Capture and organize Inbox items
Save a thought first and decide later whether it should become work, a link, a note, or a project.
Where to find it
Sidebar → Inbox
How to use it
- Enter a thought and select Capture. Recognized tasks or links open a review instead of saving immediately.
- Choose Save to Inbox from the review to keep it as an unprocessed capture.
- Open a capture and use its actions to create a task, project, countdown, or rich link; add it to project notes; or keep it as a note.
- Use Edit capture to change its text or extra context.
- Use Open, Filed, Archived, and All to find records. Search narrows the selected filter.
Limits and important details
- Only open captures count as Needs a decision. A note saved to Inbox is not automatically a Top 3 task.
- Directly creating a task from Smart Capture does not first create an Inbox record.
