How often do you take screenshots on your iPhone?

Rarely — once or twice a month

When you save something, what happens next?

I forget about it until I randomly find it

I file it into a folder right away

I search for it later when I need it

I write the key point in my notebook

Which sounds more like you?

I have 5,000 screenshots and 800 unread bookmarks

I trust myself to find anything via search

Digital notes feel ephemeral — I write things down

Pick the worst feeling:

Realizing my folder structure is a mess

Searching for something and getting wrong results

Forgetting my notebook somewhere

Which app interface excites you?

One big input box — just paste everything

Nested folders + tags + projects

A blank page that looks like paper

How much manual organization will you actually do?

Zero. Auto-organize or I'll abandon the app.

I'll spend Sunday mornings filing

Just tags. Folders are too much.

I'll write a fresh notebook every month

Pick your dream feature:

Save anything in 0.5 seconds from anywhere

Beautiful customizable database views

Pen tablet that syncs handwritten notes

You're a Capture Maximalist

You save aggressively because ideas come faster than your brain can hold them. Your problem isn't capturing — you're great at it. Your problem is *retrieval*. Most note apps fail you because they ask you to organize at save-time, when you have 3 seconds.

You're an Organized Archivist

You love a clean folder structure. You name files thoughtfully. Your shame is when entropy wins and your system decays. Notion or Obsidian are built for you — flexible databases, custom views, your hierarchy your way.

You're Search-on-Demand

You don't want to file. You trust full-text search to find anything. You're right more often than the filers are — modern search beats human memory.

You're a Pen-and-Paper Loyalist

You think with a pen. Digital notes feel weightless and forgettable. That's not wrong — research backs you on handwriting and recall.
