Capture & Process helps you capture your ideas. And also helps you process them. It is designed to work as a dedicated Inbox app, alongside your existing productivity systems(such as GTD, PKM, PARA, and BASB...). ------ FEATURES * Inbox Clearing Screen: process your ideas without distraction * iCloud Supports: capture & view your ideas across your iOS device * Share Supports: share your text to another app & receive texts you shared from another app * Link button: generates clickable buttons for links in your text * Background color serves as a non-invasive, subtle indicator for if you are supposed to clear your Inbox right now * A trash can for retrieving what you accidentally deleted MADE BY A GTD ENTHUSIAST I implement GTD in my work and life for over 10 years. I believe having a dedicated Inbox could solve a lot of issues people are having when running a GTD system. STILL IN THE EARLY STAGE This app is still under heavy development. There are a lot of functions still on the way. And I need your feedback to set my priorities straight. Feel free to contact me if you got anything you want to share with me.
