Mind sharing your Obsidian workflow? As someone who installed Keyboard Maestro for the first time 3 hours ago it's not immediately apparent how to do this :D

You can create a keyboard shortcut on Obsidian that pulls your daily note page (I use cmd+D). You can then create a KM workflow that opens Obsidian and hits that hotkey for you.

Yup. I already had a shortcut bound in Obsidian to pull up the daily page, so the KM workflow is just

    * switch to Specific Application -> Obsidian
    * pause until... application "Obsidian" is at the front
    * type keystroke -> Cmd+Option+D   ; go to daily page
    * type keystroke -> Cmd+DownArrow  ; move cursor to the bottom
    * type keystroke -> Return         ; start new bullet in existing list
