Getting started
The first thing you'll want to do is add a new choice. A choice can be one of four types.
- Template Choice - A powerful way to insert templates into your vault.
- Capture Choice - Quick capture anything, anywhere.
- Macro Choice - Macros to augment your workflow. Do more, faster.
- Multi Choice - Organize your choices in folders.
In your choices, you can use format syntax, which is similar to the Obsidian template syntax.
You could, for example, use {{DATE}} to get the current date.
