It’s really bad today, but this is typically the case.

 

The desktop app version is about a thousand times as slow as just loading it in chrome.  I like running the app because it helps me stay organized, but I experienced many minutes, quits and restarting with the desktop app.  I try using the web and it loads in 3 seconds.

 

Are other people having the same experience?

Hi ​@Jake Wagner,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and I'm really sorry to hear how frustrating the desktop app performance has been for you, especially when compared to the browser version.

 

The app should absolutely not be lagging to the point of requiring multiple restarts. In the meantime, here are a few steps you can try that have helped others:

  • Clear the app cache: Go to Settings > Advanced > Clear cache within the Miro desktop app. This often resolves sluggish performance.

  • Update to the latest app version: Make sure you're running the most recent version of the Miro desktop app, as performance improvements are released regularly.

  • Try disabling hardware acceleration: In some cases, toggling this setting off (via Settings) improves speed.

  • Check for other resource-heavy apps running in the background that may be impacting memory or CPU usage.

If the steps above did not help and if you’re open to it, we’d love to collect a bit more detail via a support ticket so our team can look into logs and help pinpoint the cause.

 

Let me know and I can start that process for you!
