02·The moment

Most thoughts evaporate before you can save them.

Capture turns one tap into a permanent home for anything you read, watch, hear, or think.

One tap. From a phone in line at the pharmacy to a permanent row in the captures table.

Captured · One tap

03·The mechanism

A one-tap capture tool. From anywhere to a permanent home.

Three files. That is the whole system.

i. SQL

A nine-column captures table.

schema.sql · Supabase · RLS on

ii. JS

Thirty-six lines of vanilla JS.

bookmarklet.js · Chrome bookmarks bar · One click

iii. iOS

Three actions in the Shortcuts app.

share-to-capture · iOS share sheet · One tap

04·The receipt

Capture cost approaches zero.

One click on the desktop. One tap on the phone. An optional one-line note. That is the whole interaction.

Lines of vanilla JavaScript in the desktop bookmarklet. It captures the selected text and the page URL, asks for an optional note, and posts one row to Supabase.

05·The system

The first move in a longer chain.

Capture is the input layer. The rest is the writing system.

01 · Input

Capture

One tap, anywhere. This page.

02 · Record

Supabase

One table holds every capture, permanently.

03 · Review

A tagging pass

Captures get read, tagged, and connected.

04 · Output

The writing

The strongest captures seed finished pieces.

Before Capture, writing started at a blank page. Now it starts where the reading happens. On a phone, in line at the pharmacy.
