A simple and efficient quick note-taking plugin for the Albert Launcher.

QuickNote allows you to seamlessly append notes to markdown files using "contexts". This makes it an incredibly powerful and fast companion to markdown-based knowledge bases like Obsidian. By setting your Obsidian vault folder as the notes directory, you can rapidly dump thoughts into specific daily notes or topics without ever opening the Obsidian app.

• Fast Note-Taking: Append bullet points to a markdown file instantly.
• Context Switching: Quickly switch the target markdown file (the "context") or create new ones on the fly.
• Obsidian Integration: Perfect for routing quick captures to your Obsidian vault.
