Obsidian is a free note-taking app. Imagine a smart notebook that lives on your computer and phone: you write notes, and the program connects them with each other itself.
- All the notes are stored on your device — nothing gets lost or goes into someone else’s cloud.
- Works on a computer, phone and tablet.
- Free in itself. My System is a ready setup on top of it, so you don’t have to assemble anything by hand.
The main thing: you don't need to be a techie
No programming. You don’t need to set up or “replace” anything — it’s all already assembled and works. You just open it and use it like an ordinary app. Control is via buttons.
One payment — and it all stays with you for good.
$39 once, no subscription. A 22-lesson Obsidian course, lifetime updates at the press of a button, a private knowledge base with step-by-step setup, AI inside your notes without a VPN, and a community that answers questions.
More than 300 people already use the System. Reviews are further down this page.
Who is the System for?
You lack order
Files, thoughts, plans and ideas are scattered across different places, and something is always getting lost.
You want to work with AI — without a VPN and complications
Tired of switching between Notion, Google Calendar and ChatGPT. You want everything in one place.
You don't have time to figure out new programs
To master Obsidian from scratch usually takes weeks of trial and reading forums. Here everything is already ready.
You lack focus
Unnecessary buttons, plugins and settings are removed — only what helps you work remains.
What you get
These are six connected parts that work as a single whole:
I'll be honest: the price has grown, because what you're buying has grown.
This is no longer “download it and forget it”. I develop the System regularly — and you pay once and get everything for life, including what comes next.
💸 Seems expensive?
$39 — that’s one payment, not a subscription.
Notion, ChatGPT and a cloud for syncing separately are monthly expenses. Here they’re gathered into one system, without a VPN, and they stay with you forever.
And what if it’s hard to figure out?
You won’t be left alone — I’ve taken care of that:
- 🎥 A video guide of almost 90 minutes — I calmly show how everything is built and how to use it.
- 💬 A private chat, where I regularly answer questions and release short explanatory videos.
- 🌱 A simplified version of the System — for those who want to start with the very basics. Essentially, you get two options at once.
- 📝 Clear instructions right inside — next to each function.
I also regularly hold online reviews: I look at your knowledge system through the prism of your life (work, study) and advise how to organise it more conveniently specifically for you.
What’s inside: ready sections
All of this is already created — just start using it:
- 🏠 A beautiful home page with buttons for quick access
- 📚 A library and book reading (read right here and save notes)
- 🎬 Films and shows
- ✅ Keeping projects and tasks
- 👕 A wardrobe
- 🍽 Food, recipes, calories and weight by day
- 🔁 Habit tracking
- 🎨 Drawings and any photos in notes
- 🧠 Flashcards for memorising (spaced repetition)
- 🏋️ A workout base
- 📔 A diary: thoughts, tasks, goals and dreams
- 🤖 And a smart AI assistant (more details — below)
By the way, an update came out recently — I added a lot more handy things. Read about it on my Telegram channel — https://t.me/eltonlabs/185
In a word — this isn't a template, but a System for life and knowledge.
One payment — $39. International cards are fine; access lands on the email you enter at checkout.

What it actually looks like
Not presentation mock-ups — real screens of the template. Click any of them to look closer.
How it is arranged inside
Not a pile of notes but a sorted system: PARA — four folders where everything has its place, plus a service folder that hides the templates and scripts out of the way.
What the archive actually contains
118 ready notes — not empty stubs but filled examples: months of journals, book and film cards, workouts, recipes. 33 scripts — the AI tools and automations themselves. Navigation maps (MOC) in every section, so you always know where to go next.
A smart assistant right in your notes
The AI is built into the System and helps in a human way — with simple buttons:
- 💬 Ask for advice or discuss a note
- 🔎 Find what you need by meaning across all your notes
- 🎙 Dictate text by voice
- 📸 Turn a photo into text
- 🍎 Count calories from a food description
- 📺 Make a summary of a video, article or PDF
- 📖 Pick a book or film to suit your mood
Important: the AI only works when you call it.
