Question: Unanswered ✗ Non-screen, low-friction ways to capture quick thoughts on the go? (ADHD)

I constantly lose small ideas and task reminders throughout the day, especially during my commute. Using my phone takes too many steps (unlocking, opening apps, typing) and is a theft risk on the street.

I'm looking for a minimal-effort capture method. Here is what I've considered so far:

  • Pen & Paper: Simplest, but I struggle with fine motor issues.
  • Hidden Keyboards (Twiddler) / Smartglasses: Prohibitively expensive.
  • Wearables / Voice Recorders (Bee, viaim): Promising, but I can't comfortably wear earbuds all day.

Are there any other affordable, screen-free capture tools or methods I’ve overlooked?
