Install qot

Start with whichever is nearest. Every client works offline on its own; sign in to the same email on each and your notes follow you.

Terminal

macOS and Linux

The quickest way to catch a thought while you work.

With Homebrew:

$ brew install aegatlin/tap/qot

Or without it (installs to ~/.local/bin):

$ curl -LsSf https://github.com/aegatlin/qot/releases/latest/download/qot_cli-installer.sh | sh

Then sign in, and take a note:

$ qot login you@example.com

$ qot get milk

qot login emails you a link and shows a code. Open the link, type the code, and the terminal is signed in, and so is the browser you opened the link in. Anything after qot is the note; qot list shows them and qot help shows the rest.

Web app

Any browser

Notes in a tab, or on your phone's Home Screen. It works offline once it has loaded.

Open app.quantumofthought.com and sign in with your email. To keep it on your phone like an app:

iPhone and iPad (Safari): Share, then Add to Home Screen.
Android (Chrome): the ⋮ menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app.
Desktop (Chrome, Edge): the install icon at the end of the address bar.

iPhone

Coming soon

A native app for capture without opening anything: Siri, the Action button, a Control Center control, and voice notes. Until it's here, the web app on your Home Screen does the job.

Mac

Later

A native Mac app comes after the iPhone. The terminal client runs on macOS today.
