Inbox – Capture Ideas and Notes

The Inbox is your quick-capture tool in EasyLife

Jot down ideas, notes and reminders the moment they come to mind. The Inbox lets you capture everything quickly, without disrupting what you're working on.

The Inbox uses a two-panel layout: on the left you have a quick-add field for new thoughts, and on the right a weekly calendar view that organizes your notes by day. Together they form a powerful, lightweight note-taking workflow.

1

Open the Inbox

Click Inbox in the left-hand sidebar menu. The Inbox page opens with two panels: the Quick Note input on the left and the Weekly Overview on the right.

The layout is designed so you can capture a thought in seconds while still seeing your full weekly context.

2

Capture an idea quickly

In the left panel, type your thought into the quick-input field and press Enter. Your note is saved instantly – you never lose a good idea.

For example, jot down "Call dentist about appointment" or "Research project timeline for Q2". Each note is automatically timestamped and placed under today's date.

3

Weekly overview

The right panel shows your notes organized by day of the week – Monday through Sunday. Each day shows its notes in chronological order.

Use the arrow buttons at the top to navigate between weeks, or click Today to jump directly to the current week. This makes it easy to review what you captured last week or plan ahead.

4

Sort and categorize

Use the category manager to tag notes as Work or Personal. This lets you filter your notes and instantly see only what's relevant.

Click on a category button to filter the view. For example, select Work to see only work-related notes, or All to return to the full list.

5

Search your notes

Use the search bar at the top of the inbox to find specific notes across all weeks. Type a keyword and results update in real time.

This is perfect for tracking down that idea you jotted down last month – even if you don't remember which day it was.

6

Export to PDF

Click the PDF export button to download your weekly notes as a formatted PDF document. This is ideal for sharing meeting notes with colleagues or keeping an offline backup of your ideas.

7

Bulk actions

Select multiple notes using the checkboxes, then choose an action: Move to Backlog, Move to Today, or Delete. This is the most efficient way to triage and process a full inbox.

Use bulk actions at the end of each week to clear out processed notes and keep your inbox clean.
