I’ve been struggling with something that sounds simple but is surprisingly annoying:

capturing content quickly across devices in a self-hosted environment.

On Android there’s share, on iOS shortcuts, on desktop copy/paste… but everything feels fragmented.

I often end up losing things or postponing them just because capturing isn’t frictionless.

Curious how others handle this.

    Pretty much everything 😄

    • links from browser
    • selected text
    • quick notes / thoughts
    • sometimes even just a sentence I don’t want to lose

    The problem (for me) wasn’t what to capture, but how fast and from where.

    I tried things like Linkwarden too — great tool, but still feels tied to specific entry points (browser extension, app, etc.).

    What I kept missing was something more “universal”, where capturing is always one step away regardless of device or context.
