My Obsidian Setup — Mobile Capture
iOS Capture to Obsidian
In the previous article, I have shown my Periodic Notes, journaling, and habits tracker workflows.
This article will show how I capture notes and media from iOS devices.
Tana has launched a pretty cool app called Tana Capture, which allows you to write notes, scan text, and append media to notes. So I decided to port those actions and add more, to iOS devices using shortcuts.
Quick Note
This shortcut creates a new note in my inbox folder. It prompts for the text and for the title. If nothing is inserted for the title, it will save as untitled
. I’m also adding the frontmatter fields required for my workflows and the date the note was created. Note that the field status: unread
, will append a 🚩suffix to the note.
