How do I capture ideas before I forget them?

Use the capture box on the dashboard: the text of the idea is all it needs, or record a voice note of up to ten minutes. The idea is saved as a draft, and you return later to add a title, a score and a project. The separation is deliberate: capturing should take seconds, and sorting is separate work you do when you sit down to review.

Why capturing is separate from sorting

Ideas arrive while you are busy. If the moment demands a title, a category and a project, you will put it off, and then lose it.

So the capture box on the dashboard asks for the idea and nothing else. No title, no category, nothing.

Capturing by voice

Instead of typing, record a voice note. The limits are ten minutes per recording and 25 MB per file.

Voice suits an idea longer than you can quickly type, or one that arrives when you are nowhere near a keyboard.

Reviewing later

Open your ideas and everything you caught is waiting as drafts. Opening one lets you add:

A title, so it is recognisable in the list.
A score from 1 to 10 for how strong you think it is.
A project it belongs to.
A cover image, up to 2 MB.

The three states and why they matter

Draft: caught, not reviewed.
Validated: reviewed, and worth making.
Converted: it became a script.

The practical value is that your drafts become a review queue and your validated ideas become the list of what you will actually make. Without that split, ideas become one undifferentiated pile nobody reads.

How many can I save?

Unlimited, on every plan.
