Capture
A LITTLE LIFE GUIDE / GUIDE

Prepare a capture when you have limited free entries

The free allowance is intended for trying a real workflow, not for filling a library with disposable tests.

The free allowance is intended for trying a real workflow, not for filling a library with disposable tests. Pick a meaningful source and review it before you spend an entry.

THE LITTLE THING TO REMEMBER

Test one complete workflow instead of deleting and recreating the same example.

01

Start with the source

The device has three new entries shared across approved captures, manual notes and manual to-dos. It also has three successful AI analyses or generated replies. These are separate counters, so one simple capture need not use both.

02

Make the review useful

Use on-device OCR and rules when they are sufficient. Review the draft, category and action titles before approval. Deleting an approved entry does not restore an entry, and cancelling a successful AI preview does not restore that AI trial.

03

Keep the next step clear

Saved entries stay readable, editable, exportable and completable after the allowance is used. Reviews, budgets and rules attached to that saved information remain usable. Lifetime removes the app’s entry and AI trial caps, with service and device limits still applying.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

One step at a time.

  1. 01

    Choose a source that represents a real recurring need.

  2. 02

    Select the reading mode deliberately.

  3. 03

    Check the complete review before approval.

  4. 04

    Keep using the saved entry to explore reminders and review tools.

A little reference.

Keep the context and your next action together.

ONE MORE QUESTION

Does reinstalling guarantee a fresh allowance?

The counters are kept in platform secure storage; deletion of a record is not an allowance reset, and the app does not promise reinstall resets.

Your source stays the reference.

These guides explain product workflows. Review extracted names, dates and amounts. Features depend on your device, permissions and optional service setup.
