might not be exactly what everyone needs but i used global hotkey and quickadd to prompt for input and add it to a note that is in a folder and named with the date. each entry is preceded by date and time. pretty easy and only issue is that obsidian must be running. I suspect one could also use advanced API plugin to do this and start obsidian if it isn’t running
