# A few thoughts on using the Obsidian app on the Supernote. 2024-12-12 ### All the pieces are finally clicking into place. After a few days with the [new Obsidian vault I set up for the Supernote](https://youtu.be/SpUNK688Dn4), it’s time to discuss some other little tweaks I made and issues I experienced. I still haven’t found a solution for the context menus that pop up when I hover the pen over clickable items. In the video below, you can see it happening on Obsidian, but it’s also affecting Syncthing. ![[vladcampos.com/Static/Toolbox/Obsidian/Obsidian posts|Obsidian posts]] At first, I thought it was linked to sideloaded apps, but it’s not happening to all the apps I installed, and I can see it happening when I’m using Obsidian on my computer. In other words, it appears to be a normal behavior found in certain apps, and I'll have to investigate further to resolve this issue.  ### Battery The battery is also draining faster than usual. It’s not something crazy fast, but it was bothering me, so I decided to try a different configuration on Syncthing. >[!tip] >![[vladcampos.com/Static/Toolbox/Syncthing/Android/Less synchronizations per day]] I hope it will improve the battery situation. The drawback is that I'll have to pay more attention to the synchronization status, but I am fine with that. ### Supernote Cloud & Tasks Since we’re talking about sync, I went back to the Supernote cloud. In my opinion, it's a better option, since I can see and manipulate files seamlessly on the phone and computer companion apps, where, by the way, I can also manage tasks.  I love how the Tasks app works seamlessly with notes, but there's one thing that's still driving me crazy. As you already know, I see Inboxes as a huge waste of time, so when a system has a folder like that the user cannot remove, I just ignore it. However, the Supernote forces me to use it. ![[vladcampos.com/Static/Toolbox/Supernote/Supernote posts]] On the Mac or Android companion apps, I can open a specific list and create takes there, but that's still not possible to do that when creating tasks on notes. ### Syncthing Back to the sync topic, the one thing the Supernote cloud was not as efficient as #Google-Drive, was giving me quick access to my sketches exported to JPG or PNG. But, as I show in the video below, I’m now doing this using Syncthing.  I am still working on improving my workflow to efficiently combine what the Supernote and Obsidian do best, but I am already thrilled with what I have accomplished so far. ![[vladcampos.com/Timeline/Blog/Posts|Posts]]
