Obsidian Mobile is very battery hungry, even more so than browsers like Safari and Firefox. It always rates as the most battery hungry app in Settings > Battery.
Besides turning all plug-ins off (defeating main purpose of app), what are some strategies to minimise consumption?
Turn off some plugins? Use it less? Have a smaller vault?
I haven’t noticed Obsidian using unusual amounts of energy. I was surprised to find, as you say, that Obsidian is above Safari in the listing. But when I looked in detail, that seems to be because I’ve been using Obsidian more than Safari. In any hour where I used both apps, Safari is above Obsidian — but Obsidian appears in more hours.
