## What is Funnel?

Funnel allows you to effortlessly capture your thoughts and moments to various apps and services. The inspiration to capture something quickly comes from ideas written by David Allen, in his book Getting Things Done.

Features:
=======
• Capture tasks to Reminders, Todoist, OmniFocus or Things with due dates in natural language.
• Capture notes and photos to a variety of popular note taking and personal knowledge management apps.
• Capture sketches and calendar events
• Beautiful Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets
• Shortcuts Support 
• A built in document scanner.
• Use Shazam to capture your songs directly to your apps.
• iCloud Sync for your Destinations
• A timeline showing your recent captures
• A selection of delightful app icons to pick from.
• A lock screen widget to easily access Funnel from your lock screen.
• Drag and drop images or text from other apps into Funnel.
• Once you capture something with Funnel, Funnel also provides you with a link to easily switch to the newly captured item.
• Long press the Funnel icon for quick home screen actions.
• Integration with the iOS Share Sheet (currently within the Funnel app only)
• Dynamic Island/Live Activities Support
• Control Center Widgets

Creating Destinations:
================

To link Funnel to your note-taking or task management apps, navigate to the 'Destination' Tab, select 'Add New Destination', and choose an app from the provided list. After adding a Destination, you can click on it for further customization. You can also define templates that get appended or prepended along with your capture. Your Destinations and the order of your Destinations are all synced to your private iCloud account.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-06-01, version 3.1*

This app is very functional and simple. It restructured my daily life to make everything more efficient. It's great for my quick lecture notes. Definitely would recommend.

### 5/5 — Great usability

*2026-04-27, version 3.1*

I use Funnel with Things3, Devonthink (DTTG) and Obsidian. Much faster than Drafts and a better UI. I have removed Drafts even though I have a paid version. Thanks for your work!

### 2/5 — Works…Sort Of

*2026-02-21, version 3.1*

This app sort of works with Obsidian. Adding to the daily note seems to work if I already have Obsidian open with the daily note open using Obsidian Sync. If I’m gonna do that, I might as well just type into the daily note while I have it open. Also, all of your notes are placed directly after the header, and not at the end of any other notes. My emails have gone unanswered. I’ll keep looking for a better solution.

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2025-03-06, version 2.1*

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this app certainly warrants one. Its ease of use, affordability, and precise documentation make it the best app of its kind. As a person living with ADHD, this app is life-changing. Thank you for creating this. 🥹

### 5/5 — Life changing for Obsidian users

*2025-03-01, version 2.1*

Crazy useful app. Developer has been responding to my questions and feedback within hours. Very excited for future updates.

### 5/5 — Elegant snd useful

*2025-01-16, version 2.1*

Replaces Drafts and a few other apps I have tried out for fast capture to DevonThink and Bear.

### 5/5 — You don't know you need it...

*2025-01-15, version 2.1*

I use this to quickly get tasks and thoughts into my to do and notes apps. It's super simple and always easily accessible. A great little app that I didn't realise I needed but now I use regularly.

### 5/5 — Great Capture app.

*2025-01-11, version 2.1*

Amazingly easy to capture almost anything into your app of choice. Not sure why you can’t capture images or photos into reminders since reminders has this functionality.

### 4/5 — Solid capture app with a unique feature

*2024-12-04, version 1.7*

There’s a few apps out there like this, but none have the brilliant Live Activities feature is a real stand out that I use everyday. Once you start a new capture and exit out of the app, you will see the option to enable live activities, which will essentially turn your capture into a kind of system-wide “sticky. ” I’ve found this incredibly useful for todos; I create my list, go about my day and check off the tasks in the app, and when I’m done I can send the capture to whatever available destination for record keeping. This is a great “hack” for attention—excellent if you had ADHD—and it’s worth using this app over others.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2024-09-09*

I cant make it work
