4 ways to reduce Insomnia RAM usage
1 Use scratch pad mode
Local-only mode avoids cloud sync overhead.
2 Disable unused plugins
Each plugin adds startup memory.
3 Archive old collections
Reduces the amount of data Insomnia loads into memory.
4 Consider Bruno
If even Insomnia feels heavy, Bruno at 120 MB is the next step down.
