Obsidian constantly lags, even with new vault

Help
1

I have tried most of the suggestions I could find in the forums, e.g. deleting caches, disabling community plugins, etc., but nothing has helped.

Every time I click anything, a different tab, scroll up/down through a note, click a menu or a click a folder to open the drop-down, it hangs for several seconds with the spinning rainbow ball (I’m using a mac).

I’ve transferred all my notes and made a new vault without community plugins but it’s still lagging. Vault is stored with iCloud.

Anybody that know what could cause the problem?

Here’s my debug info:

Some things you could try (which you may have already):

  • Restart the device.
  • Reinstall Obsidian.
  • Try a non-iCloud vault.

Thanks, saved it on another vault and it’s running smooth again :slight_smile:

Did you switch to a non-iCloud vault, or another iCloud vault?
