Hello everyone. I wrote an Android app for quickly creating notes directly from the notification panel. This allows you to take notes without opening Obsidian and without getting distracted from other apps.
The app creates a persistent notification. When you tap on it, a pop-up window opens where you can enter text. After that, the file is saved in .md format at the path specified in the settings. You can also add a YAML property with the creation date.
Important: I used LLM to write this, I’m not a programmer, I tried to test it, but there may be some issues.
Hi, I like the idea ! Though I don’t like notifications, I would rather see a widget to easily capture quick notes !
This could be a great feature for the Obsidian mobile app !
Thanks for sharing your project !
This is fantastic. With the widgets I can capture things with one tap to get to the keyboard or mic, then review these later within my inbox folder in Obsidian. It is more efficient than any other method I have found so far. I encourage you to keep developing this and if there is a way to encourage you I’d be happy to e.g. pay something.
Save templates added: when creating a note, you can now choose a template to save it with. This allows, for example, saving new ideas as separate notes, while adding journal entries to a daily note.
Persistent notification is now silent and vibration-free by default.
Added an option to use the beginning of the note text as its title.
Added the ability to customize indentation when saving lines as list items.
Introduced recurring reminders for notes. Tapping such a notification opens the standard note input window. A separate default template can be set for these notes.
App now automatically restarts after device reboot.
Fixed an issue with saving via the “Share” function when the template includes text beyond just the date.
