After closing and reopening Obsidian, it takes around 5–10 seconds(depend) to load the vault. If there were an option to keep it running in the background, it would make note-taking much smoother.
Android automatically terminates inactive sessions after a certain period unless the app has special permissions to stay alive. Since Obsidian doesn’t persist in the background, it often restarts when switching back from another app.
I frequently take notes in a stepwise manner, constantly jumping between apps. The problem is that every time I switch back to Obsidian, it often restarts, which is frustrating. First, there’s the load time; second, I have enabled the “Open daily notes at startup” feature, which means I don’t return to the exact note I was working on.
For example, if I’m reading How to Talk to Anyone and jotting down notes, I need to switch between my EPUB reader and Obsidian repeatedly. But when I return to Obsidian and see it restarting, it disrupts my workflow and kills my focus. It’s incredibly frustrating.
A background running option or a way to prevent automatic termination would greatly improve the experience.
