We want to add this feature in the future, but don't expect it anytime soon.
Thanks for all the ideas and input here so far! 🙏

Mobile app needs work (quick add + performance upgrade)

The mobile app in itself is great to work with and a good companion app to the desktop version. However, accessibility (esp. now that iOS 18 with AI is out) can be greatly improved. One of the biggest flexes for any note-taking app is quick add - the ability to add widgets and quick add shortcuts to the "today" calendar view would be really cool.
A quick add shortcut on the desktop will also be nice. Just hitting a keyboard shortcut to launch Quick Note (similar to how Apple Notes’ quick note works).
Performance improvements (both on the mobile app and desktop; esp. on the mobile) will be key to adding thoughts quickly. I really like this feature on Todoist - just tap on quick add and it opens lightning fast.

Since I've tried this feature in Lazy.so I can't imagine not having this in Capacities, especially for referencing emails from Apple mail into my Daily notes.
In my opinion this feature should not create a new object with the content captured (like for weblinks) but simply add a deeplink with basic formatting to the source of the capture.
For exemple if I capture an email to reference it in a daily note, I expect to have a deep link to the given email with the mail subject as the title created in my note.

We just released our Raycast integration. It allows you to map shortcuts to commands to capture content quickly to Capacities.
It's not everything requested here, but it is a first step!
You can read more about it here: https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-37

Steffen Bleher- Raycast works AMAZINGLY well for this on macOS :)

Steffen Bleher Raycast is a good workaround for this feature but in the current Raycast integration I miss the context of the capture.
For example, if I highlight some text in a web page or an email and run the Raycast's "Save to daily note" command, the "Note" field is actually empty. I'll expect the "Note" field to be filled with the highlighted text and a backlink to the source of the captured content (the given web page or the given email), to be added into the note

This would be fantastic, especially in conjunction with the upcoming task management. I often jump between my task management system and Capacities as I like to have my tasks for today on my Today Page. I start with Capacities, and whatever I don't finish goes into Todoist at the end of the day. Global Quick Add would streamline this significantly while I'm processing information from e-mail, calls, etc.

Steffen Bleher - Is this being considered for the long-term roadmap? Thank you!
Steffen Bleher
Damian Morales: Yes, there might also be a lot possible with a Raycast integration, for example.

Would definitely love something similar to the Todoist quick add shortcut - it's a lifesaver to be able to capture things while they're still at the top of my mind.

This would be fantastic - easily one of the best features of Mem.ai. The ability to select text and then quick-capture it using Windows Spotlight is phenomenal. Would love this feature for Windows Capacities.
