Would be great to have a widget to jot down quicknotes
Also widget to a bookmark. That would cover a lot of use cases
+1 from me. Would LOVE to open a note on my screen (daily note for example)
I also got here hoping this was already solved. I tried the workarounds that involve installing yet another app, but once it started asking for permissions to completely take over my phone I realized thatās ridiculous.
I donāt write much on my phone, but when I need to I need it fast.
Two widgets are needed:
- one tap to start writing a new note (or add at the bottom of an existing note).
- display the contents of a note (e.g., grocery list)
Iād also love to be able to highlight text on my phone and have the option āsend to obsidian noteā, but that might be more complicated.

please bring this to android 
This would be so helpful, Iām surprised thereās no widgets at all.
+1 I canāt think of a feature they could add right now that would improve the way I use Obsidian more than one or a few good widgets for android.
+1 got a daily task list (tasks plugin) that would be perfect as a widget.
+1 this would be a killer feature for mobile
I just tried out the Notion Android widget and itās awesome. I really wish Obsidian could get something like it. Here is a screen recording of it in action:

+1 would appreciate a widget that shows a certain note a lot.
I really like the second idea but for vaults.
I separate my vaults for my writing, personal life and work flow. I separate them so that I donāt get confused and my notes donāt get cluttered.
It is easy to create shortcuts for desktop to open specific vaults but I find it difficult for mobile.
I want to have at least 3 obsidian icons on my home page to open different vaults so that I donāt have to switch between them all the time.

+1 from me. I would love widgets like what Google Keep has.
Agreed that Keep has great widgets, such as ā¦
This is a scrollable list of notes with a particular tag (#music, in this case).
I can click on one and it will open that note in Keep.

Capture = relief
Quick capture widget with āadd new noteā like from Evernote, is the 1-st priority for me in obsidian features.
Capturing on the go - is SO important, and the major resistance and fiction factor for me, and my clients who use my knowledge+tasks second brain system.
For now many of my clients are forced to stay on Evernote, because mobile delay doesnāt allow for quick capture. Some of them stay on ticktick, or todo-ist, or notionā¦
In any case - i see how obsidian can offer more flexibility with community plug-ins, so iām really hoping for widgets to be added.

- widget for showing the content of the note
- widget for quick add a thought
above already mentioned good samples:
- google keep view widget
- notion add qucik note widget
- evernote task widget
for me looks like 1 and 3 can be resolved with widget that shows one file from the vault. Probably smth like that Markdown Widget | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository but with better implementation)) That one does not look work well, I have tried - very small, and actions just not work.

I also think widgets would be great. Being able to more quickly add thoughts to my daily notes / thought input folder would be a real improvement!

The widget is kind of all I need to ditch Google Keep.
