What is the DYNASTY* OBSIDIAN charge?

Why it shows up like this

A billing statement line showing DYNASTY* OBSIDIAN indicates a recurring subscription payment processed by Dynasty Technology Inc. for private cloud services. This transaction reflects an Obsidian Encrypted Sync & Publish plan, which provides end-to-end encrypted note synchronization across multiple desktop and mobile devices or web publishing features for markdown users.

Users typically encounter this charge when maintaining an active monthly or annual subscription for encrypted multi-device vault syncing and data backup. Statement descriptors may appear as OBSIDIAN SYNC or DYNASTY TECH MD depending on how the merchant payment processor handles the transaction. Plans operate on an automatic renewal schedule unless cancelled prior to the next billing date through the user account portal.

If you do not recognize this charge on your bank statement, confirm whether another person in your household utilizes the note-taking application on their personal devices. You can sign into your account dashboard on the official website to review active subscriptions, download payment receipts, turn off auto-renewals, or contact customer support for detailed billing inquiries and refund requests. Keeping close track of your monthly statements ensures complete financial security and prevents unexpected surprises from recurring charges.
