PRIVATE BY DESIGN Quick Draft never needs full access to your vault. You choose the exact files and folders (Destinations) it can write to. No account needed. A short in-app tutorial walks you through setup. Notes are saved as plain Markdown files in the folders you pick, so they show up in Obsidian like any other note. Quick Draft is free to use. Optional Pro plans (monthly, yearly or lifetime) unlock AI features and cover their server costs. Quick Draft is developed independently.

Vox.md is a local-first quick capture app for Obsidian vaults and Markdown folders. Send text, links, photos, files, document scans, sketches, and voice to the right note without stopping to organize first. CAPTURE MORE THAN VOICE Add typed Markdown, a URL, photos or screenshots, files, a document scanner with on-device OCR, a sketch, or a voice recording. Combine several items in one capture, preview the result, then save it as plain Markdown. SEND IT WHERE IT BELONGS Capture Presets remember the destination and formatting for workflows such as your inbox, journal, task list, or meeting notes. Create a note, append or prepend to an existing file, insert beneath a heading, or write to rolling daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly notes. Each preset can keep its own template, metadata, attachment folder, filename rules, placement, and processing preferences. Override a destination or template for one capture without changing the preset. CAPTURE FROM MORE PLACES Use Vox.md from the app, Share Sheet, custom keyboard, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Shortcuts, or Apple Watch. Pending and failed deliveries remain available for retry, so a temporary folder permission or sync issue does not lose your work. PRIVATE VOICE TRANSCRIPTION Transcribe speech into text on your device with Apple Speech, Whisper, or Parakeet, depending on your settings and device. Audio and transcripts are never sent to Vox.md servers. Use offline dictation and voice typing from the custom keyboard, record on Apple Watch, or export transcripts as TXT, Markdown, JSON, or YAML. PLAIN FILES, NO LOCK-IN Vox.md writes standard Markdown to the folders and Obsidian vaults you choose. You do not need an account or a proprietary notes database. Your files remain readable in any Markdown app. New Capture and transcription require paid access. Choose Individual or Family: weekly, yearly, or lifetime. Eligible subscriptions include a seven-day free trial, then renew automatically at the displayed price until canceled in Apple Account settings. Existing purchases remain valid. Viewing and exporting existing history require no new purchase. PRIVACY Capture contents are processed on your device and saved or sent only to destinations you explicitly configure. This version removes custom app usage analytics and advertising attribution. Optional HTTP delivery sends the capture payload to your chosen endpoint; model downloads, quotes, and other connected features are described in the Privacy Policy. Permissions are requested for the capture features you choose. Earlier versions and retained service records are covered separately.
