A contact is a name and a few facts. It fits on an index card. It doesn't need a server.

Most CRMs ask you to move your people into their app. I wanted the app to move into my notes. So I built Kith, a plugin for Obsidian.

What it is

Every person is a Markdown note. Kith reads those notes and shows them as a table, cards, a kanban board or a graph. Open a person and you see their notes and a timeline. Open a company and you see who works there.

It remembers what I forget. When we last spoke. When I should write again. Whose birthday is next week.

What it isn't

It isn't a database. It isn't an account. It isn't a cloud, because there is no cloud.

It also leaves your notes alone. Point it at a folder of people and it reads, it doesn't rewrite. Milano and Milan are the same city, so Kith treats them that way.

It follows file over app. Delete the plugin and you lose the views. You keep the people.

Try it

Kith is free and open source. Install it with BRAT from Gusions/obsidian-kith, or copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css into .obsidian/plugins/kith/. You need Obsidian 1.10 or later, and I've tested it on desktop and mobile.

It's small and early. If it breaks, tell me.

A contact is a note. Kith just helps you read it.

]]> Hello, this is Gusions https://gusions.com/hello https://gusions.com/hello Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Why this site exists and what I plan to write about here. This is the first post. I wanted a place of my own to keep thoughts and experiences in one spot, in a form that is simple, readable and mine.

Expect short notes more than polished essays: what I'm learning, what worked, what didn't. Some will be about work, some about the things I build, some just about how I think.
