Synkk Philosophy

Keep Markdown, permissions, versions, and trusted devices together on infrastructure you control. Synkk is a self-hosted team vault synchronization server, multi-user CRDT collaboration engine, and interactive publishing portal designed specifically for Obsidian.


🧭 Why Synkk?

Obsidian users and research teams frequently face a painful dilemma:

  • Cloud proprietary silos (Notion, Google Docs) force you to give up local plaintext files.
  • Generic cloud sync (iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive) causes silent file corruption, merge collisions, and lacks granular team path permissions.
  • Git setups are clunky on mobile devices and intimidating for non-technical team members.

Synkk solves this completely:

  1. Local-First Plaintext: Your notes remain standard Markdown (.md) files on your filesystem.
  2. Instant QR Pairing: Pair any iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows device in under 3 seconds using Instant QR Pairing.
  3. Pre-Flight Migration Engine: Simulate your first sync and catch friction traps before sending a single byte via [[Pre-Flight Engine]].
  4. Zero-Knowledge E2EE: Secure notes with client-side WebCrypto AES-256-GCM encryption with E2EE.
  5. Interactive Livewire Portals: Publish your vaults as high-end websites in 1-click via Livewire Portals.
  6. Live Multiplayer CRDT: Co-author notes with team carets and presence using [[Multiplayer CRDT]].
  7. Vector RAG Copilot: Query your notes semantically with citations via [[Vault Copilot]].
