Migration, Coexistence, and Choice

Migrating from Obsidian to Aino LifeOS: Obsidian vault management on the left, the same example vault opened in Aino LifeOS on the right

If you are using the Obsidian LifeOS plugin, you can open the same Vault directly in Aino LifeOS. The point is not that you must migrate; it is that you can migrate, coexist, or keep using Obsidian + LifeOS Pro.

Decide before migrating

If you rely on the Obsidian plugin ecosystem, keep using Obsidian + LifeOS Pro. If you want a more out-of-the-box AI desktop workspace, try Aino. See Obsidian vs Aino.

Compatibility

Aino LifeOS is fully compatible with Obsidian vault directory structures:

  • Same Markdown file format
  • Compatible Wikilink syntax
  • Compatible Frontmatter YAML format
  • Compatible periodic notes directory structure
  • Compatible PARA folder organization

Open an Existing Vault

  1. Open vault -- Directly open your Obsidian vault folder in Aino LifeOS
  2. Configure AI -- Set up AI models in settings (Aino LifeOS has built-in AI, no plugin dependency)
  3. Configure calendar -- If using Calendar Pro, reconfigure CalDAV/Google Calendar in settings

Coexistence

Aino LifeOS and Obsidian can use the same vault folder simultaneously without data conflicts.

Tip

We recommend editing a file with only one app at a time to avoid write conflicts.
