For me, the missing feature is usually adding a note on my computer and accessing it seconds later on my phone. There are a lot of notes that would be tedious to create on my phone because of their complexity, but which I use on the go. Examples are workout plans, shopping notes, and travel notes. With Evernote, I create the note on my computer, walk out the door, and already have access on my phone.

I love the simplicity and power of Obsidian. It also lets me sync desktop and iPhone for free via iCloud.

How does that happen? Is it triggered by changes, or can I trigger it myself by flicking the page down? As long as the sync isn't determined by a schedule or hidden inside a menu, it could work for me.

As far as I know, there’s no specific button or action to trigger iCloud sync. I haven't notice issues, but I use the mobile Obsidian app much less frequently. It always seems updated to me.

This [source](https://help.noteplan.co/article/86-how-to-force-sync) says that opening the iCloud Drive on Finder will trigger sync. On the mobile Obsidian app, you can flicker the page down to download updated data, obviously it will only work if the more recent data was uploaded.
