A capture log is a journal-based version of the inbox, where ideas are getting captured. This was an idea mentioned by Merlin Mann 2024-10-23_08-21-merlin-mann for the first time, where he wants to yell into the void and let Siri capture his ideas, with automatic metadata like creation date, a location, and optionally the weather.

A capture log is kind of a journal about our ideas. It’s like a tail for our life.
