What's New in Actions For Obsidian

2026.1.0

April 22, 2026

No visible new features, but increased stability, especially for those of you on iOS 26. Heads-up: this release raises the minimum requirement to iOS 18.4. If you're on an older OS, the previous version 2025.2.x will keep working for the foreseeable future. ■ No Longer Broken • If you held a macOS-only license and opened the paywall to add iOS, the sheet would flash a "License Verified" toast and close on the spot, making the upgrade impossible. Fixed! Single-platform license holders can now actually see, and buy, the upgrade offering. Sorry for the mess. • The "License Verified" toast no longer appears for customers without a license, and no longer flashes on every routine open of the License tab. It now only shows up when it actually means something: after a successful purchase, after a successful restore, or when you explicitly retry a failed license check. • The app title on the Home tab no longer drifts off-center when it wraps to multiple lines. ■ Changes • Under the hood, the entire communication layer between AFO and Obsidian's "Actions URI" plugin was rewritten from scratch. You shouldn't notice a difference in day-to-day use, but if an Obsidian call ever hangs, you'll now get a clear timeout error after 20 seconds instead of waiting indefinitely.

Works but has a major bug

This works, but when the action is finished it behaves weirdly. Instead of staying in Obsidian (even if “reveal note” is selected in Shortcuts) it returns to the Actions app. If you change the app settings to open Obsidian on completion, it shows a black screen instead of opening Obsidian.

Incredible Productivity Boost

I’m pretty amazed that an app like this even exists. I’ve just set up my first action. Action Button > Record > Transcribe > Write to New Note

Works flawlessly.

I was worried when I noticed that Obsidian didn’t support Shortcuts natively, but this app fixes that entirely.

Just amazing work!

This set of actions is honestly incredible. Fantastic work and just want to say thank you to the dev!

Excellent

Extensive list of actions covering almost all requirements. The developer has done well to work around the requirements of Apple and obsidian to bring the two together.

Developer support is very prompt and helpful

What a fantastic experience! Truly a game-changer!

I initially tried it thinking I probably wouldn’t buy it, but after just three days, I’ve already found several uses for it. I know it will be incredibly useful for integrating with Obsidian across all my devices. I really appreciate that they offer a reasonable free trial period of 14 days without requiring you to sign up before trying it out! If you enjoy logging in Obsidian and dislike doing everything manually, you won’t regret giving it a try!
