The Inbox is your capture point for any idea, task, or thought that enters your mind. Think of it as a frictionless collection bin where everything lands first before being organized.

⏰ When to Use It
Use the Inbox whenever something comes to mind that you don’t want to forget:
- ✓ Quick tasks that pop up during the day
- ✓ Ideas you want to develop later
- ✓ Things people mention that you need to follow up on
- ✓ Articles, videos, or content you want to save
- ✓ Random thoughts you don’t have time to organize right now
⚙️ How It Works
Dictate’s Collect feature is designed to be straightforward and flexible. You can add items to your inbox from anywhere in the app—there’s always a quick-add option in the header.
The philosophy: capture first, organize later. Don’t interrupt your flow to categorize or prioritize. Just get it out of your head and into the system.
💡 Tips & Examples
Keep it low-friction: The faster you can capture, the more likely you are to use it. Don’t worry about perfect formatting or categorization at capture time.
Process regularly: Your inbox should be a temporary holding area, not permanent storage. Set aside time daily or weekly to process → items into their proper place.
Capture everything: Even if something seems trivial, capture it. You can always delete it later during processing. The goal is to free your mind from trying to remember everything.
Example workflow:
- ✨ During a meeting, someone mentions a book → Add to inbox
- ✨ Thinking about dinner plans → Add to inbox
- ✨ Remember you need to email someone → Add to inbox
- ✨ Later, during your processing → session, you organize these items appropriately
