A quick capture mechanism for the second brain I'm building with Obsidian and Claude.

At the very least I'm having fun along the way, and I'll wind up with something that scratches my exact itch!

On the off chance you want a really simple and fast way to capture thoughts/notes/links/quotes to on your Mac... I'll be asking for some beta testers soon. πŸ™Œ

Capture β€” Your second brain has a bottleneck. Fix it.

A lightweight macOS app that captures thoughts to Obsidian in under two seconds. No context switching, no folders to navigate β€” just hit βŒ₯C and write.

Craft's a great app though!

I look forward to getting your thoughts. The v1 MVP is primarily oriented around quick capture to the inbox (or another folder of choice), but I'm definitely thinking about appending in a future update. For now, I'm using tags on my quick entries and then running an AI action hourly in the background that appends certain tags to specific notes (i.e. gets appended to today's daily note, etc)

That would be brilliant.

I signed up for the Beta and am looking forward to an invite. Very cool indeed.

I've had the same issue. Glad you see it too...

I’ve used a series of Alfred workflows to trigger Obsidisn for daily note updates like this. But they were always finicky shell scripts.

There’s something beautiful about triggering a keyboard shortcut and being able to paste or type a sentence or three. And you know it’s going into your daily note. Safe and ready for later.

All without switching out of your current task.
