If I Lost This Setup, I Would Stop Using Obsidian
Nick has updated his Obsidian setup for beginners, existing Obsidian users, and anyone who wants a home for their best thinking, ideas, projects and more. In this video, he walks us through the Home Base Note, his ACE system, and all the new features in Obsidian so we’re ready for 2026.
Interesting Reddit Posts
Taking notes in Obsidian for learning Python [or any language] - After every exercise, I summarise what I just learned in a note in my Obsidian. It’s a great way to track my progress and make my own personal documentation of tips, mistakes, and pitfalls. And it just looks nice too, especially with the Code Styler plugin, which allows you to style the code blocks.
Board View plugin beta release - Board view plugin for bases. Being reviewed to be added as a community plugin. Some key features: Column and Row Grouping, Drag and Drop, Interactive Properties, Color Coding, Images & Icons
Capacities
So many cool features in the latest November App release:
Choose your own AI Model Provider - You can now use Capacities AI with other model providers than OpenAI. You can now plug in your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or xAI.
Kindle Integration - You can now bring your Kindle highlights directly into Capacities via our email integration by emailing your highlight exports to your graph.
Web Highlights 2.0 - Web Highlights 2.0 integration that combines the power of Web Highlights with the power of our highlight blocks. Video to see it in action.

Logseq

Scopit
The indie developer of this cool deadline-first app contacted me, and to support them on their journey and showcase what might be a very useful app to many readers, I thought I would include it in this week’s edition.
Scopit is a small deadline-first planner for Apple users (iPhone, iPad, Mac).
It organises events, due dates and reminders into three simple timelines: Today, Upcoming, Past
It includes daily notes with Markdown and checkboxes, for journaling or scratch-pad style planning
It’s local-first and private: no account, no analytics, encrypted JSON backups stored on device
The idea is to give people who think in dates and timelines (exams, projects, creative work) something that complements their PKM setup rather than replacing it.

Kosmik
Kosmik is officially coming out of beta next week!
What does this mean for you?
To thank you for helping make Kosmik what it is today, we’re giving you a full year of Kosmik Pro completely free.
If you signed up for Kosmik before our official launch, you’ll automatically receive the Kosmik Pro plan at no cost for one full year. After that, Pro will be $11.99/month (billed annually) or $14.99/month (billed monthly).
What we’re building next
Markdown support and a better note-taking experience → We already support markdown syntax, but this evolution will allow you to import and export notes in MD in Kosmik.
Inbox and a better clipper → We’re going to upgrade our web clipper UX and redesign the inbox to make it easier to import clipped content in Kosmik.
An updated tag system → Complete with color sampling and manual descriptions.
Many more surprises

What’s New in Anytype Desktop Update v 0.51 (Nov 2025)
This desktop version 51 Anytype release includes ExcaliDraw (whiteboard), sidebars on the left vs right side, and updates to chat (messaging). Recorded on a Windows PC v51.1
Heptabase
In the latest version, the AI has been upgraded so you can ask questions using your entire knowledge base as context.
For example, when I asked AI to find an idea I wrote in my journal last month, it generated a query for all journals from Oct 1 → Oct 31, 2025 and jumped straight to the exact content block containing that idea.
MyMind
Save 30% on our Mastermind annual plan. This is the only deal we do all year, and it ends December 8. Link
And also check out their latest feature:
Mem
v2.17 comes with major updates to Voice Mode.
1. Auto-Detection: Mem detects when you join a call (Zoom, Teams, Slack, Google) and offers to take notes.
2. Invisible: No bots join the call. It works locally and privately.
3. Auto-Stop: Forget to hit stop? Mem detects the silence and wraps it up for you.
And also they are introducing Back-to-Back Voice Mode.
You can now jump straight into a new note and start recording immediately. Mem automatically wraps up your previous session and switches you over instantly.
Perfect for rapid-fire brain dumps.

Thymer
This is nicely taking shape, and we received the latest tease on Monday: Nostalgic theme + 4 Tasks left (and if you look closely, the 4 is calculated on the fly. Very impressive!) Unofficial Discord + Reddit.
https://x.com/wcools/status/1993079471734149552
Another of my favorite themes for note-taking, 8-bit nostalgia always works great for focus
That’s all for this week. Thank you very much in advance for reading and I look forward to bringing you more PKM news next week.
