What every vault has

The honest list. Each vault is a complete system — not a pile of pretty templates.

  • 📊 4 self-updating dashboardsSemester overview, per-course hub, exam tracker and a field-specific index. They read your notes and rebuild themselves — and now they calculate your grades and progress automatically.
  • 📝 Templates for every note type15, 16 or 19 templates depending on your degree — one note per thing, with the right fields pre-filled. A lecture, a case, an assignment — the template is already there.
  • 📈 Your grades, auto-calculatedFill in a grade and a weight, and the dashboards work out your average and progress by themselves. No spreadsheets, no code.
  • 🔌 Built-in Bases + Templater pre-installedUnzip, click “Trust author”, done. Nothing to configure.
  • 🎓 A worked exampleOne fully linked course so you can see how it fits together, then delete it and start your own.
  • 📚 Plain Markdown, offline, no subscriptionYour notes are files on your disk. They work on a plane and they'll still open in ten years.
  • ♾️ Lifetime updates + email supportOne payment, every future version yours.

Why Obsidian, not another app

  • ✅ Your notes are your files — plain Markdown on your disk. No lock-in, no export button to beg for.
  • ✅ Works offline — the lecture hall, the plane, the cabin. No connection, no problem.
  • ✅ Free forever — Obsidian itself costs nothing. No subscription for your own notes.
  • ✅ More powerful queries — Obsidian's built-in Bases ask questions of your notes that Notion's rollups can't.
  • ✅ Built for active recall — flashcards and spaced repetition are a plugin away, and the vaults already write cards for you.

StudentObsidian is not affiliated with Obsidian. We make vaults that run on it.

Why we beat generic Obsidian vaults

A one-size-fits-all template treats a law student and a med student like the same person. Yours shouldn't.

  • 🎯 Purpose-built for your specific degree — generic vaults give every student the same folders. Ours are tailored to medicine, law or business, with the templates and dashboards your field actually uses.
  • 🗂️ Tailored to your studies — a med student gets a Conditions Index, a law student a Case Index, a business student a Frameworks Index. Not one size fits all.
  • 🔐 More control over your data — your notes are plain Markdown files on your own disk. No lock-in, no cloud account, no subscription. You own everything.
  • 📊 Superior overview of your notes — self-updating dashboards read your notes and rebuild themselves. Overdue work, upcoming exams, your grades — visible at a glance.
  • 🎓 Bigger advantages come exam time — flashcards, spaced repetition, issue-spotting and self-testing are built into the templates, not bolted on.
  • 📈 Improve your grades — track progress, spot your weak topics, and let the dashboards calculate your marks. What you measure, you improve.

Questions

Do I need to know Obsidian already?

No. Every vault ships with a Start Here note and a README that get you running in about two minutes. If you can unzip a folder, you can run it.

What exactly do I get for $79?

A ~600 KB ZIP — a complete Obsidian vault with self-updating dashboards, templates for every note type, Templater pre-installed (dashboards run on Obsidian's built-in Bases), a worked example, and lifetime updates plus email support.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, yours forever. The files sit on your disk as plain Markdown — if StudentObsidian disappeared tomorrow, your notes would still open in any text editor.

Does it work on my devices?

Anywhere Obsidian runs: Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Obsidian is free; syncing between devices is your choice (iCloud, Dropbox, Obsidian Sync, a git repo — the vault doesn't care).

Which vault should I buy?

The one that matches your degree. Medicine or nursing → MedicineForge. Law → LawForge. Business, economics or MBA → BusinessForge. The core is the same; each adds the templates and dashboards your field actually needs.

What if I switch majors?

The core of all three is identical, so a law student who pivots to business will recognise everything and only gain a few new templates. Email support and we'll help you move.

$79. One-time. Yours forever.

A ~600 KB ZIP, lifetime updates and email support. No subscription, no account, no internet required after download.
