Gedankenspeicher (Thought Capture)

Capture fleeting thoughts instantly — via text or voice — without breaking your flow.

What is Gedankenspeicher?

Gedankenspeicher ("thought storage") is a fast-capture system for quick ideas, reminders, and thoughts. Instead of creating a formal note, you capture the thought instantly and process it later.

Text Capture

Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + T

  1. Press the shortcut to open the text capture overlay
  2. Type your thought
  3. Press the shortcut again to save

Voice Capture

Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + G

  1. Press the shortcut to start recording
  2. Speak your thought (up to 5 minutes)
  3. Press the shortcut again to stop
  4. Mioru transcribes your voice via Whisper and saves the thought

The voice overlay shows a centered microphone card with a subtle theme-colored aura — clear visual feedback that Mioru is listening.

Processing Modes

Both text and voice capture support three processing modes:

ModeWhat it does
PlainSaves your input exactly as-is, no AI processing
StrukturiertAI organizes your thought into a structured note with headings and bullet points
ZusammengefasstAI summarizes your thought into a concise note

Where Thoughts Are Stored

All captured thoughts go into the dedicated Gedankenspeicher/ folder in your vault:

Gedankenspeicher appears as a dedicated collapsible block in the sidebar, below the search bar. It's separate from your regular project tree so captured thoughts don't clutter your folder structure.
