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!

The missing link between Obsidian and Apple devices
I’m so grateful this exist. Wanted to automate writing my Daily Notes in an easy and especially very quick manner. Using this app with Apple shortcuts I can now write journal entries instantly, using an input prompt. Just as quick as using the native Apple Notes app (but with all the open and cross platform benefits that Obsidian brings)
Also what helped is the recent ability from Apple to keep the Obsidian iCloud folder downloaded, so it doesn’t need to sync on startup.
Thank you Dev!

Great tool, great support
The utility provides a lot of extra automation functionality, and the support is outstanding.

Great developer
Very useful app!
Works with Latest MacOS update
This thing works! Thank you, I’ve retracted my other review and re-submitting this one. Looks like the app-intents/shortcuts were bugged out on my previous version of MacOS.
Works great!
Everything works really well. It’s a great way to automate your journaling and notetaking workflows with Obsidian.
Super hilfreich
Ich benutze diese Shortcuts in vielen Bereichen. Z.B. erstelle ich meine Daily Note und füge alle Termine aus meinem Kalender, alle Tasks aus Things und das aktuelle Wetter hinzu. Ein anderes Szenario ist das erstellen von Projekten, wo ich in Things ein Projekt erzeuge und in Obsidian die entsprechenden Notizen. Es gibt unzählige Möglichkeiten. Ich bin ein großer Fan von "Actions for Obsidian".
Und ganz nebenbei. Der Support vom Entwickler ist sehr aussergewöhnlich.

The Missing Link
... has been found.
Just ingenious in a bunch of ways, but especially the iOS macOS separate purchase.
Overall, I've barely touched the surface but see tons of use cases & usage coming.

Very Slick!
As a cross-platform electron-based app, Obsidian likely will never have shorcut support on its own. This makes creating powerful shortcuts super easy. This is turning into a key piece in my workflows.
Incontournable
Me permet un gain de temps considérable dans des petites tâches ultra répétitives. J’ai découvert l’application sur un conseil donné par une ia 😄.
En plus, le développeur est très abordable et à l’écoute, il travail toujours pour essayer d’améliorer l’application qui me donne déjà dans l’état actuel entière satisfaction 👍

The missing feature for Obsidian mobile!
Obsidian is a wonderful productivity tool, but the mobile app has major pain points in terms of always having to navigate between notes and vaults. Slow, cumbersome, and distracting compared to the desktop equivalent. Thankfully, this app lets you produce widgets and share sheet integrations in order to bring the efficiency of Obsidian into the mobile realm.
Now I can immediately go from my Home Screen to my daily notes or a specific note I’m frequently using. I use this while travelling to open a list of phrases and currency conversion notes. It’s also possible to make a widget that brings up a menu of several frequently used notes, which lets me get to any of my current projects quickly from a single widget.
You can so much more too, like selecting text in any app and appending it to different sections within a note. There’s tons of shortcut functions like this if you want to go deep.
You will need to learn about iOS shortcuts to make this work, but it’s fairly straightforward as the app walks you through setup and is well-documented. The developer is very responsive on support too. It was well worth a few minutes of setup to streamline everything on an app I’m using many times a day.

Great app
Unfortunately, the continuous pop-up ruined it for me. Maybe there is a better solution.
Edit: thanks for the response. But, I was referring to the pop-up asking for money that becomes increasingly more frequent.

Glad it exists
It works good, has a 14 day free period (after that it’s a one time purchase)
Hopefully there will come a day when obsidian itself gets shortcut support; but until then this is great.

Absolutely ESSENTIAL for Obsidian
If you like really digging into Obsidian, this app really unlocks even more of Obsidian's limitless potential -- I can't imagine ever not using Actions for Obsidian.
I like to pull data into Obsidian from all sorts of different places and apps. Paired with Apple Shortcuts, Actions for Obsidian makes it easy to do so.
This means I can use purpose built apps on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, or even cloud based tools, and grab text data, easily moving it into my vault.
THANK YOU for making this!
Nobody who is into Shortcuts and Obsidian should be without it.

This is GREAT... Except for...
... why does it open the splash screen on iOS everytime the Shortcut runs, putting me into the set up mode, after I've linked my vault, installed URI, and called back?
I see this option on MacOS but not on iOS.
This may be user errror (mine) but I'd love to get this working. It looks amazing and super useful.
Also, it continues to list vaults I've removed. Any way to clear those?
THANKS!!!

Response from developer
Short answer: You can change that behavior: Go to the app's Settings tab, and configure your preferred "End of Workflow" there. Long answer: It's not a splash screen you're seeing but the main app. Actions for Obsidian (AFO) becoming the focussed app like this on iOS is an unfortunate side effect of AFO translating between Obsidian and Shortcuts, and the way the Obsidian API is set up (no blame intended!). I can't do anything about it, and please believe me, I've tried *everything.* As for the vaults, please use the Feedback link in the app to send me a support request, and we'll figure it out!
