Capture

Capture is how things get into Moonjar. Anything you save — a webpage, a photo, a PDF, an email — runs through the same pipeline: read, classify, extract structured fields, embed for search, file under Documents.

Capture a webpage

Paste a URL or share from your browser. Read →

Capture a photo

From your camera or photo library. Read →

Capture a PDF

Files from anywhere on your phone. Read →

Scan a document

Multi-page scan with live edge detection. Read →

Capture by email

Forward email to Moonjar. Read →

For voice — dictating into chat, or live conversation mode — see Voice mode under Chat.

When you save something from the iOS share sheet or from the note / URL modes of the Capture tab, you can attach three optional bits of intent before tapping Save:

  • A note — your own free-text “why I’m saving this”. Stored alongside the document so the classifier’s auto-summary doesn’t overwrite your words.
  • A reminder. Pick Tonight 7pm, Tomorrow 9am, Weekend, or Next week. Moonjar creates a reminder pointing at the captured document — see Create a reminder.
  • Send to triage. Skip auto-classification and park the document in the Triage inbox for manual filing later.

In the Capture tab, the panel is collapsed by default — tap “Add a note, reminder, or send to triage” to open it. Photo, PDF, and scan modes don’t show the panel; their note can still be added via the share sheet’s compose form.

Whatever you send in is read, classified into one of 15 document types, and indexed for search — all in seconds. PDFs and images get text extracted. URLs get the readable article pulled out (skipping nav and ads). For sites that block scripted fetches, Moonjar falls back to a real browser render. For YouTube and similar video pages, a site-specific handler pulls the video metadata and transcript instead.

If a capture looks like a duplicate of something you already have, Moonjar asks before saving a second copy.
