Obsidian Device Profiles
Two config folders ship in the vault. Pick per device under Settings → About → Override config folder (requires app restart).
| Device | Config folder | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Mac Studio / Windows | .obsidian (default) | Full: graph view, backlinks, outline, page preview, Templater + Dataview + Calendar (install once from Community Plugins — the list is preconfigured) |
| iPad / phone | .obsidian-mobile | Minimal UI: 16px base font, no graph, no Dataview, lecture-capture template one tap away (first toolbar button = Insert template → templates/lecture-capture.md) |
Notes:
workspace.json/workspace-mobile.jsonare device-local and gitignored — layout never syncs, settings do.- Desktop graph colour groups mirror the wiki: one colour per course, connection notes yellow.
- Community plugin binaries are not committed; Obsidian prompts to install/enable from
community-plugins.jsonon desktop. Mobile intentionally runs zero community plugins (speed, battery, capture reliability).
