Quick Notes for FSNotes

Use Capture as a fast inbox before an idea becomes a note in FSNotes. Create a new FSNotes note from a Capture on macOS with no extra destination settings.

To send a capture to FSNotes, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add FSNotes as a destination. Use Capture on macOS and install FSNotes, then add the destination and save. Text becomes note text and includes Capture’s selected date where applicable. Links use the fetched title as a note title and the URL as note text when metadata exists. FSNotes is offered as a destination for Text and Links captures.
