New Obsidian user on macOS and iOS. Love it so far.
I’ve set a custom theme on macOS and iOS. Works great. Then I set a custom font for editing on macOS but the font isn’t in iOS. iOS then changes to TimesNewRoman (I think) because the macOS set font can’t be found.
I know the iOS version is new but does anyone know a way to have different theme/font settings per device but still access and edit the same vault?
I have not done this, but you can use different settings for every synch end-point, so you can use one theme for mobile and a different theme for desktop.
Under synch settings, you can choose what that device synchs:
I’m not finding those options in macOS or iOS. I turned on the sync core plugin but only see a login screen. Are these options only for the paid Obsidian Sync?
@austin Are those settings in the ObsidianSync area?
You can use different configuration folders for mobile and desktop (Settings > About > Override config folder). You will have to choose a name for the folder. .obsidian.mobile is an example.
Your settings will not sync between devices, but you will be able to choose a different theme or font for each device.
Yes, those are options for Obsidian Sync (paid service).
@JonathanBuchh The “Override config folder” setting was exactly what I was looking for.
I created the folder and set Obsidian (iPhone) to use that. Relaunched with the default theme and no plugins. Two other devices remain in sync (theme/plugins/etc) while the iPhone is off on it’s own theme wise.
