Build me a native quick-capture inbox for iPhone and Mac to replace Capture. Requirements: - Swift 6 + SwiftUI, one Xcode project: an iOS app and a macOS menu bar app sharing a Swift package for the model, persistence, search, and export logic. SwiftData for storage, synced through my private CloudKit database. - A capture is text, a URL, an image, or a file, with a list, archive state, and created/edited dates. Run NSDataDetector on text so URLs, phone numbers, and dates become tappable. - iOS: a share extension so anything can be sent in from any app, plus a WidgetKit widget for one-tap capture. Mac: a menu bar item with a global hotkey opening a compact capture window. - Inbox, Archive, and lists, with full-text search and undoable archive/delete. JSON export of everything so my notes are never trapped. - Export actions for the destinations I actually use: Reminders and Calendar via EventKit, a Mail draft, Things and Bear via their URL schemes, and copy-as-Markdown. One small adapter file per destination so more are addable later. - Offline-first: SwiftData writes locally and CloudKit retries when back online. Last-write-wins conflict handling is fine, say so in the README. - No accounts, no telemetry, nothing leaves my devices except private iCloud sync and the exports I trigger. - Out of scope: Apple Watch and Vision Pro apps, and Capture's 40+ destination catalog. Keeping that many exporters alive is the paid product's job, not mine. - README: the entitlements to enable (App Groups, iCloud/CloudKit), and a plain warning that CloudKit sync needs a paid Apple Developer account.
What you lose
- ✕App Store-ready polish across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro
- ✕years of CloudKit migration, conflict, and offline-sync edge cases
- ✕ongoing maintenance for more than 40 destination-specific export integrations
- ✕the localization, accessibility, and device test matrix
- ✕fast compatibility updates when Apple or a destination app changes behavior
Prior art / alternatives
Why it still works
maintenance across Apple platforms, CloudKit, system integrations, and more than 40 destination-specific exporters
