Your thoughts, in Notion, in a keystroke.

Press Ctrl Shift N from any app, jot it down in Markdown, and it lands in your Notion page or database. No tab switching, no loading screens.

The capture panel with a note titled 'Ideas for the weekend' ready to save to the Inbox page in Notion

A small panel over whatever you're doing. Type, hit Ctrl Enter, and get back to work.

Built for capturing, not organising

Everything you need to get an idea out of your head before it's gone.

One shortcut, anywhere

A global hotkey opens the panel over any app. Change it to whatever your fingers prefer.

Markdown that formats as you type

Headings, nested lists, to-dos, code, tables and links arrive in Notion as real blocks. Type / for the block menu.

Pages and databases

Save to a page, or fill in a database entry with a form built from its properties. Switch destination with Ctrl K.

Works offline

No connection? Captures are queued and sync automatically when you're back online.

Nothing gets lost

Half-written notes survive closing the panel and restarting the app. Discard has an Undo.

Private by design

Your token is encrypted with your OS keychain. Notes go straight to Notion. No telemetry, no accounts, no servers in between.

Up and running in two minutes

Connect once, then capture forever.
