Includes all new functionality and bug fixes up to Obsidian Desktop v1.8.10.

Improvements

  • On Android, 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.
  • A small banner requesting feedback may appear at the top of settings. This is only visible for users with significant app usage. Once dismissed, it will never ask you again.
  • Improved the onboarding flow to make it more clear that Sync is optional and make it easier to jump directly into vault creation.

No longer broken

  • Shared Sync vaults are now included in the list of existing vaults during onboarding.
  • Fixed bug where obsidian:// URIs would not fire their action if the app was previously closed.
  • The navigation bar now shows up immediately when the keyboard closes.
  • On Android, closing the keyboard keeps the editor focused. This fixes some keyboard functions like voice-to-text.
