New icon suggestion!

Hey, awesome app! I only have a minor gripe, as a graphic designer: I think the icon could use some personality and look a bit less generic! Also, it’s not optically centered, which bothers me a little :) Instead of just complaining though, I came up with something - see attached image. You can see on the left the bare icon, and on the right an example on how to center it, for instance in a squircle for balanced look. This proposition I think illustrates the concept of a quick draft a lot better: we keep the general idea of a square with something going into it (as in, putting content into the note), but we replace the arrow with a pencil, and evoke the idea of a draft with dashed lines. On top of that I added the idea of quickness with some speed lines I have also picked the purple shade directly from Obsidian’s website for the icon to be more recognizable to obsidian users and to look more harmonious when put side by side with the Obsidian app. If you like it I can provide the source files / SVG for you to implement - all for free of course, I’ll just be happy with my homescreen having a better looking icon haha. If you like the concept and would like some modifications I’ll be happy to do them as well. Hope you like it, have a nice day!

Quick / basic handwriting support (Excalidraw integration)

Since some of us love visual note taking, it would be awesome to have a quick way to scribble. Sometimes a diagram or a handwritten thought is just faster than typing. Adding a lightweight Excalidraw canvas would be the perfect solution. It would allow us to make quick sketches that save directly into our Obsidian vault, keeping everything compatible with the Excalidraw plugin. This would make the app a lot more versatile for visual thinkers!

Tag insertion

I use a route that appends to my daily journal note with a horizontal line after each entry. I like to add Obsidian tags at the top of each entry like #health or #ideas to classify captures so I can search and filter my journal later. I often use voice input to capture notes, but tags still need to be typed manually every single time. This breaks the flow completely. It is repetitive and error-prone on mobile, as a typo means the tag won't match in Obsidian. The existing H toolbar button is almost what I need, but it inserts a trailing space after # which creates a markdown heading instead of a tag. The simplest fix would be a toolbar button that inserts # without a trailing space. As a first nice to have, pressing it could show a searchable list of previously used tags so I can tap a tag instead of typing it, making repeated tagging fast and consistent. As a second nice to have, since tags are one of the core ways to organize and navigate notes in Obsidian, it would be great to have proper tag management: pinned tags always appearing at the top of the list, the rest sorted by frequency of use, and a settings screen to add, edit, pin and delete tags. This would make Quick Draft a first-class citizen in tag-heavy Obsidian workflows. As a note, my current workaround is to create a separate route for each tag, where the template wraps the content with the relevant tag at the top. This works but causes the number of routes to explode quickly, mixing the concept of routing to a destination with the concept of tagging content.

Remove Everything EXCEPT the URL

When sharing a link from certain apps, they can include additional text alongside the URL (“Look at what I found on…”, etc.). Would be great to essentially have the opposite functionality of the current “Remove URLs” option, so the only thing you’re actually keeping is the URL. Thanks! Great app!

Deep linking

Hi there I'm not sure if this is already offered, but I am working on a task app and just added deep linking support. It would be very handy for my use if Quick draft had deep linking for quickly jumping to the route I'm looking for.

Export & restore my configuration (backup)

Love the app! I’d really like a way to export & re-import my whole configuration: routes, destinations, templates & toolbar. The reason: when I do a clean macOS install I don’t want to rebuild all my routes & destinations by hand. An export file I can save & restore later (or move to another Mac) would be perfect. Thanks for the great work 🙏

Add Under Callout

Basically the same setting as “Add under section," but with callouts instead of "#” sections

I have two suggestions that might be worth considering; I think a lot of people would find them useful.

Enter some text and save it to a specific folder, but have a link to that note automatically appear in the Today's Journal. This way, a note is created, and a link to it is generated in the Today's Journal at the same time. Another issue: when I create a new note, Obsidian generates the note, but I can’t find it in search results. It also doesn’t automatically navigate to the newly created note. I have to search for it manually.

