## About

Markdown-based note-taking app with linked knowledge graphs and local storage

## Activity summary

Accessible in Syria. In February 2026 a community volunteer verified full access over a DSL connection, successfully browsing the site, creating a new account, logging in, and downloading the desktop app without restrictions. No blocking has been observed and no outreach was needed.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-26 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Obsidian is fully accessible from Syria via DSL. The homepage loads correctly with download options. A volunteer successfully created a new account — the registration page displayed a green "Success! You will receive an email soon to confirm your email address" banner. The desktop application (Obsidian-1.11.7.exe, 283 MB) downloads successfully. All tested features including browsing, account registration, login, and software download work without restrictions.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
