Quick capture for Obsidian
Quick capture, straight to your vault.
Shard is the fastest way to get a note or task into Obsidian from your phone. Open, type, send — it’s saved as Markdown in your vault, even offline.
On the App Store, soon.
Simple on the surface
Home capture and tasks — writing back to your own Markdown files.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
-
Open and write
Launch Shard and the cursor is already blinking. Type a note or a task, hit send, done. No menus, no friction, nothing between you and the thought.
-
Lives in your vault
Writes plain Markdown straight into your Obsidian vault — iCloud Drive, Obsidian Sync, or on-device. It even reads your Daily Notes and Periodic Notes settings so entries land in the right file.
-
Works offline
No signal, no problem. Captures are held safely and written automatically the moment your vault is reachable again.
-
Tasks, on your phone
Point Shard at one task file and run it from your pocket — complete, edit, add, and set due dates, all as plain Markdown checkboxes in your vault.
Up and running in a minute
- 01
Point it at your vault
Pick your Obsidian vault folder once. Shard keeps a secure reference and never copies your notes anywhere else.
- 02
Capture anything
Jot a note or a task. Notes append to today’s daily note; tasks go to your chosen task file — all as clean Markdown.
- 03
Open it in Obsidian
It’s just files in your vault. Everything you captured is already there, exactly where you expect it.
Private by default
Shard has no account and no servers. Everything you capture is written directly into your own Obsidian vault and never passes through us. This website uses only anonymous, cookieless analytics — no tracking, no profiles.
