Quick capture for the thoughts worth keeping.

Quick capture for the thoughts worth keeping

Sparks is the calmest possible capture tool. Type a thought, hit ⌘+Enter, get back to your day. Optional tags, optional source, optional kind — capture is the point, organization is secondary.

Three things that make it not-a-notes-app

**Rhymes.** Open any spark and Sparks surfaces 2-3 older ones that share tags or words with it. Your corpus rhymes with itself — no manual linking, no graph to maintain. **Random.** One click in the header draws a single past spark uniformly at random. The anti-feed: no recency bias, no relevance scoring, no algorithm. Useful for stumbling on old thoughts you'd forgotten you had. **Markdown that matches the medium.** Light markdown for the things captured thoughts actually need: **bold**, *italic*, [links](https://example.com), > blockquotes, lists. Nothing heavier.

Built to be quiet

No AI auto-tagging. No "your second brain wants to talk to you" newsletters. No graph view that takes a weekend to learn. Just a capture box at the top of the page, a chronological stream below, and three small features that make the corpus feel alive.
