Supercharge Productivity Methods
with Email Memo

GTD, Inbox Zero, Second Brain — all proven productivity frameworks start with reliable capture. Simple Memo's email-based approach integrates naturally into any methodology as your go-to capture tool.

Why Email Memo Works with Any System

All productivity methods share one core philosophy: get things out of your head. By moving ideas, tasks, and observations into an external system, your brain is freed for creative thinking. But when capture is friction-heavy, people stop doing it.

Simple Memo solves this with ~1-second launch and one-tap send. Notes arrive in your email inbox, fully integrating with your existing workflow. Not locked into a proprietary database, email memo works alongside any methodology — that flexibility is its greatest strength.

Zero-Friction Capture
Capture the moment you think it. 0.4s launch, one-tap send — before the idea evaporates. Lower capture cost means dramatically higher follow-through rates.
Email Inbox = Universal Inbox
Email is already central to your daily workflow. Sending memos as email integrates them into your existing system without any special processing steps.
Works Alongside Any Tool
Notion, Obsidian, Things, Todoist, paper notebooks — email memo works as the capture layer for any tool. Switch methods and it still works.
