What Crate does

Your notes move. Your reminders follow.

Keep one vault current across devices, with reminders that stay beside the notes where you wrote them.

01 / REMINDERS

Keep the reminder with the note.

Write a date in Markdown. Crate puts it in your daily view and can notify your phone when it is due.

03 / CONFLICT SAFETY

Nothing quietly disappears.

If two devices change the same note, Crate keeps both versions so you can choose what stays.

Three short steps

From install to synced.

Choose your storage account once. Crate prepares everything it needs—you do not configure a server by hand.

    Install Crate

    Connect your storage

    Sign in with Cloudflare and choose an account.

    Start syncing

    Connect another device and keep working as usual.

Where your vault lives

Storage in an account you control.

Crate uses Cloudflare to sync and store your files. Connect your own account during setup—there is no separate Crate account or storage service.

Read how data is handled
Do I need Cloudflare?
Yes. Crate guides you through signing in and choosing an account during setup.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Sync works in Obsidian mobile, and the reminders web app can send notifications to connected devices.
Where are my files stored?
In storage created inside the Cloudflare account you choose. Crate does not add end-to-end encryption.
Early release

Try Crate in a test vault.

Crate is open-source and not yet in the Obsidian community plugin catalog. Start with non-critical notes while the project is still early.
