Introducing Bases, a new 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.

Bases are now available in #Obsidian 1.9.0 for early access users.

With Obsidian Bases, your data is backed by your local Markdown files and properties stored in frontmatter. To support the new query capabilities, we're introducing the .base file format and syntax.
