Includes all new functionality and bug fixes up to Obsidian Desktop v1.9.10.

Improvements

  • The app now smoothly resizes when the on-screen keyboard appears and disappears.
  • Two-finger swipe to navigate forward and backwards in tab history will now be more responsive. On iOS, this gesture is disabled when the keyboard is active to avoid interfering with iOS's two-finger cursor movement gesture.
  • The app now better adapts to landscape mode.
  • It is now possible to reset your Obsidian account password from the initial onboarding flow.
  • You can now open the file context menu by pressing and holding on the file name in the Search view.
  • Search inputs are automatically focused when an external keyboard is attached.
  • Several improvements to the "Follow link" tooltip that appears in source mode. The tooltip now more reliably opens the link, it also shows and hides more consistently.
  • Swipe down on notices to dismiss them.
  • Canvas: Added 'Duplicate' option to the node context menu.
  • The default toolbar now shows undo and redo at the start of the row.

No longer broken

  • Ensure the sidebar collapses after opening a file from the file explorer.
  • Minor fixes to the layout when sidebars are pinned on tablet.
  • Navigation bar now uses "+" to open a new tab, and a search icon for opening the quick switcher.
  • Graph view: Dragging force sliders will no longer cause sidebars to slide open.
  • "Split down" and "Split right" no longer appear in the context menu for the sidebar tabs.
  • Fixed appearance of sidebar if you close all tabs.
  • Fixed "File recovery" dialog not navigable on tablet devices.

iOS

  • App icon now adapts to home screen appearance.
  • Pressing and holding on links in Live Preview now shows the context menu.
  • Popovers can no longer overlap with OS elements such as the Dynamic Island and navigation bar.
  • Added Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab to switch between tabs on iPad.
  • Fixed toolbar placement on iPad when using Stage Manager or the floating keyboard.

Android

  • Pressing the 'back' button to exit the app now minimizes instead of quitting.
  • Fix app crash on font selection for Android 9 or earlier.
  • The app is now edge-to-edge, meaning the status bar and navigation bar will always fit in with the rest of the app.
  • Improved how the app layout adapts to the on-screen keyboard.
  • App now resizes correctly in split-screen mode.
  • Added missing 500 font weight for Inter.
