> I’d like a command line way to just create a new note in one line that gets stuck somewhere that can be added on or moved around later

On the Mac, I wrote an Alfred workflow that lets me type "c this is a note" in Alfred, hit <enter> and the line is appended to a file called "cap.txt". I then go through that file at the end of the day.

On iOS, I just use Reminders app's quick launch action to create a new Reminder and go through them at the end of the day.

You can use Notes if you have longer texts?

This is kind of what I do. But I would like a better way to sync Notes. It’s nice to go back through every once in a while to transfer to something more permanent but that takes work and messes up the date stamps for figuring out log and timeline.
