Please consider native apps for macOS!

Obsidian is the kind of excellent app idea that shouldn’t be merely housed in a web wrapper. A true native app would showcase its speed, efficiency, and polish the way a web wrapper/electron app can’t.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up, but of course every Mac user (myself included) would applaud the idea!

Yeah. Trying to support native on 3 OSs would be a lot of work. 5 if you include iOS and Android.

And that would be time not spent developing features.

SwiftUI (or Catalyst) would reduce drastically the time needed to maintain native Apple apps. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yep. And you’re covering two of the most used OSes at once

Hopefully effectively enough that when the devs get the chance to work on a mobile iOS app, making a native macOS version would be a piece of cake.

We’ll see!

But not compared to Windows.

And the mobile apps are going to be lite versions - not duplicating desktop functions.

It’s the classic “best for fewer” vs. “average for most” tension!
