Daily
Use Ideas when you need to capture sparks quickly
Ideas is the lightweight capture surface for thoughts that are useful but not yet tasks.
Problem / use case
If you need to capture sparks quickly, Ideas becomes fragile when the work behind open Daily, then Ideas. and Capture the idea with enough category context to find it later. is separated from Daily Plan, Projects, and Scratch.
What should be done conceptually
Ideas works best when the daily decision, next action, and progress evidence stay close enough for capture sparks quickly to remain visible.
TimeLens solution
TimeLens solves that by making Ideas part of the same workspace as Daily Plan, Projects, and Scratch, so the feature helps the work move instead of becoming another isolated page.
Actual app screen
The public guide links to the real TimeLens route instead of showing a recreated mockup. Open the linked TimeLens screen to see the same route in action.
