First Impressions
I haven’t used the app for very long but my first impressions are so far pretty solid.
Clean, uncluttered and pleasant to use.
I have an issue with being able to keep up with my thoughts as well as accessing my memories at the right time, there’s simply too much going on,
I’m torrentially flooded with responsibilities as well as fleeting creative ideas that I have learned the hard way are just too valuable not to ensure that I’m not wasting money, neglecting responsibility and taking for granted the gifts that are given
in
between thoughts
-in the liminal spaces,
those creative ideas that seem to flow in from who knows where
but,
they feel familiar, like truth when it slaps you upside your head, I often think it feels like an older wiser me, I’m not sure what that means or how that works, nevertheless I am grateful I learned to quiet the mind and listen in the liminal.
So far this App has begun the process of solving my problem and so far it’s doing wonderful at it.
I’m not sure if their are features that allow you to change the Text formatting or add tags or colors or badges etc during the process of entering your thought, if so that’s wonderful if not, maybe it could be an option if the Dev settles on the idea that there’s a way to implement this idea without negatively effecting the balance the Dev clearly has worked very hard to achieve and is no easy feat I’m sure and that brings this review to a close,
so I say to you the Developer(s); thank you for your efforts and your labor of love.
Post Script,
I’ll turn to finish the review properly in due course.

Needs tags
This app is excellent for capturing things as you go through your day. What it’s less good at is organizing the captures you’ve made. Items can only belong to one folder at a time, versus having a system of tags. It’s also not possible to even copy things from one folder to the other.
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.
