idea.log is an iPhone app for capturing ideas when they happen, whether you’re biking, walking, or just don’t want to context-switch into a full notes app. The whole thing is designed around speed: open, capture, close.
Features
- Fast Capture: Launch and record an idea in seconds, with minimal friction
- Siri Integration: Capture ideas hands-free using voice commands
- First-Step System: Every idea gets a concrete first step, turning vague thoughts into actionable items
- Share with Agent: Export ideas as structured prompts for AI tools to help with execution
- Semantic Search: Find past ideas by meaning, not just keywords
- Status Tracking: Ideas flow from captured to explored to in-progress to done
How It Works
Most idea apps try to be everything: notes, tasks, projects, wikis. idea.log does one thing. You have an idea, you capture it, and you move on. Later, you come back and add a first step, which is the single most important thing for turning an idea into something real.
The share-with-agent feature is what makes it click for me. Once an idea has a first step, you can export it as a structured prompt that an AI assistant can actually work with. The idea goes from “wouldn’t it be cool if…” to “here’s a concrete plan” in one tap.
