I use it as a catchall. I used to struggle with the management of life’s snippets: a clam I’d like to look up, the fact that I’d like to have kebabs at some point this summer, the name of a photographer whose work I’d like to look into more, the idea for the next chapter of my book, all have a home in Capture. Having somewhere to put the snippets also makes it more possible for me to adopt a note-taking app, most aren’t really set up for the “next step” of a note, where Capture serves as a repository and lets you send the note to its next destination, whether that’s sending your chapter idea to your word processor or setting a calendar event to get those kebabs with a friend. It just needs the ability to export whole lists or specific captures in bulk to be perfect. I’m incredibly happy with and excited by this app.
Daily Essential App
GBS97
I’ve been using this app for a while now and I can honestly say it has exceeded my expectations. Everything about it feels well thought-out, from the smooth performance to the clean, easy-to-navigate design. It doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary features or clutter — instead, it focuses on what matters and does that exceptionally well. Because of that, it’s become something I rely on daily.What I appreciate most is how consistent it is. No random glitches, no frustrating slowdowns, just a solid experience every time I open it. It’s clear that the developers care about the user experience because the little details are done right, and that makes a big difference.The only thing I find myself wishing for is an Apple Watch app. Having the same functionality available on my wrist would take this from great to perfect. Hopefully that’s something that comes in a future update, because it would really round out the whole experience.All in all, this is easily one of the best apps I’ve downloaded in a long time. Highly recommended!
FINALLY A NOTES APP THAT GETS IT!
TeaMe79
Dude, yes. This is what I’ve been searching for 2+ years for. A note taking app that just gets it. No less, no more. Prioritizes simple idea capture with minimal friction and distractions. Does not try to be your “all in one productivity life system”. Just does a simple function for a simple lifetime price. Simple but still designed well. Does not compromise on the UI by making an overall low quality app. But also does not throw in excessive over the top features that kill the entire purpose of the app in the first place. Kudos to you, developer!
limited organization options
Ignatius_J_Reilly
Capture is good for (as the name says) capturing URLs, bits of text, etc. But if you’re looking to *keep* things in Capture, the options for organizing your captures are rudimentary. Captures are organized into lists instead of a more modern approach of using tags — so each capture can belong to one list at a time. Interacting with the app is still fairly rough. Dragging captures from the Inbox to a list sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. Option-dragging captures shows the cursor “+” icon indicating they’re being duplicated, but they are moved instead. Frankly, the design feels like it was done for iOS/iPad OS and the Mac is an afterthought. Ultimately I think Capture is designed as a waypoint, not an end destination, which is kind of a shame.
What's new:
• Safari extension: capture your current web tab with one click in Safari.
• Direct export: long-press Submit to send a capture to an export destination without saving it first.
• Display modes: choose list, compact, or grid layouts for your captures.
• Quick list selection: type # while writing to quickly choose a list. Enable in Preferences.
• Export destinations: send captures to Claude, Instapaper, and Messages.
• Things: choose when exported to-dos should appear.
• New Shortcuts: create, update, move, archive, and manage captures with new actions.
• On Apple Watch, start a capture with the Double Tap gesture.
• Capture now also detects phone numbers.
Bug fixes:
• Shortcuts no longer shows duplicate lists when choosing a capture list.
