Capture Your First Idea

Ideas are the building blocks of progress. The goal is speed + clarity: capture fast, make it understandable later, and organize only when necessary.

Capture basics

Title = Clarity

Use the title as a clear statement. If you can't summarize it in 10 words, put the rest in the body.

Body = Context

The body is for details: links, steps, or the "why" behind the thought. Skip it if the title is enough.

Future-Readable Ideas

Capture so that "future-you" knows exactly what to do. Avoid cryptic notes that lose their meaning after 48 hours.

Avoid

  • "Refactor this"
  • "Fix bug"
  • "New feature idea"

Better

  • "Refactor IdeaDetailView: split SwiftUI ViewModel"
  • "Fix Stripe webhook: handle missing customer ID"
  • "New landing hero: test Instrument Serif font"

Security & Privacy

Your idea content is protected by industry-standard encryption. We manage the keys so you can focus on building, while your work remains strictly your own.
