How to cancel Obsidian Sync

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Obsidian Sync — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Obsidian Sync bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Obsidian Sync in 5 steps

  1. Sign in to your Obsidian account at obsidian.md.
  2. Open your 'Account' page → 'Sync' / 'Publish' subscriptions.
  3. Select 'Cancel subscription' for Sync (or Publish) and follow the prompts.
  4. Cancel before your renewal date — monthly and annual plans auto-renew.
  5. Confirm the cancellation.

What happens after you cancel

The Obsidian app itself is free; Sync and Publish are the paid subscriptions. Cancelling stops future charges and your local notes stay on your device. Cancel before your renewal date. Keep the confirmation.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Obsidian Sync/Publish are billed on obsidian.md — there's no app-store subscription to manage.

Charged after cancelling Obsidian Sync?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Obsidian Sync — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Obsidian Sync charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Obsidian Sync keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Obsidian Sync.
Does cancelling Obsidian Sync delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Obsidian Sync's settings.
How do I know my Obsidian Sync cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Obsidian Sync and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
