Knowledge you can act on

People who want a complete knowledge-to-action system that works in the browser and stays useful before adding plugins.

A workflow to try

Keep an architecture decision useful after the requirements change.

Start with one project. Keep your sources, inspect the evidence, and review the next step in the same workspace.

Start free. No card required. Keep your original export while you try Phasoric.

Put your knowledge to work

Keep an architecture decision useful after the requirements change.

A workflow to try with one small project in Phasoric.

  1. 1.

    Bring a small project from your vault and inspect the import.

  2. 2.

    Build a living brief from selected sources and inspect its citations.

  3. 3.

    Review affected sections and the decision before approving a follow-up.

Keep a brief current

Living briefs flag sections whose sources have changed. Refresh affected sections, retain earlier versions, and decide what is ready to use.

Know what needs attention

Watches surface observations from selected sources in Pulse. Inspect the evidence and turn a useful finding into a proposed follow-up.

Learn from the decision

Record expectations and later observations in Strata. Review the outcome against selected evidence and keep corrections alongside the original history.

Make reviews repeatable

Use saved Quarries and editable questions for project or research reviews. Save your observations and preview a reusable summary note through Forge.

Brief compilation depends on your plan and configured model. Device schedules run while the app is active; browser-closed Watches require an eligible hosted plan and supported hosted sources. Source changes prompt a review; they do not automatically reverse decisions or approve actions.

The signature difference

From source to decision to next step.

Pulse brings changes to your attention. Strata keeps the reasoning behind decisions. Quarries organize the evidence, and Forge turns reviewed proposals into action.

Move your Obsidian knowledge

A guided migration, not a folder dump.

The free Move to Phasoric wizard inspects everything before it writes, preserves the portable structure you depend on, and creates a report you can keep.

Start the migration
1 · Choose

Bring the real source

Choose the complete Obsidian vault folder. No export or plugin is required.

2 · Review

See the preflight

Phasoric inventories notes, folders, attachments, and existing-path collisions while ignoring .obsidian and Git metadata.

3 · Move

Keep what matters

The preflight reports how supported folder structure, filenames, Markdown, properties, timestamps, internal links, and attachments will be carried over.

Your original vault is read locally and never modified. Existing paths are skipped by default, making the wizard safe to retry.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Phasoric vs Obsidian.

Is Phasoric an Obsidian replacement?

Phasoric can replace Obsidian for people who want portable Markdown plus a complete browser workspace, built-in structured knowledge, and private intelligence. Obsidian remains a stronger fit when a mature community plugin or deeply customized desktop setup is essential.

Can I move an Obsidian vault to Phasoric without changing the original?

Yes. Phasoric reads the selected vault locally, previews notes, folders, attachments, links, and collisions, and does not modify the original vault.

Do Phasoric and Obsidian both use Markdown files?

Yes. Both products use portable Markdown files. Phasoric keeps Markdown as the source of truth while adding supported browser, knowledge, structured-work, and approval-first workflows.

Which is better for browser access, Phasoric or Obsidian?

Phasoric provides a full browser editing workspace. Obsidian is primarily a desktop and mobile application and does not currently provide an official full web editor.
