Obsidian #
I use Obsidian with macOS 10.15 Catalina, iOS 17, and iPadOS 15. Unless stated otherwise, everything mentioned here should work everywhere.
If some plugin does not actually work on mobile, but it tries to load every time nonetheless, putting
"isDesktopOnly": trueinvault/.obsidian/plugins/plugin-name/manifest.jsonwill turn it off on mobile.
Admin #
Sync between devices #
Do not use iCloud WITH git. Pick one.
Working with multiple vaults #
Set a different accent colour for each vault for a more obvious visual reminder.
Useful settings & functionalities #
Hotkeys to add #
Toggle blockquote: command+shift+. (Ref)
Foldable callouts #
You can make a callout foldable by adding a plus (+) or a minus (-) directly after the type identifier.
This works in live preview as well. Example:
