Subject: Voice capture for your Obsidian workflow — looking for feedback

---

Hi Edmund,

I've been following your "Make Useful Notes" content and it's shaped how I think about knowledge capture. Your emphasis on progressive summarization and reducing friction in the note-taking process resonates deeply.

I'm building Obsidian Voice - a mobile app that lets you capture voice notes directly into your Obsidian vault. One tap to record, Whisper handles transcription, and the note lands in your vault as clean, structured markdown - readable and organized, but with your original words intact.

I thought of you specifically because your framework addresses the refinement side brilliantly, but there's still that gap between a fleeting thought and getting it into Obsidian in the first place. Voice solves this in a way typing can't: it's how we naturally think, and it doesn't break flow. The AI formatting means you skip the "messy transcript cleanup" step entirely and land closer to a usable note from the start.

A few things that might align with your workflow:

• Structured output, authentic content:Your words, but formatted into readable markdown with headers and structure
• No app-switching: Thoughts go straight to your vault, not some intermediary tool
• Offline recording: Capture anywhere, sync when you're ready
• Privacy-first: Your data stays on your device or your own cloud

I'm looking for experienced Obsidian users to test the app and give honest feedback. Given how much you've thought about this space, your perspective would be valuable.

Would you be open to trying it out? Happy to set you up with access.

Best,

Justin
