• Save a link from any app
• Pick the reason yourself
• Find it in your notes
• Mark a save as finished
• Save from your computer
• Send each site to the right reason
• Connect your AI assistant
• Bring your old links with you

1. Install TapCue and sign in

   1. Install TapCue from Google Play.
   2. Open TapCue and type your email address.
   3. Tap the link TapCue emails you, or type the 6-digit code from the email. There is no password.

2. Choose where your saves go

   1. When TapCue asks where your saves should go, pick one: your Obsidian vault or a folder, email, Notion, Todoist or another destination.
   2. Follow the short setup on that screen.

   You can change this any time in the Destinations tab.

5. Find it in your notes

7. Save from your computer

   1. Add the TapCue extension from the Chrome Web Store and sign in.
   2. On any page, click the TapCue button in the toolbar and choose why you're saving it.
   3. Or right-click a page, link or selected text and choose Save to TapCue, or press Alt+Shift+S to save the page at once.

   Saves wait and go out when you're back online, and the extension can also open your full TapCue page.

8. Send each site to the right reason

   1. Open Categories in TapCue to turn reasons on or off and choose where each one goes.
   2. With Pro, add your own reasons and rules per site, so your team's wiki always goes to Work.
   3. With Pro, write your own note template in Markdown, JSON, XML or YAML. TapCue checks it as you type.

   Guides: save links as JSON, XML or YAML files and share a link to a webhook.

9. Connect your AI assistant

   1. Sign in at tapcue.app with Pro and create an API key under Account.
   2. Add TapCue's MCP connector to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another assistant, using the setup steps.
   3. Ask it something, like "What did I save for you this week?" or "Read the article I saved and summarise it."

   What did I save for you this week?

   From TapCue, For AI:
