## What is Widgets for Obsidian?

Widgets for Obsidian is the definite companion for your favourite note-taking app.

Access your personal Vault right from your home screen.

The Quick Note Widget solves one of the biggest pain points of writing notes on mobile: Quick capture. Bypass waiting for files to sync, and immediately start writing. Custom destinations empower you to create your own workflows: Automatically create and add to daily notes, ensure unique notes with Zettel timestamps, append to an existing note… – the options are endless!

You can configure custom Actions to launch any Obsidian command with a single touch. The Actions Widget is based on Obsidian’s URI scheme, empowering you to run automations as simple or complex as you like.

Widgets for Obsidian is built by a solo developer, and allows unlimited captures for free. Once you’re ready to access power user features, like multiple destinations, you can subscribe to support app development.

### 3/5 — Audio input to notes?

*2026-01-06*

It’s a new world. Audio input is king. Can we have it? And upload w3 and w4  files as well.

### 5/5 — Learn how to use it

*2025-03-03*

Well thought out way to approach quick notes that will be accessible over time.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-12-04*

Doesn't seem to work if you're not using icloud. Always tries to select icloud. Useless.

**Developer response:** So sorry that the setup didn’t work. A lot of users actually are able to use the app without iCloud! I’d love to try help setting it up, or fixing whatever is broken.
Would you mind sending a quick email to hi@joschua.io and we can troubleshoot further?
Thank you for raising this issue!

### 4/5 — A grate option

*2024-11-30, version 1.4.1*

Very useful and also free ☺️ Can I suggest to make more custom the Quicknote section for the user? And maybe put more flags for errors in not finding the right Vault folder. Also if you need an help with the translation in Italian 🇮🇹 I would be very happy to help for free 😊

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-11-28*

This app is such a handy companion app for Obsidian, where we can easily capture notes, exactly according to configuration! And very accessible through widgets. Thank you so much for making these tools available!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Handy + Great Support

*2024-11-18*

This has solved my problem of needing to add tasks and notes on the fly. My questions were asked quickly and thoroughly. Well done!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for you review!

### 4/5 — It’s great, cannot wait for improvements

*2024-11-18, version 1.3.1*

Seems controversial, but I think the app has great potential, I won’t put 5 stars because I think it still has a great margin of improvement (and that’s a good thing)!

If I may leave some suggestions, I would create a widget that let’s you preview a chosen note (or multiple notes) in your vault, also I would like to see a preview of the created Quick Notes in the widget that let’s you create one (as it is right now there is a lot of wasted space). 

And maybe, if it’s possibile, it would be nice to see a widget for the global (and maybe local) graph.

Thanks for all you’ve done, keep up the good work!❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing App and Support

*2024-11-14*

This app is so incredibly useful! I had an issue with some formatting errors and reached out to the developer and got a response with an hour or so, it was incredibly helpful and he was genuinely willing to help! Super sick app! And I’m excited for future updates!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-09-21*

Unfortunately the app won't save destinations, so it doesn't work

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! In version 1.0.2 the app should save destinations correctly.

If that solved the issue, would you be willing to update your review? :)
