✏️ Your First Note

This page covers just one thing: how to capture whatever is on your mind right now, with the least effort.

The Three Fastest Ways

1. Speak it out (the fastest)

Open the app, tap record, speak, tap stop.

The transcribed text appears automatically. You don't have to do a thing. Filler words and typos are cleaned up along the way.

Best for: classes / meetings / interviews; walking / driving / when your hands are busy; when inspiration flashes by.

2. Write it down (the most accurate)

Tap "Note" and start typing.

No formatting, no title required, no thinking about structure — just write whatever comes to mind.

3. Save it in (the easiest)

Come across a great article, tap Copy Link or system Share → choose inFin.

Body text and images are imported automatically, and ads are filtered out. See Web Clipper.

Add a Tag to Your First Note

In the body, type # followed by a keyword — for example, #Inspiration or #Work/Project A.

Tags are the only way to organize things in inFin, and the only clue you'll have later for finding content. Don't skip this — a second of investment here will save you ten minutes of searching later.

See Tags.

What a "Good Note" Looks Like

It doesn't need to be long. The best notes we've seen are often just a sentence or two:

Talked with users today and found that their pain point isn't "too few features" but "starting to record" feeling too heavy. — #Product/User Interview 2026.10.12

It did just one thing: it captured the judgment of the moment.

Three months later when you look back, the value isn't how profound that sentence is — it's that the scene comes back with it.

When to Try Deep Insight for the First Time

Once you've noted around 30 notes, you can give Deep Insight a try.

Enter "Note Insights" and tap any one of the six dimensions — "Inner Compass" — to automatically derive an insight across your notes.

It reads from this batch of notes whether what you're busy doing on the surface and what you truly care about inside are the same thing.

Common Questions

Q: Should I plan a taxonomy first?

No. Tags can be added and changed at any time. Take 100 notes first, and you'll naturally see what you most often record.

Q: What if I get something wrong?

Just edit it. All content is editable, and changes are saved automatically.

Q: How much should I write per day?

There's no standard. But we hope you record every day: if you write just one note a day, after a year you'll have enough to be surprised by yourself at some point.
