A quick-capture app for deep work: type a thought, send it to Basecamp, Trello or your notes app, and get back to what you were doing.

Catch was built around one rule: get in, get out. When a thought came up in the middle of focused work, you opened Catch, typed it, and it routed the note to the right place, such as a Basecamp to-do, a Trello card or your notes app. Then you were back in flow.

The idea stayed with me. It lives on in the capture widget on my phone and in the design of the agent system I use today, where everything goes through a single orchestrator that routes it to the right place.
