- Obsidian's source code is closed and its macOS app lacks a checksum.
- Obsidian is not distributed through the Mac App Store, raising questions about sandboxing and security.
- Users often grant Obsidian access to sensitive folders, increasing potential risks.
- Community Plugins, while popular, add another layer of security concerns.
- The situation is somewhat similar to VSCode, but VSCode is open-source and benefits from stricter reviews.
- Obsidian's philosophy and utility are praised, but its security risks need more attention.
