If, like me, you're using a mac+iphone and struggling to use org on mobile, you may, like me, have come to the conclusion that Apple Notes is, bar none, the best solution for making quick notes on the go (mostly in my case saved links, but also ideas I have while not in front of a computer) and, of course, org-mode is bar none the best place to actually keep those notes in the long term. What do?
I've been trying to find a good solution for ages, and I think I've finally figured out a reasonable workflow. The apps Captee and Scrim ($7.99 bundled together on the app store) are designed to act as a bridge between org-capture and the share menu on mac, and they do a pretty good job. So my workflow is, I capture stuff on my phone, open notes on the mac (once a day, once a week, whatever), and use the share function on each one. It goes through an org-capture template of my choosing, and winds up in the right place.
(As a bonus, just using Scrim works as a bridge for the org capture browser extension without having to do any of the heavy lifting around making an emacs capture app and etc they suggest. Yes I know I could set that up, but this just works, all I have to do is three lines to start a server per the Scrim docs)
I'm not paid by the app devs or anything of course, and I know at least Scrim has been mentioned here before, but none of my searches for how to do this were fruitful, so if nothing else I'm making this post for the next person like me trying to figure this out.
ETA: this isn't, of course, the best solution for tasks on mobile, imho beorg is still far superior for that. But on an iphone absolutely nothing works to input random crap like Apple Notes.
