Main Roadmap

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.

Fastest Access to the draft shortcut

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 <code>#health</code> or <code>#ideas</code> 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 <code>H</code> toolbar button is almost what I need, but it inserts a trailing space after <code>#</code> which creates a markdown heading instead of a tag. The simplest fix would be a toolbar button that inserts <code>#</code> 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.

Tag insertion

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).<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6957d126468a7187e236e142/post/6987da1b978649ece1ef294b/019c3aab-4ce5-7941-bb1b-ef5d9439fbf7/b64u-MTAwMDAyNDA2MC5qcGc.jpeg" data-featurebase-content-filename="1000024060.jpg" src="https://6957d126468a7187e236e142.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6987da1b978649ece1ef294b/019c3aab-4ce5-7941-bb1b-ef5d9439fbf7/b64u-MTAwMDAyNDA2MC5qcGc.jpeg?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260304T080000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260304%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=221722f7e898089d4ef2735a1186896344ac0d17d6d86fca0f9b1f5d9e9bbe9a">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 contextThis would greatly improve Quick Draft → Thino / log-style workflows, especially on Android where OS-level text preprocessing (like iOS Shortcuts) is not available.Thanks for considering this!

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

"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?"

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!

Right now, opening Quick Draft on iPad often triggers a full app-switch. This can be annoying in Safari because if I stay in the note too long, the background page sometimes refreshes due to inactivity.It would be awesome if the app could open as an always-on-top sheet/overlay (similar to Apple’s Quick Notes). This way, the "host" app stays active in the background, which is way more efficient for taking notes while browsing or watching a course.

Overlay / Sheet Mode

I know there is already an option to "Open Obsidian" automatically per route, which is great! However, I don't always want to jump into Obsidian immediately, sometimes I just want to draft and stay in the app.But there are moments where I do need to switch over after finishing a note. Could you add a manual button (or make the route path clickable) that triggers the Obsidian URI on demand?This would give us the best of both worlds: keeping the auto-open setting off for quick captures, but having a one-tap way to jump into Obsidian when we want.

Manual "Open in Obsidian" button for active routes

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.

Option to change font size

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.

Full-screen route grid

Basically the title. I haven’t really been able to pinpoint when it happens, seems random, so I assume it’s a race condition issue between file creation and file opening.

Hey! First off, I love the app, thanks for the great work!I’m on Android and love to use the app for quickly saving recordings into Obsidian. But I noticed an issue when trying to add a recording (or any file) to a route without any text (both through the app itself or through the recording widget) where the template I selected does not get applied.So for example here the template does not get applied:<img data-width="50%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6957d126468a7187e236e142/post/6987693536f5d8cad1fa737a/019c38ee-db21-713f-af5f-82da2bc98d97/b64u-U2NyZWVuc2hvdF8yMDI2MDIwNy0xNzIzMDcucG5n.png" src="https://6957d126468a7187e236e142.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6987693536f5d8cad1fa737a/019c38ee-db21-713f-af5f-82da2bc98d97/b64u-U2NyZWVuc2hvdF8yMDI2MDIwNy0xNzIzMDcucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260304T080000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260304%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=c953e5d7d8ec2305257ac390096477839221bb829f49775675c44380b9650c4d" data-featurebase-content-filename="Screenshot_20260207-172307.png">And here it does:<img data-width="50%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6957d126468a7187e236e142/post/6987693536f5d8cad1fa737a/019c38f0-ac61-734c-9e22-75684eaf628c/b64u-U2NyZWVuc2hvdF8yMDI2MDIwNy0xNzI0MjEucG5n.png" src="https://6957d126468a7187e236e142.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6987693536f5d8cad1fa737a/019c38f0-ac61-734c-9e22-75684eaf628c/b64u-U2NyZWVuc2hvdF8yMDI2MDIwNy0xNzI0MjEucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260304T080000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260304%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=121873e098dc714d0a9130bb1c15d69b91e79994ae33c33c485dd1f30d52a5de" data-featurebase-content-filename="Screenshot_20260207-172421.png">Hope this is an easy fix!
