My brain
This is one of the few apps I bought as a lifetime purchase. I have mine bound to my action button, so one press and I can capture the note. It's the lowest friction note taking app I've ever used. Everything goes into an inbox where you can archive and sort. Using it is as easy as the action button or launch, then hitting paste and enter. You can do more, but it's responsive to the bare minimum. For my particular cognition, it's been a life saver.

Fantastic app
Every single devices should come preloaded with this app.
Imagine quick note with a smart share sheet and auto archive feature.
I just which the app supported scrivener, and Freeform.
I am not sure how Freeform integration would work exactly but I wish I could send certain files to a particular Freeform instance with one click.

limited organization options
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.

My New Favorite Reference App!!!!
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.

Some (obvious?) features to add, but a still useful tool
I use your app to log actions I take throughout the day, but I end up with a lot of entries to export at the end of the day. It would be a great addition to be have some batch operations. The two that come to mind are multiple export (select multiple; export as a single item or series of items) and/or merge within Capture (select multiple items and create one Capture item.)
