Mobile Capture Workflows
Table of Contents
Mobile capture is one tap to save the spark before scrolling away - share sheet to inbox.
Key Concept
- Twelve taps kills the spark.
- On mobile, friction is the enemy - most ideas die between the notification and the app switch.
- I shrunk capture to share sheet → inbox, same lane as Capture: save first, sort never.
- Voice memo on the bench, one tap at the jeepney stop - the stake is the third quarter wiping what halftime almost saved.
Examples
- Halftime idea on the bench - I voice-memo'd it before the third quarter wiped it.
- Jeepney stop, blog idea hits - one tap to notes before the next ride shakes it out of my head.
