Global Quick Capture (macOS)

Global Quick Capture lets you add a task from anywhere on your Mac without leaving the app you are in. A thought arrives mid-email; you capture it and carry on.

Press ⌃⌥C from any application. A small capture panel appears over your current window. Type the task and press . It lands in your Inbox and the panel disappears, returning you exactly where you were.

The panel runs the same smart parsing as the main capture overlay, so you can set a #project, a date, and a recurrence inline:

Reply to the landlord #Home tomorrow

The shortcut is on by default. You can change it, and choose whether Rymi launches at login, in Settings. Global Quick Capture is a macOS feature; on iPhone and iPad, use the share extension instead.
