## What it is
QuickAdd is an Obsidian community plugin that turns repetitive note-taking actions into single hotkey-triggered commands. It combines four composable choice types—templates, captures, macros, and multis—plus a JavaScript API and built-in AI integration for building custom vault workflows.

## Use cases
- capture quick notes to my daily journal with a hotkey
- create new notes from templates with dynamic filenames
- automate multi-step workflows in Obsidian with macros
- add tasks to a Kanban board without opening it
- fetch book or movie metadata into notes automatically
- run AI prompts like summarize or rewrite inside Obsidian
- organize my Obsidian commands into nested menus

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian and want one-key automation for repetitive note-taking
- you need to chain templates, captures, and scripts into workflows
- you want to integrate external APIs (Todoist, TMDB, Google Books) into your vault
- you want AI-assisted note actions without leaving Obsidian

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian as your note-taking app
- you only need simple templating already covered by Obsidian's core Templates or Templater
- you need automation outside of a markdown vault context

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
