The Fastest One-Tap Capture App for iPhone — Save Anything From Any Surface

Nemos is a one-tap capture app for iPhone designed around a simple observation: the best ideas die in the gap between having them and writing them down. Every additional second of friction between your thought and your note is a chance for the idea to escape. Nemos integrates with every Apple capture surface — Share Sheet, Control Center, Apple Watch, Siri, Action Button, Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, browser extensions — so capture latency is measured in hundreds of milliseconds regardless of which surface you use. And because on-device AI handles naming, filing, and organization automatically, you don't lose time to manual filing afterward.

Sound familiar?

If you've felt any of these frustrations, you're not alone. Anyone who loses ideas in the gap between having them and writing them down deal with this every day.

1

Most note apps require at least 3-5 taps to save anything: open app, tap new note, pick a folder, type, save. By the time you're done, the idea is gone or you've been interrupted.

2

Apple Notes has a Lock Screen widget but it's text-only — you can't save a screenshot, link, voice memo, or PDF in one tap. And the widget requires you to commit to a specific type of note before tapping.

3

Between Share Sheet, Control Center, Siri, Apple Watch, Home Screen widgets, and the Action Button, Apple offers six surfaces for capture — but most note apps only integrate with one or two.

Here's how Nemos helps

Nemos was built to solve exactly these problems — automatically.

✓

Nemos integrates with every Apple capture surface: Share Sheet (from any app), Control Center (quick record), Apple Watch (voice memo from wrist), Siri (voice command save), Action Button (one physical press), Home Screen widgets (tap to record), Lock Screen widgets (tap to save).

✓

Every capture is routed to your library automatically with AI-generated title, content classification, and full-text indexing. You don't pick a folder, don't add tags, don't choose a type — you just capture and the app handles the rest.

✓

Capture latency from thought to saved is measured in hundreds of milliseconds, not seconds. The Share Sheet captures in ~300ms, Control Center voice capture starts recording in ~500ms, Apple Watch voice capture starts in ~400ms.

Features that matter for anyone who loses ideas in the gap between having them and writing them down

Share Sheet Integration

Save any content from any app via iOS Share Sheet. Text, images, URLs, PDFs — all routed to Nemos with auto-organization.

Control Center Quick Capture

Swipe down from the top-right corner, tap the Nemos widget, start recording a voice memo or taking a quick text note. Under 500ms from closed to capturing.

Action Button Save

Configure the iPhone 15 Pro Action Button to launch Nemos capture mode. One physical press from anywhere, even with the phone in your pocket.

Apple Watch One-Tap Voice

From your Watch face complication or Smart Stack, tap the Nemos icon to start a voice recording immediately. No phone needed.

"I used to write ideas on napkins because I'd forget them before my notes app finished loading. Now I hit the Action Button, say the idea, and walk away. It's all transcribed and filed before I pull my phone back out."
