Roadmap
Built in public.
Capture is a small app, made by one person. Here's what's shipping next, what's coming after that, and what's still cooking.
Recently shipped
- v1.2 Date stamps on appends Add a bold date header above each appended capture, so a day's worth of entries logged into one note stays cleanly separated.
- v1.2 Custom date & time formats A new Date/Time Format settings tab — pick ISO, US, EU, or long-form dates and 24- or 12-hour time, applied consistently across note titles and appended content.
- v1.2 Tags when appending Tag append-mode captures the same way you tag new notes — the tag bar now appears in the append popup and writes your tags beneath the captured content.
- v1.1.2 Wider browser support Captures from Zen, Opera, and Orion now pull the page URL and title like Chrome and Safari — plus a fix so Firefox captures include the URL and title too.
-
v1.1
Heading-targeted append
Route captures into a specific
## Headinginside the target note instead of always landing at the end of the file. - v1.1 Tag autocomplete from your vault The tag input suggests tags already in use across your vault — ranked by how often you actually use each one.
-
v1.1
Blank-note overwrite fix
Blank captures into a folder that already had a same-named file no longer overwrite — they numerate as
capture 2.md,capture 3.md, … - v1.1 Third-party emoji picker fix Raycast's emoji picker (⌃⌘Space) and similar launcher-based pickers now insert into the capture popup instead of the previously-focused app.
- v1.0 1.0 — Capture goes paid Licensing, 7-day trial, and 3-Mac per license activation. The release that lets me keep building Capture full-time.
Now
- 📰 Publish date in front matter When you capture an article, Capture would sniff the page's published date (Open Graph, schema.org, common meta tags) and stamp it into your front matter alongside the URL — so your archive sorts chronologically by when the source was written, not when you saved it. Currently under investigation for feasibility — not every page exposes a reliable publish date.

🏷️
Custom front matter field names
Rename the default front matter keys to match your vault's conventions — e.g.
Added→Created,Source→URL, and so on. Your notes, your schema. - ✨ App polish — every release Small fixes and refinements ship in every version. If something feels off, it'll get smoother soon.
Next
- 🚀 Quick Note Open A keyboard shortcut to open any note in your vault directly — fuzzy-find by title, jump straight to it without ever touching Obsidian's sidebar.
Later
- 🔍 Ask your vault Ask a question in plain English and get an answer drawn from your own notes — Capture becomes a reader, not just a writer. Bring your own AI key (Claude, OpenAI, or on-device); only the handful of relevant snippets ever leave your Mac.
- 🔑 Bring your own keys for AI title generation For people who'd rather use OpenAI, Anthropic, or another cloud model instead of the on-device one. Your keys, your provider, your bill — Capture just routes the request.
- 📱 Possible iOS app A companion iPhone app for captures on the go — same vault, same speed-of-thought feel. Still exploring whether the desktop loop translates cleanly to a phone; no promises yet.
