Introduction to Bases

Bases is a core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database. With bases you can organize everything from projects to travel plans, reading lists, and more.

Using a base you can view, edit, sort, and filter files and their properties. Each base can have several views, and different layouts such as tables and cards. Below is an example of table view where each row is a file, and each column is a property of that file.

All the data in Obsidian Bases is stored in your local Markdown files and their properties. The views are described by the Bases syntax, which can be saved as a .base file or embedded in code blocks within your Markdown files.
