Getting started

Install kttouk and make your first capture in under a minute.

Install

  1. Go to the Download page and grab the installer for your operating system.
  2. Run the installer. No account or sign-up is required — kttouk starts with a local, encrypted database on your device.

Your first capture

kttouk's whole idea is that capturing takes less than one second:

  • Quick capture — press Ctrl+Space (or click Quick capture at the top of the sidebar) to open the capture popup, type a line and press Enter.
  • Floating orb — an optional small orb floats over your screen. Click it to open the quick panel. Turn it on or off in Settings → Desktop widgets.
  • Global hotkeys — capture whatever you copied, from any app, with opt-in shortcuts in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts.

Everything you capture lands in the Inbox, where AI (if enabled) can help categorize and tag it.

Find your way around

  • Home — a daily dashboard of what matters today.
  • Work — a command-center view for the workday.
  • Inbox — everything captured and not yet sorted.
  • My Day — overdue, today's and in-progress tasks.
  • Upcoming — a week and month planning view with your tasks, reminders and calendar events.
  • Lists — group your tasks into lists and folders of lists.
  • Notes, Bookmarks and Tags — your library. Everything else (Tasks, Board, Timeline, Reminders, Ideas, Pomodoro, AI Assistant, Trash…) is under More.

Press Ctrl+K anywhere to open the command palette: create something, jump to a page or change a setting by typing its name.
