Ratings and Reviews
Powerful addition to Obsidian
I hope Obsidian on iOS includes Shortcuts functionality eventually, but until then, this is a very powerful addition to your arsenal. You can create a note and a whole lot more beyond just that. Works with Periodic Notes. Great documentation and a great intro/explainer when opening the app. Now, with the tap of a button, I have access to a whole host of various actions that would take much longer if I was interacting with the iOS app directly.
Setup isn’t complicated at all and you don’t even have to think about how to create the Shortcuts because for every one you may want to create there is a help page explaining what to do. Five stars!

Thank you! 🖖🏼
Append notes!
I wanted a shortcut ala cgp grey, that let me enter text then decide where it goes. Enabling prepend or append to a given obsidian note is exactly what I needed! I’m sure this is a fundamental issue with interactions with iOS and Obsidian more than the app or app devs, but when the actions run, it flips back and forth rapidly between actions for obsidian and obsidian when it runs, and it lands on Obsidian each time it does this.
But, with what I need this for, quickly hitting down ideas before I forget them, the flippy back and forth doesn’t matter since by the time it does the flippy, my part in writing is completely done
Amazingly comprehensive utility
This opens up the full flexibility of Obsidian for your shortcuts. My first use for this was for appending short text to a log section of my daily note. I couldn’t have asked for an easier way to do it than the “Append text to daily note” action. Well thought out, well documented app from a truly responsive developer.
