Notey
Minimal note capture for structured, linked Obsidian vaults
What Notey does
Built for the way you think
Capture a thought, route it to the right place, and let AI shape it into a structured Obsidian note — without interrupting your flow.
Open from the system tray or a global hotkey. Notey is out of the way until you need it — then it's there instantly.
Use /topic, /meeting, /task, and dynamic folder commands to route notes to exactly the right place without touching the file system.
OCR and AI process your drafts into well-structured Obsidian markdown — canonical people references, tags, and headings included.
Every note lands in your existing vault with proper [[wikilinks]], inline tags, and same-day headings for topic pages.
Capture screenshots directly into the editor. Images are stored in your vault; OCR extracts text automatically for AI processing.
Paste tables from Word, Excel, or Google Docs and get clean GitHub-flavored markdown pipe tables automatically.
Tasks from any note are routed to Notes/tasks.md with proper markdown checkbox formatting, ready for Obsidian task views.
A focused, minimal markdown editor with syntax highlighting, table navigation, and a fixed-width font for aligned writing.
In action
A minimal tool with a lot going on
Route every note with a slash
Type /customer, /topic, /meeting, or any dynamic folder name and Notey autocompletes from your vault. Your note lands in exactly the right place — no file browsing required.
Capture meetings as structured notes
Add /meeting and Notey routes the note as a meeting record — with date, attendees as vault wikilinks, action items, and decisions all structured by AI before saving to your vault.
AI that proposes, you decide
Ask the Notey assistant to extend a table, rephrase a section, or assign tasks to people. It shows a structured diff of every proposed change — you review and apply with one click, or discard entirely.
Tasks in one place, across every note
A live task panel aggregates every - [ ] task from your vault, grouped by due date. Tasks written in any note automatically appear here — no separate task app needed.
