Track your Obsidian bills and renewals

Obsidian is a note-taking app that anyone can use free, without signing up and even for work, and it describes itself as independent and fully funded by its users. It earns money from optional add-ons: Sync, which keeps notes in step across devices with end-to-end encryption and version history, and Publish, which puts notes on the web, plus voluntary supporter and commercial licenses.
