Capture now. Organize later.

Put every thought down on your phone in one tap. Sort it at your desk when you’re ready, one at a time.

Free. No account. Runs in your browser.

A thought saved on the phone’s Capture screen appears at the top of the DeskOS inbox, next to the sidebar of spaces and the actions for sorting it.

Your head is full. Your notes app wants a folder.

Ideas, deadlines, and worries show up in the middle of lecture, on the bus, or at 1 a.m. Most tools ask you to pick a folder, a tag, and a due date right then, which is exactly when you have the least room to think. So the thought gets lost, or it stays in your head taking up space. Thought Dock splits the job in two: catch it in a second now, and decide what it is later, when you sit down on purpose.

How it works

Two screens with two different jobs. Your phone catches. Your desk sorts.

  1. 1 · On your phone

    Capture

    Type it, say it, or snap a photo, then tap Save. Voice notes show a live transcript while you talk. There are no folders, tags, or dates to choose.

  2. 2 · Once, in ten seconds

    Pair

    Open your desk on a laptop and scan its QR code with your phone. That links the two. No account, no email, no password.

  3. 3 · At your desk, when you choose

    Sort

    Everything you caught is waiting in one inbox. Make it a task, put it on your calendar, or file it in a space like Classes, Engineering, or College Apps.

Sort, one thought at a time.

Sort shows a single thought, large, with every action under it. Each action has one key, so you can clear your inbox without reaching for the mouse. Every key is also a labeled button.

The Sort view: one thought shown large, a suggestion that it looks like an Event, and seven actions with keys: T Task, E Event, M Move, D Develop, C Connect, K Keep, A Archive.

  1. E

    Make it an Event. Pick Thursday at 6 PM and add it to any calendar.

  2. ⌘Z

    Changed your mind? Undo puts it right back where it was.

  3. →

    On to the next one. At the end: “Inbox clear. Nothing’s waiting on you.”

Suggestions you control.

Thought Dock guesses what each thought is: a task, an event, an idea, a resource, or a note. The guess comes from a small model we trained from scratch, and it runs entirely on your device, so sorting never sends your words to an AI service.

It only suggests. It never moves, files, or deletes anything on its own. When it isn’t fairly sure, it stays quiet, and you can turn it off in Settings.

Accessible on purpose. Check it yourself.

We built Thought Dock for ENGR 1, Making an Accessible World. Each commitment below comes with a way to test it in under a minute.

Keyboard for everything
Put the mouse away. Tab reaches every control, and every Sort action has a single key.
A focus ring you can see
Press Tab. Whatever has focus gets a 3px blue outline, in light and dark.
AA contrast in both themes
Body text meets WCAG 2.2 AA (4.5:1) on light and dark. Switch your system theme to compare.
Reduced motion respected
Turn on Reduce Motion in your system or in Settings. Movement stops; gentle fades stay.
Meaning never by color alone
Every kind of thought shows an icon and a word, never just a tint.
Undo everything
Change anything in Sort, then press ⌘Z or U. Archive keeps things; nothing is deleted.
Gentle language
No streaks, no scores, no red overdue alarms. A missed date reads “Was due Tue.”
