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.
