Bases is a [core plugin](https://help.obsidian.md/plugins) that lets you create database-like views of your notes. Using a base you can view, edit, sort, and filter files and their [properties](https://help.obsidian.md/properties). Bases can help you organize everything from projects to travel plans, reading lists, and more.
|
|
|
|
Each base can have several [views](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/views) with different layouts such as tables and cards. Below is an example of table view where each row is a file, and each column is a property of that file.

All the data in Obsidian Bases is stored in your local [Markdown](https://help.obsidian.md/syntax) files and their [properties](https://help.obsidian.md/properties). The views are described by the [Bases syntax](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/syntax), which can be saved as a `.base` file or [embedded](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/create-base#Embed%20a%20base) in code blocks within your Markdown files.
