The loop
Capture, attach, save. Nothing else.
Add context
Choose Idea, Todo, or Quote, then attach the browser source when it matters.
Save to today
NoteDrop appends the note to the daily note Obsidian already uses.
The pain
Good thoughts disappear while you are switching apps.
Links lose context
You copy something useful, but later the note only has a URL and no reason why it mattered.
Daily notes get skipped
Opening Obsidian, finding today's note, and formatting a quick capture is just enough friction to avoid it.
Notes scatter everywhere
Ideas end up in browser tabs, messages, random text files, and forgotten clipboard history.
What it does
A tiny capture window for your daily note.
Finds your daily note
NoteDrop reads your Obsidian daily-note setup and appends to the right file automatically.
Attaches sources
Paste a link or capture from a browser page, and NoteDrop saves the source title and URL with the note.
Fast note types
Use Idea, Todo, or Quote chips so notes start cleanly without typing the same labels again.
Preview before save
See the exact heading, note, source, and target daily note before it writes anything.
Beta + demo
Try the full workflow for 14 days.
The beta uses the same demo model as ShotTray: try it first, then unlock the paid version with a serial number when it earns its place in your workflow.
NoteDrop Beta
Best for people who already use Obsidian daily notes and want faster capture while browsing, watching, reading, or working.

FAQ
Does NoteDrop require Obsidian?
The first MVP is built for Obsidian daily notes. Other note apps may come later if enough people ask.
Does it upload my notes or links?
No. Notes are written into your local Obsidian vault. The app is designed around local-first capture.
Can it save multiple notes per day?
Yes. Every capture appends to today's daily note so one day can hold many small notes.
