Capturing your first note

Clair Mind is built around one idea: capturing a thought should take a single tap, so you never lose an idea because saving it felt like work.

Capture by text

  1. Open Clair Mind. The capture bar is right there on your home screen.
  2. Tap it, type your thought, and you're done — the note lands safely in your Inbox.
  3. Sort it into a notebook later, or leave it in the Inbox. Either way it's fully searchable.

Everything is saved on your device and works completely offline. No account needed.

Capture by scanning a page

Have a handwritten note or a printed page you want to keep?

  1. In the composer, choose Scan.
  2. Point your camera at the page — Clair Mind detects the edges and captures it.
  3. The text is recognized on your device and dropped into a note, ready to edit.

Scanning happens entirely on your iPhone, so the page never leaves your device.

What happens next

Once a thought is in Clair Mind you can move it into a colorful notebook, find it instantly with search, or ask Clair about it. See How Ask AI works to get answers across everything you've captured.
