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.)

Great at Capture, Limited with Export + other options
Absolutely love the capture experience. For this to be my 5-star goto capture app, however, I would need options to export and/or merge multiple entries, and also more keyboard shortcuts for the macOS version (or at least menu commands I could hook into). As it is, I’ll need to switch to Drafts, Notes, or something else.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!
I love this app so much. I used to just text myself links to videos I liked because I don’t use the things like YouTube’s “watch later” but this app solves all my problems and the ability to quickly categorize it right from the share page is just so satisfying. I can not only store my favorite videos in the app but I can sort them too and have multiple folders. I bought the lifetime license because I hate subscriptions. Worth every penny.

Defective JUNK
Yes, the idea is great, and the setup looks nice. BUT, IT DOES NOT WORK. Most notably, yesterday I created one new note, where I saved a very long email draft, that I intended to reflect on today and edit before sending.
Next I edited an old note to add in a list of "priority tasks" on the given project. Yes, I saved both notes. Yes, I even left the Quick Notes capture app open in the background overnight, putting my phone to sleep, not turning it off.
This morning? GONE!!! Yes, the email-note "folder" still existed, BUT IT WAS COMPLETELY BLANK!!!!! And the "priorities list" also COMPLETELY VANISHED!!
That was approximately two hours of work that this DEFECTIVE, FRAUDULENT APP just wiped from existence! Not to mention the additional two hours--and five thousand tons of stress--that I will now need to deal with to rewrite the email draft and priority listing... Definitely moving on to another app THAT IS NOT SO ILLEGALLY DEFECTIVE.

sidebar can’t be sorted
Lots to love here. But if you use Capture a lot and organize your captures with lists, be aware that sorting the lists in the sidebar is nearly impossible. It doesn’t do it automatically, and the manual sort is very buggy and breaks constantly. What you’re left with is a very messy sidebar. Generally the app has a few rough edges, but the core functionality is awesome.

FINALLY A NOTES APP THAT GETS IT!
Dude, yes. This is what I’ve been searching for 2+ years for. A note taking app that just gets it. No less, no more. Prioritizes simple idea capture with minimal friction and distractions. Does not try to be your “all in one productivity life system”. Just does a simple function for a simple lifetime price. Simple but still designed well. Does not compromise on the UI by making an overall low quality app. But also does not throw in excessive over the top features that kill the entire purpose of the app in the first place. Kudos to you, developer!

amazing app perfect fit for iPhone
this app is great with so much going on every day and so much information and things being shown on our screens every day, it’s hard to keep track of or messy to keep taps of everything you want to save those shoes. I like that restaurant I wanna try out that place I wanna visit that website that can be helpful for that, etc.. It’s great because you can organize it all in this app and referred back to it later. It has been a game changer for me. I love it Keep up the great work.

Note App=yellow
Tried to color code this note app with color yellow & comic font 🍎 for 🍎Apple$r4me passcode Accounts
It does what it says it can do
Not sure it’s worth $20 though
My No.1 app
This is without a doubt my favourite app it makes things so easy to save and return to later. Best of all you can buy it once and avoid a subscription! A great alternative if you’ve used myMind
Super useful and continuously evolving
This is gradually becoming one of the most used apps on my iPhone and my Mac. It accepts input from a whole bunch of different sources, and the new voice transcription feature is incredibly cool. I finally have a place to send all the little snippets and notes and ideas so I can deal with them later.

Here’s your review!
LEAVE ME ALONE I DON’T WANT TO REVIEW YOUR APP STOP PESTERING ME. Not a bad app, but you will be constantly pestered for a review. Well here it freaking is.
Deleted or Didn’t Save my field notes for work
Opened the app quick from lockscreen widget. Typed out some important long notes I needed to have on hand, saved the notes, next time I got back in the app only the first line or title of the note remained, everything else: gone. Not risking anything more with this app.
Paste App replacement
I have been using the Paste app for over a decade and have tried several other iOS applications during that time, but I have consistently returned to the Paste iOS app. This application has now become my permanent replacement for Paste. While I was not specifically searching for a replacement, I was looking for something that offers improved functionality, flow, and organization, and this app achieves that in numerous ways. It is likely to replace several other applications on my phone that I use solely for data storage and organization.
