### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-06-02*

App fills an important gap in my daily workflow and I’m excited to support it. Would love to see 2 features: 1) the ability to set an option in a destination to always send task to a todo list. Requiring that we hit the alarm button first prevents tasks from being created when the Apple Share Feature is used. 2) An easy way to set the Vault and specify a default sub folder for notes to save per destination. These would push the app to 5 stars for me. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-28*

Really a truly great app. Only four stars as it’s a bit difficult to get the settings just right, which is not terribly intuitive, and there is room for improvement there. For those saying that you have to open Obsidian after, I am not finding that to be true. So perhaps thats a setting issue somewhere. Been looking for something like this for a long time and is shockingly inexpensive.

### 4/5 — Great functionality. NEEDS IPAD APP

*2026-03-19, version 2.4.0*

Love the quick capture app, definitely speeds obsidian entries up. PLEASE ADD DEDICATED IPAD APP as that would broadly increase functionality to more devices. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Good, would love properties support

*2025-12-05*

I like that it can apply templates, would love if it also had support for specifying properties and their values

### 4/5 — Necessary for obsidian mobile

*2025-10-29*

Fills in the missing piece for obsidian mobile! Packed with tonnes of features and the open AI API integration is exactly what I was looking for. Just with there was an option for transcription ONLY. Currently you can record a voice note, auto transcribe it, then you have to delete the voice recording before inserting every time. Otherwise your vault will fill up with the audio files. I want an option that auto discards the recording and just inserts the transcription.

### 5/5 — Hands down, the best quick capture for Obsidian

*2025-09-04, version 2.0.3*

And I’ve tried them all!

### 4/5 — Iso18.6.2 doesn't works

*2025-08-29, version 1.9.9*

It will stuck at ’sending’

### 4/5 — Great app, please keep going

*2025-08-27, version 1.9.9*

Fantastic value. Genuine need being solved by me as an Obsidian fan and someone diagnosed with ADHD. This adds a lot of value to the terrible Obsidian native app.

Removed one star because it can be inconsistent between updates of Obsidian/iOS ecosystem and the get stuck in “Sending”. Not much debugging documentation, but developer is very responsive.

### 4/5 — Mac support

*2025-08-08, version 1.9.4*

Amazing app for Obsidian users! Could you release a Mac version too with keyboard shortcuts?

### 5/5 — Tolles Tool, macht, was man erwartet

*2025-08-01, version 1.9.4*

Einen Wunsch habe ich: es wäre super, wenn man beim Diktat im Template hinterlegen könnte, dass nur das Transkript gespeichert wird und nicht die Sounddatei. Bei normalen To-dos braucht man diese Datei nicht mehr, da die openAI Transkriptionen perfekt ist.

I have one request: it would be great if you could specify in the template that only the transcript should be saved and not the sound file. For normal to-dos, you no longer need this file because the openAI transcriptions are perfect.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2025-07-05*

If you love Obsidian but find the native app lacking when it comes to capturing thoughts and ideas…this is your app! So many great features, widgets, appends to notes, scan documents, open ai integration. Truly phenomenal!

**Developer response:** Thank you, stay tuned for more things to come very soon - AI features to rewrite note and transcription for voice recordings as well as geo tagged notes.

### 5/5 — Великолепно

*2025-06-11, version 1.8.2*

Приложение великолепное. 
Есть одно пожелание: добавить возможность добавления нескольких картинок за один приём в одну запись. 
И есть второе пожелание: убрать крестик или сделать возможность восстановления после его нажатия. Было такое, что нажимал его случайно. Очень неприятно мне было))

### 4/5 — Brilliant app - a few bugs that need ironing out

*2025-06-08, version 1.8.2*

Brilliant app and I find it very useful, has some bugs that need fixing.
1) sometimes the destinations are gone and need re-adding. I’m not 100% sure but think this happens whenever the app is updated.
2) send to Apple reminders doesn’t work
3) the option for what to do after sending the quick capture doesn’t have any affect, it always stays open for the next note.

For the UI it wasn’t intuitive to know I can swipe right on a destination to edit it.

Great app with lots of potential and worth paying for.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-06-01, version 1.7.8*

This a simple but brilliant app. I expected a quick way to save quick notes to obsidian, but this app is probably the quickest quick capture I’ve used full stop. Amazing job, thanks

### 3/5 — Really great note capturing on mobile

*2025-05-29*

Great app for heavy Obsidian users who also work on mobile. Capturing tasks directly to my notes works flawlessly and has been a solid productivity boost. However, the main feature that sold me, sending tasks to both my notes and Apple Reminders, has not worked reliably. Out of several attempts, it only worked once. If that gets fixed, this would easily be a 5-star tool. For now, pro user giving it 3 out of 5.

