MPRESS vs Obsidian

MPRESS is an executable packer for compressing programs and libraries on Windows and macOS. It supports PE32, PE32+,.NET, and MAC-DARWIN executable formats, using the LZMAT compression library with optional LZMA compression. It can compress code, data, and resources, and strip relocation, debug information, exceptions, and other information. For.NET executables it supports Framework targets 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 without requiring the.NET Framework to be installed. A command-line interface can be used from batch files or make files. The README describes in-place decompression and says it has no memory overhead or other drawbacks; it also says compressed programs run without runtime performance penalties and may start faster from slow removable media or a network. MPRESS's compatibility list names Windows 9x, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, and Windows 8, along with mac-darwin-i386, mac-darwin-x86_64, mac-darwin-ub, and Mac OS 10.3 and 10.4. The listed plan costs nothing.

Obsidian is a note-taking app for keeping thoughts in linked notes. It saves notes as plain-text Markdown files on your device, where they remain accessible offline. Its Graph view shows relationships formed by internal links, and Canvas provides an open space to arrange notes alongside attachments and web pages. The app includes core plugins and supports community plugins, themes, and an open API for customization. The Web Clipper is available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc, Orion, and Vivaldi. Obsidian has a free plan at free, with no sign-up required. Optional Sync plans cost $5 a month for Sync Standard or $10 a month for Sync Plus; their storage and file-size limits differ. Publish costs $10 a month and hosts a site up to 4GB. Obsidian says Sync uses AES-256 end-to-end encryption, and its security page lists third-party audits. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, plus extension support.
