Capture on the Go
The mobile workflow is simpler than the desktop one. You’re not processing or organising from your phone. You’re capturing.
Quick text captures: Tap the new note button. Type. Done. It lands in your inbox and is waiting for you at your desk.
Voice memos: Record a voice memo in your phone’s native app, then transcribe it (most phones do this automatically now) and paste the text into a new inbox note. Takes thirty seconds.
Screenshots and photos: Obsidian Mobile handles image attachments. Screenshot something interesting, open Obsidian, create a new note, paste the image. Add a line of context about why you grabbed it.
Web articles: If you’re on iOS, the Obsidian share sheet extension lets you send articles directly to your inbox with title and URL captured automatically.
The pattern is the same as everything else in this system: capture now, process at the desk. Your phone is the capture layer. Your desktop is where thinking happens.
Before moving on:
- Obsidian Mobile installed on your phone
- Sync configured and working
- First mobile capture made and confirmed in your inbox on desktop
This module evolves as your system does.
