# Boot Booster

**Less waiting. Faster access to your notes.**

Boot Booster cuts startup work in large Android vaults so you can get to your notes sooner.

## Features

- Open your vault sooner by reusing its saved file list.
- Cut work from workspace restoration and large plugin file reads.
- Follow background verification and compare local startup times.

## How it works

The first startup records a file inventory. Later startups can use it provisionally while checking real files in the background. Notes are checked before opening; writes require fresh checks. Workspace display hints reuse Obsidian's deferred views. Large plugin files use Android's local file-reading route without changing other plugins' execution order.

The plugin uses internal Obsidian APIs. Note contents are not cached. Inventories and startup records stay on this device; file reading contacts only localhost. No external data transmission or self-updates.

Search and query results may be incomplete during verification. If verification fails, set **File list optimization** to **Off** and restart. External apps' writes are not locked. Startup timings are observations, not predictions. See [compatibility and testing](docs/testing.md#compatibility).
