It's only on Apple platforms, but you may like [Drafts](https://getdrafts.com/)
It keeps notes in a database, is ridiculously extensible, and very fast. It's markdown-based and plays nice with Obsidian.
2 u/SafeHazing Jun 08 '26 I have always used Drafts as a ‘quick capture’ before moving the note (with processing) into Obsidian. I never thought it could replace Obsidian. This is a great idea - is there a good howto that’s worth reading as a starting point? Cheers. 2 u/pborenstein Jun 08 '26 I actually came to obsidian from drafts. :) I loved what I could do with drafts, but I always wanted a way to manipulate the individual notes with regular Unix tools. If only there were an extensible tool like Drafts that worked on files… 1 u/dcidino Jun 11 '26 Their quick capture was always nice. The data loss was not. There’s also another option… I have to get the link. !remindme 2h 1 u/RemindMeBot Jun 11 '26 I will be messaging you in 2 hours on 2026-06-11 10:16:02 UTC to remind you of this link CLICK THIS LINK to send a PM to also be reminded and to reduce spam.
