I posted here last week asking if people actually use screenshots as reminders.

The feedback was pretty consistent:

  • people do this all the time
  • they rarely go back to them
  • it’s “just how it is”

The biggest insight for me was that it’s not really about screenshots, that’s just the mechanism.

The real moment is:
you see something, don’t have time to deal with it but also don’t want to lose it.

So I pushed an update focused on that:

  • much more reliable handling of obvious cases (events, “do this later” moments)
  • preparing things in the background so they’re ready when you come back
  • making it easier to surface what actually matters (added simple filters to cut through the pile)

Trying to figure out if this now crosses the line from “interesting idea” → “something I’d actually use”

Curious:

  • does this feel like something you’d rely on?
  • or still more of a “nice in theory” thing?

Happy to share a link if anyone wants to try it.
