Unlike browser-based drawing tools, Obsidian-Excalidraw stores every file as plain text inside your local vault, meaning your work is yours forever, private, and survives any service shutting down. Excalidraw drawings are saved as text files rather than proprietary binary formats, making them future-proof and scriptable. For knowledge workers who think in years, not months, this local-first posture is the entire reason to choose the tool.
