A lot of this was already doable, since it's built on almost entirely plain text files, but a friendlier interface is always welcome, and being able to work with bases is a huge plus.
I welcome this "scriptability" improvement. I often have to do some bulk updates across a few dozen files and while I can whip up python or sed - I'd rest assured there's a more stable interface. but more importantly it opens doors to integrations with applescript and claude and whatnot

You couldn’t use Obsidian sync headless though.
I think you still can't... but probably on the roadmap since that will be killer

i wonder what usecase they are targeting. one of the nice things in obsidian is to work with the text; iterating on format and contend.

obsidian handles a lot of useful little things out of the box, like updating links when you move files/attachments
another big win for the CLI is access to dynamic note database queries via Obsidian Bases. major leverage for agents
