| Put quick notes into Obsidian from anywhere | 2022-06-14 | 2022-06-14 |
I was browsing the Obsidian Reddit and noticed posts asking about workflows on how to get quick notes from different devices into Obsidian. To list a few:
- What do you use to quickly save notes to Obsidian on your Android device?
- Quick add note from Android
- iOS share sheet for links?
- Any additional app for fleeting ideas?
The problem with quick notes
It seems like Obsidian isn't a great tool for posts/writing-quick-notes-in-obsidian. In addition, people also seem to be divided on their solution to putting notes into Obsidian. Some people directly put things into Obsidian, some use automation workflows (e.g. Tasker, iOS shortcuts), and others use a third-party app and sync to Obsidian with a script / syncing service (e.g. Syncthing).
It looks like many workarounds are being thrown around, but no real solutions are presented. In my opinion, a real solution would fit all the criteria below:
- Build notes/connecting ideas is powerful within the quick note (like in Obsidian)
- Lightweight quick capture of notes
- Supports all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop)
- Automatic sync with Obsidian
- Easy to setup
So... I created Fleeting Notes
Fleeting Notes is a scratchpad for connected notes. It's a solution that fits all the criteria above. It runs on all platforms and supports a plugin that makes it easy to posts/sync-fleeting-notes-with-obsidian. So check it out! I think you'll like it. :)
