Huawei’s HarmonyOS NEXT is one of the important trend in future operating systems and has significant market potential in China. As a Obsidian user, I eagerly look forward to obsidian adapting to HarmonyOS NEXT, so that we can also enjoy the convenience and efficiency of obsidian on Huawei devices. This would not only help expand obsidian’s user base in the Chinese market but also further enhance the brand’s influence.

Obsidian is a very good note-taking app. I recently want to change to a Huawei phone. Huawei phones have designed a new HarmoneyOS Next. I hope Obsidian can be adapted to HarmoneyOS Next.
Thank you very much!

I really want to buy Huawei, so I’m curious if Obsidian Team would make the HuaweiOS Next version of Obsidian. Obsidian is my only trusted knowledge manager for me.

I love Obsidian. Really love it. It’s where I think, learn, and build my second brain—across my Windows laptop, Android phone, and even a dusty old Linux tablet. But now, there’s a gap: my daily driver is a HarmonyOS device, and I miss Obsidian like a lost limb.
I’m not alone. Thousands of us in China (and beyond!) are watching HarmonyOS grow into something truly independent—not just “Android without Google.” It’s fast, privacy-focused, and everywhere here. But every time I try to sideload Obsidian’s APK, I hit quirks: broken gestures, weird file permissions, or sync hiccups. I just want my vaults to work like they do everywhere else.
Why This Matters Beyond Just Me:
HarmonyOS isn’t niche anymore. Huawei sold 50M+ flagship devices last year—many to students, researchers, and writers who’d adore Obsidian.
We’re hacking around it (Termux, outdated APKs, janky web apps), but it’s like using a paperclip to hold a bridge together.
The alternative? People settle for closed, cloud-bound notes apps—the opposite of what makes Obsidian magical.
A Humble Request:
If Obsidian could officially support HarmonyOS—even just a basic native build—you’d unlock:
A massive, engaged user base (we’re thirsty for good PKM tools here!)
Stronger privacy (HarmonyOS lets apps run fully offline, no Google bits!)
A true cross-platform crown (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS… and HarmonyOS? Legendary.)
I’m not asking for fancy features—just a home for our vaults in one of the world’s biggest ecosystems. Many of us would beta-test, translate docs, or even crowdfund development.
What do you think? Could Obsidian ever land on HarmonyOS?

The iteration and update of just the Android version alone are already very slow. So I’m pessimistic about the official intentions. Hahaha. But it’s okay. Using it on a computer alone is already good enough.
