If you know, you know. Obsidian is possibly the best thing for keeping info that you'll ever try. It is for me. Incredibly generous program, and the mobile app is just as good. Used to be slow for me. I learned not to stack 1000's of mixed files (zips, exe's, full program folders) in your vault, and it's fine. much quicker now, on top of that.

Load time should be much improved now! Let us know if it's better. You can also go to General Settings and click the stopwatch icon to see a report of what parts are slow to load. Some community plugins can make load time longer.

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 is literally the best note-taking app i've ever seen in my entire freakin life. Like literally, i cannot find one, literally one con that this app has. It's good in note taking, formatting, sharing notes, navigating your notes every single thing...This app is literally good at every single things possible. Especially the zettlekasten, it just makes it so easier to navigate! And the best part? It works offline. So even when i don't have internet and i need to take notes i can just..Go ahead!

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.
