Desktop Quick Capture lets you capture tasks and ideas instantly — without switching context.
Open Quick Capture from anywhere
On desktop, you can open Quick Capture using a global shortcut.
Option + Space
Type what’s on your mind, then press Enter to add it.

Choose a Space while you capture
You can decide where the item belongs right as you capture it.
Use ↑ / ↓ to move through your Spaces
Press Enter to add the item to the selected Space
This way, you can capture the moment it comes up — and stay in flow.
When this is most useful
Quick Capture is especially helpful when:
an idea shows up mid-task
you’re in a meeting and need to record a follow-up
you want to log something quickly and return immediately
No extra steps. No context switching.
