Idea Capture vs SelfNote

Do you struggle with forgetting your brilliant entrepreneurial thoughts and ideas? There's nothing better than having those Ah-Ha! moments while on a run or working out. But there's nothing worse than forgetting your ideas. Don't worry, we've solved the problem. Use the Idea Capture tool to send your "on the go" ideas and thoughts directly to your email. Why send to your email? As an entrepreneur, your inbox is something that you constantly visit. Therefore, your ideas and thoughts can always be viewed in a platform you naturally already visit.

With SelfNote, you can quickly write notes, reminders or bookmark links from your browser and send them to your own email. The concept is to send notes to self and receive them in the email inbox to be read or managed at a later time. With just a few taps and its quick share to self functions, you can create a new note and send it directly to your email inbox. This makes it easy to capture ideas and thoughts as they occur to you, without having to worry about forgetting them later on. SelfNote allows you to not only write text notes but also to add quick audio recordings, dictate to notes, drawings, and photos as notes.
