Adding notes on the fly from mobile is slow or cumbersome (Notion and Obsidian mobile feels heavy); users lose ideas before they can capture them and want an ultra‑fast 'post‑it' or lock‑screen capture.
"Is there a way to make adding notes in Obsidian as easy as Apple Notes makes it? ... Ideally a quick way to add a quick note ... even put it into a folder called Quick Notes."
view evidence on redditUsers use widgets, action‑button shortcuts, lightweight apps, or build automated pipelines (wearable recorder → transcription → create note). Plugins like Lumberjack, QuickAdd, and external apps like Google Keep, Markor or dedicated pipelines are common.
"With Obsidian 1.11 you can add a widget on your lock screen to instantly create a note. If you want to go even faster you could even bind a shortcut to your action button."
view evidence on redditMobile-first note takers: commuters, students, people who want to capture ideas without opening a heavy app (iPhone/iPad/Android users).
"I'm very close to trying to develop that with Claude code. I want a simple app for daily notes on my screen."
view evidence on redditAn ultra‑light quick-capture interface (lock‑screen/widget/action‑button) that creates timestamped notes into an inbox or daily note immediately — or a one‑tap voice→note pipeline.
"I just want to have a sort of post-it note on my screen with all the different things I'm doing."
view evidence on redditPeople dump notes into Notion (or other tools) but the notes don't resurface when needed; capture-to-action flow is broken and bulky DB‑based note models make quick note capture and later recall difficult.
"I write everything down, but it rarely shows up at the right time."
view evidence on redditUsers split workflows: use Notion for projects/structured databases and other lighter apps (Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, Google Keep, Capacities) for ephemeral or quick notes; some automate resurfacing (random-note scripts or Notion AI agents).
"I use Apple Notes for quick capture; Notion is my personal project management foundation."
view evidence on redditNotion power users and everyday note-takers who want both quick capture and long-term retrieval (students, professionals building second brains).
"I've been all in on Notion for a good couple years now... But notes in databases just never fully clicked for me either."
view evidence on redditA system that captures quickly but also deliberately resurfaces useful notes (e.g., fading/decay, scheduled rediscovery, or automatic surfacing via AI) rather than becoming an unread archive.
"The Core Mechanic: a 'Fading Memory' algorithm ... When you have not looked at a thought in a while it begins to fade ... These thoughts come to the surface of the app in the active Fading Soon tab."
view evidence on redditTraditional keyword/tag search misses useful matches; users want apps that analyze content semantically and surface notes that 'match your work' (e.g., find poetic phrasing, similar ideas) across thousands of notes.
"But if the note taking app is smart enough to analyze my notes and say “hey this one matches your work in this field.” Then this whole pkms become useful."
view evidence on redditUsers try DEVONthink (Pro with AI), employ Smart Connections or similar plugins, or build local LLM/embedding pipelines to surface semantically similar notes.
"You could try conversational search with an LLM and Logseq with this: conversational-search-on-logseq-with-local-llms"
view evidence on redditUsers with large note collections (writers, researchers, creative users) who need recall beyond tag or keyword matching.
"I might write something short... but if that sentence has a great poetic rhythm ... an app smart enough to analyze my notes and say 'hey this one matches your work' would be useful."
view evidence on redditSemantic/meaning search that suggests relevant notes (local embeddings/LLMs or built-in AI) to surface latent connections without rigid tags.
"If the note taking app is smart enough to analyze my notes and say “hey this one matches your work in this field.” Then this whole pkms become useful."
