Quick Notes app causes high CPU usage, lag and battery drain
Hi! I use Quick Notes all the time. Initially, it was a little bit laggy, but I did not pay attention to it, but recently it was constantly barely working for a month to come. And I started to research what might be the issue.
When I opened system monitoring app I was shocked to see that my Notes up can sometimes jump even higher than 100% of CPU usage on my M1 Pro. This is how I realized why it has such bad performance.
For context, I only have handful of notes, where each of it is just a text without fancy styling, images, emoji, etc. Which bothers me even more: why such lightweight notes are causing so much trouble? After completely closing and opening Notes app it work fine for some time, but as I type more, and work more with text the performance start to decline really quickly. Restarting MacBook doesn't help.
I tried to search for this solution. One suggestion told me to use titles for each note. Which is by default bizarre and sometimes uncomfortable behavior. But it did not help me anyway.
Does anyone know what is going on? I looked through other forums and apple community posts. On the one hand, I'm glad to know that this is somewhat common issue, but on the other hand, I wasn't able to find something that can help me to fix my specific case. Would love to hear other's opinion and maybe their stories how they fixed it for themselves. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Here's my CPU usage at 108% as the example...
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3
