생각이 떠오르는 순간, 앱을 켜고 바로 적습니다. Capture는 GTD(Getting Things Done) 방법론의 '수집' 단계에만 집중한 메모 앱입니다. 복잡한 폴더, 태그, 프로젝트 관리 없이 — 머릿속에 떠오른 아이디어와 할 일을 1초 안에 받아적는 것, 그것 하나만 합니다. • 앱을 켜면 키보드가 즉시 활성화됩니다 • 입력 후 저장 버튼 또는 위로 스와이프하면 즉시 저장 • 저장된 메모는 Inbox에 시간순으로 수집 • 하드웨어 키보드 지원 (Cmd+Return으로 저장) • 다크 모드 완벽 지원 • 인터넷 연결 불필요 — 모든 데이터는 기기에만 저장
