Really, really good app! The slow startup speed is fixed now! Both, the desktop and the mobile apps start pretty fast. The only thing to improve, IMO, is the finicky "Send to" Obsidian on Android. It often reloads the app every time it's used, even if I just switched from the app (its battery settings are set to "no restrictions", so it shouldn't be killed). Another killer useful feature on mobile would be a quick note feature!

This should be fixed now! Can you confirm? Thank you for your feedback and patience.

I've used Obsidian for a couple years. It's a very good note-taking app. Vault (a paid add-on) makes syncing across devices effortless, but other cloud solutions also work. Composing in markdown's fast: your hands never leave the keyboard. It stores notes in markdown, so there's no lock-in: you can open them in a text editor. Once a note is synced to your device, you can reliably get to it even when you're offline. Quirks are in tables (a bit clunky) and the outline (hard to find on phones).

the app is really great. I'm giving four stars because when I download community plugins, after some days they all just disappear and I have to download them again. (Update) After some Reddit research, I found out that this problem is because my phone automatically clears junk files everyday, I disabled the feature and now the issue no longer exists.

Thank you for downloading our app. We would love to help you with this issue. Please write to us at https://forum.obsidian.md/c/bug-reports/7 so that we can help you.

What's new

- Includes all new functionality and bug fixes up to Obsidian Desktop v1.8.10.
- It is now possible to use the app without giving the "All files" permission, however when doing so you can only store vaults inside the app storage.
- Improved the onboarding flow to make it more clear that Sync is optional and make it easier to jump directly into vault creation.
- Fixed bug where `obsidian://` URIs would not fire their action if the app was previously closed.
