Capture
Get a thought out of your head in seconds — online, offline, or from a reminder.
Capture is the one action GleanLog optimises hardest: getting a thought in must take under two seconds, from any device, with or without a connection.
The capture sheet
Tap the capture button and you get one field and one save. The task lands in your
default capture list with the @gtd-inbox tag; you can pick another list from the
sheet without leaving it. No project, status, due date or tag decision is required.
- Web — a capture bar stays available while you work; the sheet also offers voice input and translation of the captured text.
- Mobile — the capture sheet opens from the tab bar, so the keyboard is up and the field is focused before you have finished the thought.
What you can add later
Capture first, enrich later. From the task itself you can set the board, the list, a due date, a star, and a reminder. Task detail saves title and notes when you leave the field; the board, list, due date and star save as they change.
A capture that needs an attachment, or that resolves into a deliverable page, needs the network. Those controls say so instead of failing silently.
Reminders
The capture sheet and task detail offer the same presets — in 30 minutes, in 1 hour, tonight at 20:00, tomorrow at 09:00 — plus a repeat-daily toggle. A task has at most one reminder; setting a new time replaces it.
Reminders are delivered per account: the browser receives them through Web Push, a phone through Expo Push to APNs or FCM. Clearing a reminder anywhere stops it everywhere, and tapping one opens the task it belongs to.
Capture offline
Capture never waits for the server. The task appears at once, is queued on the device, and replays when the connection returns — see Offline.
