What's New in VaultSync for Obsidian

2.0.1

July 28, 2026

Your device connections are now protected after a crash — just update, nothing to set up. • Fixed: after a hard crash or an interrupted start, VaultSync could quietly introduce itself as a brand-new device — your other devices then treated it as a stranger waiting for approval. • Now VaultSync keeps its saved identity: on any unclear state it stops with a clear error instead of replacing it, and it recovers by itself on the next start after a temporary glitch. • Your existing device pairings, notes, and settings stay exactly as they are. • Also includes a small security update to one of the app's underlying components.

User reviews

Feel ripped off

I paid for a year of the notification service, but I feel ripped off, it doesn’t work. I understand the lack of control developers have for background apps in iOS. Apparently sync takes so long that nothing ever happens with this app when notified, except the notification counter increments. if you want to use Obsidian, you still have to open this app first, and then when you’re done, you have to reopen this app in order to sync back. At the very least this app should have shortcut hooks so that a user could set up a shortcut to trigger a sync when Obsidian opens and again when it closes. Without that, the sync service is really worthless.

Not stable

Worked for once, then stopped with lots of “unexpected error” messages. Sync conflicts all over the vault. While other devices running smoothly (so there is nothing actual problem with the sync itself)

It’s working

This app working, as expected ! And have nice GUI) obsidian now very comfortable on iOS) continue testing…