It does not hang in the background, does not load your device and does not transmit anything without your knowledge. You press a button — you get a result.
📋 The full list of all the functions (for the curious)
You don’t have to read it — it all works with buttons. But if you’re interested in what’s inside:

Function What it does Flashcards (FSRS) Spaced repetition — memorise for the long term New word A word + context → AI explains → adds it to flashcards
One key to all the AIs — without a VPN
The System already has the ObsiMind AI service set up (it’s my personal service). It gives access to all the popular AIs — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity — without a VPN and without complex settings.
You get one key — and everything works.
And when you buy the System, you can test all the AI functions for free.
What is this service, what are the plans?
More details on the site Obsimind
⚙️ For advanced users: your own keys and local AIs
If you’re technically savvy — you can connect OpenRouter with your own key, as well as local models via Ollama and LM Studio right in your vault. But this is entirely optional — the System doesn’t need it to work.

The reviews below were written in Russian — in the private chat and under the Telegram post, where the original screenshots and comments still live. Translated here word for word, nothing added.
Thank you so much! This really is the perfect template 👍 I had been working my way toward it for a long time and probably would never have got there on my own 😅
Bought it… This is the best thing that has happened to me since the beginning of 2026… Thank you for such a colossal piece of work!!! It's a masterpiece.
I have just finished the last video of the personal knowledge system. I am not going to sell this to you — you need it more than I do, so I will simply share my opinion.
It broke me, honestly. Every attempt to set Obsidian up on my own ended with me deleting all the plugins, because I could not get them to work together. Now I look at my vault and I could cry.
— I finally know the hotkeys and I am using them
— every plugin is set up
— every template is there, and nothing has to be invented for hoursThe only thing is that there is a lot to take in at once. But this is not a nuclear physics course in one day — it is far simpler, and the manual always lives inside the vault.
I would sell this for fifty thousand roubles at the very least, because it all looks so sharp, and I am sure it saves a switched-on person a heap of time and effort. Thanks to Elton — and good luck to everyone who did not buy it :)
Hi! For this I am happy to spend the time and write the nicest words about Elton.
The man is a professional. The short version: I tried to build a template like Elton's from the open videos. I managed something, but the time it ate would have killed me. In the end I decided to buy — and calling it a shock says nothing. I found an emerald for that money, and I am still amazed the price has not gone up.
Getting into the private chat was like a fairy tale: constant help from Elton, from other people, and now I give advice myself. New people, a good vibe in the chat.
As someone who did not know what to do with his day, where to move, who kept forgetting important things, left projects and ideas half-finished and had a mess in his head — know that I have now crossed all of that out of my life FOREVER.
Template 10/10 · Support 10/10 · Elton 20/10 · Chat 10/10 · Updates 10/10
Hi everyone, I want to share my opinion about Elton's template. The product is definitely worth its money — the number of people in the private chat and the experience of using it prove that.
The template has scripts and AI features that would take titanic solo work to build; luckily it is all already done. In the private chat you can ask any question and the author himself answers within minutes. We are starting to wonder whether Elton sleeps at all 😄
He solves every problem that comes up and always listens to the community. My own experience is an example: he added the reader for the phone, and the recent update is made entirely of the chat members' wishes — big respect for that.
Every day the product is nicer to use, you dig deeper into Obsidian and start writing scripts yourself (with AI's help, of course). Do you need this template? That is up to you — it is not a pill that solves all your problems, it is a tool that opens up in skilled hands.
Thank you! I am with Bulat — I loved the template too, and Elton's brilliant ideas and the way they are built 🙂
I bought it only a week ago and I am slowly moving my own notes into it. I have not reached the AI features yet, so I am holding off on the update. But even without AI it is a super convenient, well thought-out system.
