Commentarii Roamani: CAPTURR
|
Commentarii Roamani Hello Roamans! This week we are looking at CAPTURR by Paul Giffiths, a native iOS app that sends notes, todos, voice memos, and scanned documents to your Roam graph from your phone. CAPTURRCAPTURR is a smooth native iOS app that sends notes, todos, voice memos, and scanned documents to your Roam graph. It is built for speed and works offline, which means you can capture something on the subway or in a room with bad signal and it will sync when you are back online. SetupTo get started, download the app from the App Store. CAPTURR is free, collects no data, and nothing leaves your device except what you send to your graph. Then, paste in a Roam Research API token from your graph settings. You will need one append API token, and one backend (read+edit) API token that you will input in the settings (both can be easily found in Roam by going to Settings, then Graph, then New API Token). You can also play around with the additional settings, but for now, you're all set! What it doesYou can capture four types of content:
There is a dedicated TODO view inside the app where you can manage tasks pulled from your graph, organize them into sections with custom filters, and see a badge count for outstanding items. Everything can go to your Daily Notes or to a specific page of your choice, with optional blocks, tags, and timestamps. CAPTURR also comes with home screen and lock screen widgets for one-tap capture, and you can share URLs or text from any other app directly into your graph or into Roam Reader (check out our newsletter on Roam Reader!) Check out the great video that Paul Giffiths made to demonstrate his app for more information 👇 Quality of Life Improvements this month 🐣/table is now interactive. Click into any cell to edit, copy and paste across rows, and move blocks around without ever leaving the table. Autocomplete in Roam now shows live previews of pages and blocks, emphasizes matching terms, and shows reference counts so you can gauge relevance before you even link, Ctrl-O to toggle the preview on/off Local Graphs now support attachment transfer, and there’s a new attachments view in settings. For folks writing :q queries, a handful of new tools: Join our Slack channel here, and don’t forget to check out the Roam help graph for updates!