### 3/5 — Bug when trying to save a link

*2025-05-21*

There’s a bug when trying to save a link when using the Apple share button. It says it saved the link in the note but it doesn’t show up. However if you choose send from main app option it does work but requires more effort.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — If only

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.4*

I could get it to work, same as with Supasend

### 1/5 — PDF scan didn’t get sent to obsidian and todoist integration doesn’t work

*2025-06-18, version 1.8.5*

As title

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work With Obsidian Sync?

*2025-04-23, version 1.6.8*

I tried this app, but it wants me to select my vault from the Files app. I subscribe to Obsidian Sync, so I guess the app won't work for me?

### 1/5 — Log in for no reason

*2024-12-31, version 1.4.0*

First thing greeting you is a login screen. No other option. Deleted.

The developer response is arrogant and probably a lie, since there are many other app developers being able to offer paid services without the need for a login.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2025-05-12, version 1.7.2*

Frustrating.. why do I need to create an account to send to my local obsidian database? Isn’t the point of obsidian to reason an element of privacy?

### 2/5 — Why Require Sign In?

*2025-02-26, version 1.5.6*

Looks like a nice app but don’t get why it has to require sign in, and it’s not even anonymous sign in.

### 2/5 — Cannot even try

*2024-11-26*

The only option to pass the initial screen here is to Sign in with Apple which requires your apple ID to have adopted two-factor authentication. If there were other sign in options I would consider buying this.

**Developer response:** I think 2FA requirement is probably from Apple, we don't put any of those restrictions. Unfortunately at the moment we are not exploring any other sign in methods. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2024-10-20, version 1.0*

Meets a real need — Obsidian is not quick at the capture end of note-making. But Obsidian primarily collects and builds with text — so is it unreasonable to expect audio captures to arrive transcribed? Especially as the developer already has an effective transcription app...

### 3/5 — Could be Good, need some work

*2026-01-05*

Not a bad application, and really fills a gap in the obsidian ecosystem. I tried to use it for a daily journal, but the note creation seems to choke if you try to point it at a subdirectory with the file naming, something like yyyy/mm-mmmm/yyyy-mm-dd doesn’t get to the appropriate file.

### 3/5 — Needs some more bug fixes!

*2025-11-02*

Great app with lots of cool features. Doesn’t want to seem to link to Todoist correctly - might be user error. Main bug is with text entering - there’s a fairly lengthy delay between typing and text showing up. Please fix!!

### 5/5 — Great Companion

*2026-04-11*

Using on my phone and tablet now. Minor bugs but otherwise amazing work.

### 5/5 — Support monochromatic icon

*2026-02-14*

Please add monochromatic icon on widget, now widget unreadable

### 5/5 — The widget!

*2025-11-30*

I added the large widget to my Home Screen ( it has quick add buttons for notes, sketches, photos and voice notes. )

Using quick capture along with Obsidian’s Cupertino theme turns Obsidian into a sleek, user friendly note capture and retrieval app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-28, version 2.2.2*

Sooooo great! Simple, effective, well laid out - up and running in 2 minutes. Lifetime “subscription” is definitely what sold me - THANK YOU

### 5/5 — Рекомендую

*2025-11-28*

Прекрасное и полезное приложение. Спасибо большое автору. Регулярно пользуюсь.

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2025-10-06*

This is helping me move away from dayone. By using this and the widgets I can quickly take a photo and write a memory. Really helpful

### 5/5 — A truly versatile realisation of this concept

*2025-09-19, version 2.0.7*

Been loving this app since I downloaded it. Has completely changed the way I work with Obsidian on my phone.

### 5/5 — bug

*2025-09-12, version 2.0.7*

• Append to note: Add entries to an existing
file(.md) .
It is impossible to select files in the .md format.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-09-09, version 2.0.5*

This is app is awesome. It actually makes obsidian useable for me. The official mobile app is good, but a bit clunky for quickly capturing ideas. This app saves it.

On another note, I do have two feature requests. 

The first is a template feature, perhaps drawing from the official apps template library. Sometimes o want templates prompts to guide my quick capture input and this would be useful.

Second, an Apple Watch companion app with just voice-to-text capture would be immensely helpful for situations where the phone is not easily accessible.

Thank you for the app!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-09-06, version 2.0.3*

The app is very well done and well worth the in app purchase.
