After spending ages fighting plugins and Apple Shortcuts to make Obsidian "quick capture" actually quick, I just built the thing.

Capture is LIVE! 🎉

⌥C anywhere on your Mac → into Obsidian in under 2 seconds. Mac-native. Tiny. No complicated UI nav.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Awesome to see Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic-- His thoughts on creating a LLM-powered personal wiki is what got me back in to Obsidian and ultimately inspired my creating Capture as a tool for quickly getting ideas and content into my Obsidian Vault / second brain set-up.

Here's how I have my second brain set-up...

Current workflow: • ⌥C -> Type note with web/app context automagically added • Note is created in Obsidian or appended to existing note • Claude parses my inbox every half hour • All my raw original writing goes into a personal folder / archive • Claude extracts the links/ideas/etc and adds them to my personal wiki with internal linking across themes, topics, etc

Extraction: • I periodically browse the wiki for inspo and reflection • I make Claude-powered queries against the vault when looking for something (e.g. "Who was that author I wanted to read more from last week?") • I have Claude run a weekly analysis to hold up a mirror and tell me what I've been focused on the last week, how it aligns with my goals/interests, new trends, areas to dig deeper, etc.
