Obsidian iOS sync
under review
Jonny from Cleft AI
Hey there Andrew Douch thanks for reaching out! When you interact with the note (add a tag, regenerate, add to note) then it will sync across on macOS, but definitely hear you on the automatic sync across on iOS. How high a priority is this for you?

Jonny from Cleft AI I'd use Cleft a lot more frequently if it had it. For me, Obsidian has become the 'one source of truth' about my thoughts and things I've learned. When I'm working on something—solving a problem, creating a presentation, say—I turn to Obsidian to find all the thoughts I've had about that topic. So when I have important thoughts or ideas, I want to make sure they are in Obsidian. So any system that doesn't let me do that is a potential weak link in the chain, because I may record a great thought, but then later (in ADHD-likeliness) forget to export it to Obsidian, and then it won't be surfaced at some unplanned moment in the future. I've traditionally used Drafts for this very reason when on the go. I can open Drafts and start typing or dictating and then save it directly to Obsidian, confident that it will be there. Cleft is not quite so seamless/trustworthy because it relies on me getting back to my Mac, and regenerating the note—which is likely to be a flaw in my process.
For now, my workaround is not to do that, but to copy as markdown, create an Obsidian note, paste the Markdown in. That works - and that's what I've been doing when using Cleft to capture notes that are not well-structured in my mind. I love the way Cleft takes those stream-of-consciousness ramblings and makes them succinct. So I use it for that, but then have to go through the process of copying the markdown and pasting it into a new note. Obviously I don't do that if I'm driving! So when driving I use something else that I know will end up in my system and not be forgotten.
I hope these thoughts are helpuful. I might be an edge-case, but in an ideal world, I'd have an idea or thought, open Cleft, say what I was thinking, Close Cleft, and go about what I was doing, confident in the knowledge that what I had just said would find it's way into Obsidian, where I will see it, and link it to other related ideas when I'm at my computer, so that it is surfaced at some later date when I'm working on somethings and have long forgotten that I made the note.

+1 I love making my daily note using cleft and I do it on my phone - would love to be able to sync straight to Obsidian w/o my laptop in the middle
