CAPTURE NATURALLY • Write or speak in plain language • Add several thoughts as separate blocks • Get structured results immediately, then adjust or discard • Tap Parse when ready; typing does not trigger automatic parsing IMAGES AND SCREENSHOT CAPTURE Add photos or screenshots to Ideas and use AI to turn their contents into actions. Capture to Kenotex, the iOS Shortcut, captures a screenshot as an image and starts parsing. Typing alone does not start parsing.
