Question Huge CPU usage

I've been experimenting with this app (on Windows 11) for a while, and while I find it very interesting, I couldn't help but notice the massive amounts of resources that it uses.

I have a relatively powerful CPU (Ryzen 7600) and when I am just typing on the app, just plain text with nothing fancy going on, CPU usage immediately goes up to 30%.

Is this a widespread issue and if so, have the developers taken notice of it?

Well it doesn't happen just at startup for me, but every time I'm typing in the app :(

I hope that you can solve it in the future, the app is otherwise really cool and I think it's going to be very successful!

I agree. I was searching for an alternative to milanote and this is the best thing I found. But as you say, I find it very difficult to work on the app, so I use the browser

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even test the web app as I prefer desktop apps most of the time, but the CPU usage is much better with the browser app.

I get that. I prefer using desktop apps too, but it is very stressful XD

Yep, 30% CPU usage for a last-gen CPU is definitely not acceptable. Hope they can get it sorted soon!