Multiline indentation support for {{content}} in Quick Draft templates

Hi, thank you for this great app! I’d like to request an enhancement to Quick Draft’s template system regarding multiline content handling. Currently, when using {{content}} in a template, multiline input is inserted as raw text. This means that if the template applies indentation or list markers (e.g. "- "), only the first line is formatted, and subsequent lines lose indentation. Example template: - {{HH:mm:ss}} {{content}} If {{content}} contains multiple lines, only the first line is indented. This makes it difficult to create readable structured logs (e.g. bullet lists with timestamps). Feature request: - An option to apply a prefix or indentation to *each line* of {{content}} - Alternatively, a variable like {{content:indent=2}} or {{content:list}} that reformats multiline input line-by-line - Or a setting to automatically re-indent multiline content to match the template context This would greatly improve Quick Draft → Thino / log-s

Add MD table support

To be able to quick draft save a new table in the same way you add and save lists.

Add a note/comment field when sharing via the share sheet

When I share something to Quick Draft from the share sheet (a link, image, text), I’d love an optional note/comment block to add my own context before it’s captured. So I can jot down why I’m saving it or a quick thought, & have that note land alongside the shared content in Obsidian. Right now I can’t annotate what I’m sharing at the moment I share it. Would make my captures way more useful. Thanks 🙏

Fastest Access to the draft shortcut

At the moment, there is no way to trigger the draft shortcut from a shortcut in the Android quick settings tiles (the tiles when you swipe down from top). However, applications can add more tile to this. This would simplify access to the shortcut Otherwise, it should be possible to transform the shortcut so that it is no longer a DEEP_LINK reserved for launchers. In this way, it would be possible to call it from somewhere other than the launcher, for example from a task in the app Tasker.

Auto Link Title plugin functionality

Hello, I use this app for saving bookmarks of websites. Would be great to built in the functionality of Obsidian plugin Auto Link Title, which fetches the webpage name and creates markdown links automatically. P.S. I love the app, keep it going!

Hey!! Two more features:

1-get current location (GPS coordinates) 2-attach more than one file (photos, documents, etc) Congrats on this lovely app!

"Hey, thanks a lot for your great work. An app like this has been missing for Obsidian for quite some time. I'm currently exploring the options and capabilities. It's particularly important to me that my data always remains local on my device. Therefore, I would find it extremely helpful if I could set up my self-hosted AI (such as Ollama or LocalAI) as an AI provider in this app. Is such an option planned?"

Speech to Text API

Hello! Eleven Labs’ STT is the best on the market, hands down. Could you add support for Eleven Labs STT API in Quick Draft, and give the user the possibility to bring their own API key? Long-pressing the microphone button could switch it between recording or transcribing (STT). So anyone with an API key could get premium STT for super cheap. This would be an awesome feature!!! (STT coming with gboard is really poor and makes so many mistakes). Thank you very much and kind regards!

Hi... please, add a feature that do not remove the EXIF info from photos attached! thanks a lot!!!

Option to change font size

First of all, thank you for this amazing app. As a power user, I really appreciate how this bridges the gap for my Obsidian workflows. To start off, it would be great if we could customize the font size in the editor. On tablets specifically, the fixed size can feel a bit off when using a keyboard or a pencil. Having a slider or a few presets in the settings would make it much more accessible and comfortable.

Save attachments to a different folder

Save attachments to a different folder other than where the note body is saved, i.e. to folder “110-Attachments” or some other configurable location.

Append to note instead of new template/only tag once

Since using a template inserts the template every single time, I was wondering if there could be a way for Quick Drafts to create a note from a template THEN append to the end of a note for the day if it exists (without re-adding the entire template block each time).

Keep original name of attachments

For now attached file is renamed to something like 100008895.webp. It would be more convenient to keep original “human” name, or at least to have an option to set it up. Thank you in advance!

