[Fleeting Notes](https://fleetingnotes.app/) is Google Keep but tailored with the Obsidian and Zettelkasten experience in mind. You can start trying it [here](https://my.fleetingnotes.app/) I used to be a co-founder of the app, but I left and now it is under maintneance mode by [[Matthew Wong]] ### Setup Process To retrieve your notes from Fleeting Notes, follow the [guide here](https://fleetingnotes.app/posts/sync-fleeting-notes-with-obsidian/) to set up your Fleeting Notes account ## Workflows ### Capturing #### Quick Capturing Ideas - When I'm on a walk, I can easily take out my phone, open the app, and turn on my keyboard's voice to text feature to start word vomitting whatever's on my mind #### Web Clipper - You can enable a setting in the app to automatically save the URL of notes when using it on the web - When highlighting something, just right click, and then choose the Fleeting Notes option - It also saves things like video timestamps #### Standalone App You can open a pop-out window by right clicking on your browser, or pin the chrome/firefox extension on your toolbar ### Processing #### Syncing - After setting up your credentials in the community plugin, you can run the command `Sync Notes with Fleeting Notes` to import all your notes - Alternatively, you can also modify your syncing style to also delete notes once they are synced (this is what I currently do) - You can customize the way they are imported to your liking using the customizable import template - Keep it as a mere fleeting note that is temporary, or implement the related note type (ex. input note) ##### Templates `${datetime}` is a long timestamp including seconds `${Created_date}` and `${last_modified_date}` is formatted in `YYYY-MM-DD` ###### Normal Note To show up in [[My Greenhouse]] ``` --- Status: "🌱" id: "${id}" Source: "${source}" tags: - note Links: --- ${content} ``` I personally use this one so I am allowed to quickly capture any ideas when I'm on my phone. ###### Input Note I used to use this template when I needed an input capturing solution for audio based inputs, but now I use [[#Normal Note]] ``` --- id: "${id}" Status: "🟨" tags: input/videos Links: Source: "${source}" Author: "" Collection: "" Finished: "" Rating: "" --- ## Notes ## Highlights ${content} ``` This would automatically bring it to "Ready to process" in [[My Inputs]]. I would recommend not having auto-sync if you have this though or else you will end up with fragments of an input note. #### Finding Notes With the current default template in the settings, you can find all of them as seedling notes in [[My Greenhouse]]. The reason why they are added into this folder is because if you have duplicate note titles, the app will end up just not even importing the note. #### Inserting Notes - You can run commands like `Insert Unprocessed Notes` or `Insert All Notes that Contain Specific Text`
