Obsidian on macOS Big Sur (11.2.1) becomes laggy

Hi all.

After upgrading to macOS Big Sur, Obsidian becomes so laggy. When I’m typing, it sometimes needs 2-3 seconds to complete. I could not find a pattern that will explain when it happens.

I found a similar problem happening in VS code terminal. The suggested solution is running a command like the below.

codesign --remove-signature /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Code\ Helper\ (Renderer).app

Do you suggest running a same command on “/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/Frameworks/Obsidian Helper (Renderer).app” ?

I do not know how to reverse the command if anything goes worse.

It is so annoying to wait when note-taking. Any help will be appreciated.

I tried the command. There are no lags for 2 days. I believe there is something special about editors in Big Sur.

what’s your installer version?

#6

Ok, so I don’t know. It’s strange that you are the only one reporting this.

#8

OK, this is an upstream bug with electron. We will fix it once they release a fix.

@cagdur are you using third party plugins? try disabling them.

#10

The solution is enough for me for now. However, it is good to hear that for the long term. Obsidian takes place in most of my daily work.

#11

I have tried to disable all third party plugins but it did not work.