Close on save

Loving this app. One option is like to see is to have the app close after saving a quick draft

Full-screen route grid

I use many routes for different capture categories like journal, health, shopping, ideas and so on. The current routes bar at the bottom works but does not scale well when you have 10 or more routes. The tiles are small and require precise tapping, and it is hard to scan quickly. When I open Quick Draft I already know exactly what I want to capture. The route selection is not friction for me, it is the first intentional step. My ideal workflow is simple: open the app, see the categories, select one, write. Large tiles with icons would make this instant, as I can recognize the category visually without even reading the label, reducing friction further. A full-screen grid of large tappable tiles would make picking a route much faster, especially with many routes. Each tile would show the route name and an emoji or icon for instant visual recognition. As a nice to have, tiles could be sorted by frequency of use, with the ability to pin the most important ones to fixed positions at the top of the grid. This feature could be optional, enabled in settings for users who want the category-first workflow, and disabled for users who prefer to jump straight to writing and categorize later via the existing bottom bar. The current bottom bar without icons adds more friction than a full-screen grid would, because the route still needs to be chosen regardless, just with smaller and harder to scan targets.

Left-hand mode & Add taking photos in Shortcuts

Thank you all. Quick Draft is just amazing. I like it so much that I hope it gets even better. I am left-handed and usually use my phone with my left hand, so I hope features like attaching files, photos, taking pictures, and scanning can be on the left side of the screen. My usual habit is: tap → open the camera directly to take a photo → then edit the text. If I want to take a photo first and then edit, I can use the desktop widget. But the widget icon is too big, taking up the space of four app icons. And in the shortcut commands, there are only options to open the app, enter text, or record audio, with no option to take a photo.

Can't add destinations

Hi, experiencing a weird bug where trying to pick a destination doesn't show me my files but just one file called localization.strings. iOS 26.5, iPhone 13 mini, Quick Draft 1.5.6. Please see linked video demonstrating issue. https://files.catbox.moe/9g4rq6.mp4 Any other reports of this? not sure what to do

Error on Post-Processing (Refine option)

First of all, congratulations on the nice app! Truncated File Extension during Image Post-Processing in Quick Draft for iOS Environment and Context Application: Quick Draft for iOS. Integration Target: Obsidian Vault synchronized via iCloud Drive. Observed Error: "Resource not created" (or "O recurso não foi criado") within the Obsidian interface. Issue Summary A critical failure in the file-writing routine of the Quick Draft application occurs when utilizing the "Crop" tool within the "Refine" menu. While standard image captures are correctly persisted with a .jpg extension, images subjected to a "Crop" operation are saved to the file system as raw UUIDs without a file extension. This metadata truncation prevents Obsidian from identifying the resource as a valid media attachment. Steps to Reproduce Initiate an image capture using the Camera or Scanner tool within the Quick Draft interface. Select the Refine option on the capture preview. Execute a Crop operation to adjust the image dimensions. Commit the draft to the Obsidian destination (e.g., obsidian-ios-v2). Observe the resulting link in Obsidian, which appears as ![[UUID]] without an extension. Observed Behavior and Root Cause Analysis Extension Truncation: The application's History log confirms that standard saves yield filenames such as B626...8B7A.jpg, whereas saves following a "Crop" action yield truncated filenames like 8FA2...8FA5. Obsidian Resource Resolution: In the absence of a file extension, Obsidian treats the transcluded link as a reference to a non-existent Markdown file rather than an image. Manual Validation: Manually appending a .jpg extension to the affected file within the iOS "Files" app restores correct rendering in Obsidian, confirming that the "Crop" module fails to re-append the MIME-type extension during the final write operation. Expected vs. Actual Results Expected: The application should preserve the .jpg or .png extension during the re-serialization of the image object after an edit. Actual: The "Crop" operation triggers a loss of file extension metadata, resulting in broken resource links in the target Obsidian Vault.
