Capture and organise your thoughts

Great for working memory — get it out of your head and into one place

Individual Working memory
Contributed by M Mahdi

The problem

Thoughts arrive whether you’re ready or not — mid-task, mid-call, mid-scroll. If there’s nowhere obvious to put them, they either interrupt what you’re doing or vanish before you can use them.

What changes

Every thought has one place to go. Type it into Humble the moment it arrives, get back to what you were doing and find it waiting — attached to the page or task it belongs to.

How Humble helps

1
Add it the moment it arrives
Type the thought into the task input or a sticky note the second it appears. No filing decision, no new app — just get it down.
2
Leave notes right where you are
A note saved on a webpage stays attached to that URL. When you come back, the Humble icon turns green to show something’s waiting.
3
Find it when you need it
Your notes and tasks sit in one panel, organised as you go — so a thought from Tuesday is still there on Friday.

Set it up

Takes about two minutes

  1. Open Humble in your browser.
  2. Click the task input at the top of your panel.
  3. Type the thought and press Enter.
  4. For page-specific thoughts, open the extension and use the note field instead.
  5. Click Save — the page turns green in your panel.
