Capture & Review / Workflow Guide

Catch the Thought First, Organize Later

Friction is the enemy of note-taking. Make capture light enough, and ideas stop slipping away on the way to the app.

01. Put capture at the system level

FlashNote builds capture into Lock Screen widgets, Home Screen widgets, and Shortcuts. One or two taps from anywhere—and an idea never has to survive the journey of opening an app first.

02. Triage while recording

Each card can be an inspiration, a piece of information, or a task. Choosing a type at creation does the first round of sorting for you—no folders needed later; the burden of organizing is spread across many light moments.

03. Color is a lightweight tag

Relaxed, important, urgent... six semantic colors help you quickly gauge what matters in a long list. No complex system required—just a second of intuition.

04. Copy is capture

See a passage worth keeping? Copy it, open the app, and the clipboard is recognized as a card. Browsing and recording blend into one motion: catch first, process later.
