Inspiration Card

An inspiration card is for the ideas and sparks you don't want to lose. An article that reframed how you think, a video that gave you an idea, a reference you want to return to — capture it with a source URL so it's findable later, not just memorable.

How to Create

Press n to open the New Card menu, or the number key matching Inspiration's position in your enabled card types (typically 4).

1. Tap New Card from anywhere in the app.
2. Choose Inspiration from the card type list.
3. Add a title and description in the Card Info point.
4. Fill in the Inspiration point with type, source, and tags.

The Inspiration Point

The Related point (Point 3) on an inspiration card has three fields:

• Inspiration Type — Categorize the kind of idea. An article, a concept, a technique, a person's work — whatever label helps you find it later.
• Source URL — Paste the link where you found it. If it came from a physical source or a conversation, leave this blank and note it in the description.
• Tags — Add freeform tags to make the card searchable alongside related ideas.

Tips

• Write why it sparked something. The source tells you where it came from; the Card Info description is where you capture what it made you think.
• Use Inspiration Type consistently. Pick a short vocabulary and stick to it — "article," "video," "talk," "quote" — so browsing by type stays useful over time.
• Tag broadly at first. Tags are flexible. You can refine your system as your collection grows. Assign cards to Decks to organize across card types (Point 4 on the card).
• Don't wait. Inspiration cards work best when created in the moment. A rough title and the URL is enough — you can fill in the rest later.
