Capture Is Here - One App for Visual and Voice Notes

I built Capture because I was tired of using two apps to do one thing.

Every time I had a fleeting thought, I’d reach for my phone and pause. Is this a voice note or a photo? Do I open Voice Memos or Notes? By the time I decided, the thought was half-gone.

The problem isn’t the apps. Notes does OCR well. Voice Memos transcribes accurately. The problem is the split itself — my brain doesn’t categorize thoughts by input method, so why should my capture tool?

Capture does one thing: it grabs fleeting thoughts before they escape. A photo of a whiteboard. A voice note explaining the context. A random thought while you’re out walking the dog. A sign on your way somewhere telling you something important. All your random thoughts in one place, all searchable, all private.

What it does:

• Photograph documents, whiteboards, receipts, anything with text — OCR extracts it automatically
• Record voice notes — transcription happens on-device not in the cloud
• Export to email, Notes, Obsidian, Notion - wherever you choose

What it doesn’t do:

• Send your data anywhere. Processing happens on your device using iOS’s built-in ML
• Require a subscription. Use it for free. Unlock it for unlimited notes. It’s yours forever
• Try to be your second brain. Capture is the intake valve, not the storage system

I’ve been using Capture for months while building it. I captured core insights and designs for the app while walking my dog. I capture hand written notes from my Field Notes journal to store them in Obsidian. That’s what this app is for — the moments between your desk and your ideas.

The world moves fast - Capture your thoughts before they escape your grasp.

Capture is available now on the App Store.
