The capture box is designed to be available before you have decided where a thought belongs.

​
Open capture

Press ⌘K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux to focus the capture box. By default:
  • Enter tucks the thought.
  • Shift+Enter adds a new line.
You can swap that behavior in Settings.

​
Add meaning while you type

  • Type # for a tag.
  • Type @ for a person.
  • Use /brain while capturing to file the thought into a brain.
  • Add a date when the thought belongs on the calendar.
  • Drop files into the composer or paste an image.
  • Record audio when typing is the wrong tool.

​
When Tuck thinks something is actionable

Tuck may show This looks actionable and offer to turn the capture into a todo, schedule it, or make it repeat. Prefix a capture with * when you want to skip that suggestion.
