Thanks @anon45210282 for pointing that out! I might consider supporting curly quotes as well to make it less confusing.
Thanks for the feedback! Could you give me an example of what the templating could look like in the filename for your use case?
I’ve added support for a {{clipboard}} tag to the roadmap.
Yeah for sure!
Right now it’s limited to just text or {{date}}. I’d mostly like to combine them. Something like `[Quick Note]{{date(“dddd-MMM-DD”)}}.
Thank you for giving an example!
I haven’t documented it well, but this is actually possible at the moment:
Anything you wrap in single quotes ('), will be output directly as text.
Let me know if that fits your use case!

Would really love to see the some more features around note display as someone who cycles through notes faster than I go back and reread them
Single Note display widget - renders a scrollable markdown preview of a particular note
Multi note display widget - renders a set of notes that you can navigate between like a carousel
Queried note display widget - renders a random single note among those containing tags x,y,z. Switches the active note at some configurable interval
Those are some really neat suggestions. A widget to preview the contents of a note is a popular request and on my roadmap!
To the specifics, I’m not sure if it’s possible to scroll within a widget, but I’ll investigate.
love the app but i have a feature request (unless i couldn’t figure it out). in obsidian i have my daily notes categorized ie note from today (26.12.2024) would be in: DAILY NOTES / 24 / 12-Dec / 241226.md. now when i specified a location in the app which is the DAILY NOTES folder the note itself appears there and not in the localization it should by creating folders when necessary, like on PC. is there a way to make notes self categorize like this or not yet? thanks
Thanks for the kind words.
It seems like your workflow depends on dynamic folders based on the date. That isn’t possible in the app yet unfortunately! A workaround could be to store your entries a temporary DAILY NOTES / Inbox / folder. With templater, you could run a script that moves your temporary notes to the folders. If that sounds helpful, I’d be happy to help set it up, just shoot me a DM!
Opening the app kills any media that is playing in the background. Small bug, but annoying with headphones on
Hi fover
In case you haven’t figured this out yet, there is an easy way to do this!
I categorize my dailies similarily to you as seen below
The way I do this, both in Obsidian itself and in the Widgets for Obsidian app, is by putting slashes '/" into the name of the note!
In the Obsidian Daily Notes Core plugin, that looks like this: YYYY/MM MMMM/DD dddd
The Widgets app seems to use a slightly different version of date formatting, and I have it like this:

Hi Joschua,
Great app and widgets. I already love it all.
I have a question.
I configured the smallest home screen widget to create a new quick note and it works great.
When I save the note however, instead of returning me to the home screen the widget app opens and I have to manually close/swipe it to get back to the home screen.
I may have missed the setting somewhere, but is there a way to configure it so that when you save the quick note it will close and return me back to where I was on the Home screen?
By the way, the same is true when the widget is added to the Lock Screen. When I save, it opens the app instead of taking me back to the lock screen.
Thank you for raising that bug! That’s a weird one, I’ll look into it.
The date formatting is based on Apple’s standard, which in turn are based on Unicode 35: Dates by the way! That link has some helpful explanations for the tokens!
Hi!
You haven’t missed anything: The feature to close the app and return to the home screen is not implemented. Unfortunately, at the moment Apple doesn’t support a way for developers to close their app. They enforce this to ensure a consistent experience where apps are open until the users decides to close them. Their design goal makes sense, but it is a bit unfortunate that it blocks this helpful feature.
However, I’ve been considering adding a “Completion” screen after you added a Quick Note. You could open the added note in Obsidian, or capture another one. Would that improve your experience in this use case?
Another alternative is to create a Shortcut with the action “Write Quick Note with content…” from Widgets for Obsidian. You could place that Shortcut on the home screen. Instead of opening the app, it just opens a dialog for you to capture an entry.
Sorry again that this is not possible! When using the app myself, I wish it could close automatically after a quick note capture.
Hey Joschua,
No worries. I understand that this is a limitation by Apple.
About the completion screen, I don’t know. I guess I have to see it. Usually, my use case with the quick notes is tap the icon make the note, exit and continue with whatever else I was doing. If I know I need to do more notes or more work in Obsidian I would just open the app itself. But, I would say that such screen could be beneficial fore some workflows. Maybe you can implement it and also have a setting somewhere for the users to choose if they want it on or off. 
I just learned about the control center being customizable last week. On a whim and a desire to make it easier for myself to start journaling on the spot more often, I checked to see if Actions showed up there and it did! So exciting 
Hey Joshua,
I was recently tipped to get started with your app and I have now created multiple actions. The advantage of this app is that the icons are smaller and more compact than the widgets via the Shortcuts app. It has also taught me a lot about what you can do with (Advanced) URI.
At the moment I have about 12 actions and I don’t think the app likes that very much (on the iPhone). The icons are not displayed properly in the largest and second-largest widget. I would expect at least 4 rows in the largest and I would expect no half icons to appear in the others.
Am I doing something wrong or is the app not working optimally?
Ideally, I would like to be able to create two folders in my list of Actions, so that the input from those folders can be displayed in two different widgets of the size of the second-largest. Also because I can then possibly make a smart stack of widgets.
