeled "Good First Issue" pointed out for newcomers, and a CONTRIBUTING.md file with more detail. Security is treated as a priority: every code change is scanned with GitHub's CodeQL, dependencies are checked by Dependabot and NPM Audit, and the project publishes an OpenSSF Scorecard that updates with each change. Anyone who believes they have found a security vulnerability is directed to a SECURITY.md file for how to report it. Geode is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.0, which means anyone can use, modify, and redistribute it, but any distributed derivative work must also be released under the same GPL-3.0 license.
