Quick Capture for Mindwtr

Catch a task or plan in Capture before sending it to Mindwtr. Add a Mindwtr task from a Capture on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS, with an optional project and tags.

To send a capture to Mindwtr, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add Mindwtr as a destination. Use Capture on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS and install Mindwtr. Optionally enter a project name and tags. Text and phone captures become the task title. Links use the fetched page title as the title and put the URL in the note, or use the URL as the title when no title is cached. Mindwtr is offered as a destination for Text and Links captures.

  2. Capture hands off only the supported types listed above. Complete any confirmation or compose screen shown by Mindwtr.

Limits and troubleshooting

Limits

  • Mindwtr is excluded from Capture’s macOS destination picker, because Mindwtr’s Mac app only opens existing tasks from mindwtr:// links.
  • Images and files are unsupported.
  • A selected Capture date is not sent.
  • Capture does not check that the project or tags exist.

Troubleshooting

  • If Mindwtr is missing on Mac, that is expected; configure it on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS.
  • If the task is not in the project, check the project name spelling.
  • If Capture shows “Couldn’t open Mindwtr”, install Mindwtr on this device.
