Obsidian Publish is a cloud-based hosting service that lets you publish your notes as a website. Select the notes you want to share, press Publish, and your site is live at publish.obsidian.md/your-site. You’re already looking at a site built with Obsidian Publish — the Obsidian Help documentation runs on Publish. You can browse the source vault on GitHub.

What you can build

Wiki or knowledge base

Share interconnected notes with graph view, backlinks, and search — ideal for teams or public reference material.

Documentation site

Publish structured documentation with a navigation sidebar, table of contents, and custom domain.

Digital garden

Share notes-in-progress and evolving ideas with readers as your thinking develops.

Blog or journal

Publish dated entries and long-form writing without needing a separate blogging platform.

Key features

Serve your Publish site from your own domain (e.g., notes.mysite.com) using Cloudflare or a reverse proxy. See Custom domains.
Restrict access to your entire site with a password. Useful for sharing drafts privately before going public. See Security and privacy.
Publish sites are automatically indexed by search engines with a sitemap at /sitemap.xml. Customize page descriptions and social preview images using note properties. See Customize your site.
Connect Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or any analytics service to track traffic on your site. Requires a custom domain. See Customize your site.
Style your site with a publish.css file. Add interactivity or third-party scripts via publish.js. Community themes can also be applied. See Customize your site.
Invite other Obsidian users to publish and update content on your site. Only the site owner needs a Publish subscription. See Security and privacy.
