Released 1 July 2026
Decks 2.4.4 — reliability & performance
A fix-and-speed release: decks can no longer be wrongly removed on startup, Obsidian opens faster with Decks installed, and the deck list refreshes much quicker in large vaults.
Fixed: decks no longer disappear on reload
Before Obsidian finished indexing your notes on startup, Decks could briefly see flashcard files as "missing" and remove those decks. Decks now only removes a deck when its source file is actually gone from the vault — never because the vault is still loading — so your decks stay put across reloads.
Faster startup
The database no longer loads on Obsidian's critical startup path — the plugin hands off and finishes initializing in the background, so the window appears sooner. The deck list still paints instantly from saved data once ready.
Faster deck list in big vaults
Refreshing deck stats used to run several database queries per deck (and again per tag group) — hundreds of round-trips with many decks. It now uses a couple of batched queries for the whole vault, so the list updates near-instantly no matter how many decks you have.
Upgrade-safe: nothing in your vault changes.