Agreed, Elton has done great work, and it is a genuinely strong case. I use Obsidian purely for time management (dedicated software is not my thing), but I bought the template to support Elton — and I have picked up a few things for myself. Much appreciated ❤️
Big thanks for the system. I usually prefer to work everything out myself, but with material this good it would have been a sin not to pay — and the price is more than fair.
In the spring I started keeping Obsidian on the PARA system on my own but, as was rightly noted, I drowned in endless improvements: my vault grew a ton of plugins I did not need and I dropped it for the whole summer. Now I am back with fresh energy.
Elton, thank you for the template, for your work and for the possibilities you are opening up for us 🌟
A great author — a great template. Could it be any other way? For beginners it saves months; for the experienced there is plenty to take as well. Very glad to have met you!
Let me add a little. The template comes with a clear video — everyone has seen the kind of videos Elton makes, no need to explain. It all goes down easily and quickly. Even I, at 47 and very far from programming, worked it out in a few hours.
Of course there were questions, but they are solved by watching the video more carefully. And in the chat there are guides in PDF and in video on how to adapt the template for yourself.
The guys have gathered with a super brain and are polishing the template. It is turning out great. They help not only with Obsidian but with other tools too. A huge thank you to everyone!
Assalamu alaikum, I want to leave a review about the template. This is exactly what I had been looking for for so long — everything is structured so perfectly and clearly, every element is logically linked to the rest.
The explanations are as accessible as they get, with no tedious waffle. I especially liked the built-in notes inside the template with study advice. You can feel that it was all thought through to help people bring order to their studies and to their heads. I genuinely enjoy opening Obsidian and exploring it.
Hi everyone, thanks again for this template — it is worth more than the price I paid. Thanks to it I actually started wanting to take notes; before, I just hoarded them and… that was it. Thanks to the systematic approach, taking notes and making summaries became a pleasure, especially for a medical student.
Let me use the occasion to leave my first impressions. I felt real euphoria that “with one click” an architectural, practical and logical order of my knowledge, projects and hobbies was built. That is priceless 😄
I am an “idea generator”, so I rarely follow a plan or a structure — while I work I always doubt and think about how to make it even better, and sometimes I suffer for it, because I get stuck, lost in chaos, and end up procrastinating.
I am very glad that at the decisive moment, when I finally decided to do something about it, I found Obsidian and Elton Labs' take on it 🙏 — and now I find my way around “my own brain” with ease.
P.S. Before this I used Notion and Evernote, but that is nothing compared to Obsidian, let alone this template 🔥
A lot of time freed up at once, and the zoning-out and the procrastination went with it.
I have the twelve-question framework of the CODE method down to automatic. I create tasks daily and tick them off. PARA and Zettelkasten have moved into understanding and reflection. And I try to hold focus on my information field — every day I listen to one video.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience with Obsidian?
No. Everything is explained in the video guide and in the instructions inside. To be sure, you can watch the playlist on YouTube in advance and read the articles on my site.
Is programming required?
No, not at all. Everything is already written, connected and works with buttons. You don’t need to change anything. And if over time you want to adjust something for yourself — it’s done in a couple of clicks, with the built-in AI if you wish.
Does it work without a VPN from Russia?
Yes. The AI functions work without a VPN. There’s also an international mode and a direct connection via OpenRouter.
How long is access granted for?
Lifetime access to everything: the System, updates, materials and the private community. With no time limit — you also get everything that comes out in the future.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, everything is optimised for the phone. I advise starting on a computer and using the phone for quick notes. On an iPad — it’s especially convenient.
Can I transfer my old notes?
Yes. You just need to move the files into the right folders. There’s a separate article about the transition: telegra.ph/Perehod-iz-starogo-shablona-na-novuyu-05-19
What if something doesn't work out?
Inside there are clear instructions for each function, plus a video guide and a private chat where I help. You won’t be left alone.
