Introduction

What smiet is and how capture, triage and the inbox fit together

What is smiet?

smiet is an inbox for loose thoughts. You get a thought out of your head in a few seconds — typed or spoken — and smiet sorts it for you. No folders, tags or decisions at capture time.

How it works

1

Capture

Type or speak on the Capture screen and press Add to inbox. Voice is transcribed on the server. Captures made offline are queued and synced when you're back online.

2

Triage

Each note gets one destination, with the useful details pulled out — a due date, an event time, a reply draft. A note that holds two separate thoughts is split in two.

3

Act

Work through your inbox: mark notes Done, archive the noise, or correct a destination. A connected assistant can also carry notes out for you over MCP.

Destinations

Task

Something to do, with a due date and priority when you mention one.

Event

Something happening at a date or time, with start, end and location.

Reply

A message you owe someone, with a ready-to-send draft.

Idea

A thought worth keeping. The catch-all.

Feedback

Feedback about a project or product, sent on through a connected service.

Where you can use it

  • Web — capture and work the inbox in any browser.
  • iPhone app — hold-to-talk capture, the share sheet, Siri and a home-screen widget. It adds tasks and events to Reminders and Calendar.
  • Mac app — the same account and inbox on your Mac.
  • Assistants (MCP) — point Claude or another MCP client at /mcp and it can read, triage and complete notes after you approve access once.
  • API keys — create an oat_ key under Settings → API keys for scripts and other tools.
