What are Captures?
The core capture primitive — like texting yourself, but smarter.
Captures are quick, unstructured thoughts, jotted down as they come to you. Think of it like texting yourself — except everything you capture becomes searchable, connectable, and actionable.
There's no formatting to fuss with, no folder to choose, no friction. You just write.
Why captures?
Most productivity tools force you to decide where something goes before you've even finished thinking it. Scribbles flips that. Capture first, organize later — or let AI organize for you.
A capture can be anything:
- A fleeting idea
- A to-do you don't want to forget
- A quote from something you're reading
- A link with a quick note
- A half-formed thought you'll revisit later
