ObGitSync

Git for your notes, on iPhone. Clone a Git repository into a folder on your device, then commit, fetch, merge and push — one step at a time, or all four at once.

Built for people who keep their notes (an Obsidian vault, say) in Git and want the same control on mobile that they have on a desktop.

What it does

• Real git. libgit2 under the hood, a real .git, real history, real branches.
• Four separate steps. Commit, Fetch, Merge, Push — run one, or run the lot in order.
• See before you commit. Per-file diffs, per-commit diffs, and a history that marks what hasn’t been pushed.
• Branches. Switch, create, and track a remote branch.
• Conflicts, your call. Resolve them in the app (keep mine / keep theirs / keep both), or let the default remote-wins policy keep syncing without ever blocking.
• Merge or rebase, per vault.
• Git LFS. Large files are committed as pointers and their content streamed separately, so a vault well past the 100 MB blob limit still syncs on a phone.
• Sign in with GitHub, browse your repositories, clone with a tap — or use any Git host over HTTPS with an access token.
• Several vaults, each with its own repository, folder and credentials.
• Automation. Sync on open, on a schedule, or from Shortcuts, Siri and a URL scheme.
• English and 简体中文, light / dark / system.

Privacy

Your notes, your token and your vault never leave the device except to talk to the Git repository you configured, over HTTPS. There is no account with us, no analytics and no server. The token lives in the iOS Keychain. See PRIVACY.md.

Frequently asked

Does it work with Obsidian? Yes. Point ObGitSync at the folder Obsidian already uses (On My iPhone → Obsidian → <vault>) and it writes straight into it. ObGitSync is not affiliated with Obsidian.

Do I need a GitHub account? Only for private repositories and for pushing. A public repository clones and pulls with no credentials at all.

SSH remotes? Not yet — HTTPS only for now. SSH support is planned.
