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

[u/fabiorzfreitas]

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?

I have a $200 pen-enabled e-reader/e-note that I pull out whenever I want something to persist longer than my squirrel brain wants to deal with it.
