Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Obsidian power users managing 3+ vaults spread across drives or folders. No search volume data, but the pain (manual vault switching, no unified index) targets a niche of note-takers doing complex knowledge work.
Competition & the opening
Dendron and Logseq both have native multi-vault/multi-graph support built-in; Obsidian Vaults Linker and Dataview offer partial solutions via symlinks or cross-vault queries. Obsidian Sync + folder symlinks provide a free workaround. Market is crowded (6/10) with native solutions already embedded in competitors and partial built-in Obsidian features.
What's hard to build
Obsidian's vault architecture treats each vault as a separate, isolated Electron context with its own plugin instance. Discovering and indexing multiple vaults requires either launching Obsidian multiple times (defeating the purpose) or building a separate indexing daemon outside Obsidian that stays in sync—non-trivial cross-process state management and data consistency.
Why now
Obsidian users managing multiple vaults face friction that native multi-vault support in Dendron and Logseq has proven is a real workflow demand.
