Quick Capture

Instantly grabs whatever is on your clipboard and appends it to the current note. There’s no window, no prompt. The content appears in Mudlark immediately.

This is the fastest way to collect snippets while browsing, reading, or working in another app. Copy something, press the shortcut, and keep going.

Opens a floating bar near the top of your screen with a single text field. Type what you want to capture, then press Return to append it to your note. Press Escape to dismiss. Use Shift+Return for newlines.

The bar understands Mudlark’s prefix characters. Start your text with a prefix and the bar recognizes it in real time: the border changes color, a badge appears showing the detected type, and a faded icon appears in the background. For example, typing + Buy groceries turns the bar green with a task indicator.

Without a prefix, text is captured as plain lines.

Some types show a live preview below the text field as you type:

• Math: evaluates the expression and shows the result immediately
• Timer: parses the duration and describes what will start
• Completion: shows which item will be checked off, or warns if there’s no match
• Move: shows what will be moved and where

You can drag text or images from any app and drop them onto the capture bar. This works with selections from Safari, PDFs, images from Finder, and more.

Dropped text is appended as new lines. Dropped images are saved and inserted as @ media lines, just like pasted images.
