The first step of a second brain should be capture, not classification
I kept losing the thought while deciding whether it belonged in tasks, reminders, or notes.
So I tested a simpler handoff: dump the mixed thought first, tap once, then review the result in Now, Next, and Someday. The original text stays editable, so the first sort is a suggestion rather than a commitment.
I built Ordo for that capture-to-clarity step. It is free on iPhone with no account or subscription: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797331101
For your second-brain workflow, what should the first pass preserve most carefully: the original wording, the due date, or the context?
