Boat Note → Capture to Complete

Sending voice notes to yourself is not a system. Draft emails is a failure. Stop burying your ideas in Apple Notes - Google Keep just keeps your concepts - Boat Note returns them to you with interest. Boat connects all your devices through your Google account. Then, when you're ready, Boat helps you understand and organise what you've captured and get things done. Your data lives in your Google account — not ours.

Capture: Get Ideas Out of Your Head Instantly

Capture notes, photos, voice memos, sketches, and links in seconds — no categories required. Boat's zero-friction capture works completely offline, so nothing blocks you on the subway, in a meeting, or anywhere without wifi. Install Boat on your phone, tablet, or desktop. Your captures sync to Google Sheets when you reconnect. The goal: externalise faster than you overthink.

Understand: AI Insights From Your Notes

Understand is how Boat helps you make sense of what you've captured. Ask a question about your notes — "what have I been working on?", "what keeps coming up?", "am I making progress?" — and get a structured, personalised answer. Insights surface patterns, recurring themes, and next steps. It costs credits per query; new users get free starter credits. You stay in control — Boat suggests, you decide.

Organise: Lists, Flags, and AI Assistant

Group notes into Lists (like folders, but flexible). Tag notes with Flags — Float, Tethered, or Anchored — to track status and priority. Use AI to suggest better titles, merges, and list assignments when you're ready. Batch actions let you move, flag, or archive dozens of notes at once. Search and filter across everything instantly. Organise when you're ready, not as you go.

Complete: Get Things Done and Close the Loop

Mark notes Done to archive them cleanly — Done is not delete. Set Nudges as time-based reminders on any note. Review what you've completed to see real progress. Boat's Done list keeps your history intact while keeping your active lists clear. Everything you've captured is retrievable, searchable, and still yours.

Your Data, Your Google Account

Boat never owns your data. Notes sync to your Google Sheets, media to your Google Drive. No vendor lock-in — export or access your entire knowledge base anytime. Delete your Google connection and your data stays in your account, not ours. Privacy-first by design.
