I've been looking for a solution like this for years. I briefly had an iOS shortcut on my Apple Watch working, but an OS update broke it. Now I'm on Android and I don't even know what I'd use for it. And it's exactly for these random thoughts and reminders that otherwise nag me or I forget them. David Allen (GTD) will love this too.

My only wish is that I hope it preserves the audio file, in case the transcription is wrong, so you don't lose the thought. Google Keep does this well and it's a life saver sometimes, when the transcription comes through as "Eat the cat" or something ridiculous.


Really compelling article! What do folks use instead in 2025?

Don't storage templates handle this out of the box? I haven't actually checked my instance but that was my impression from reading the docs!

What a cool post! Really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for sharing - definitely learnt a few things reading it!


Wow, a beast. Looking forward to the next post!


One minor tip that I think can have a big impact: whenever writing down something to run on the command line (e.g. for documentation or other kind of sharing), always use the --full-version of the flags (instead of the short -f version). The extra information it conveys is worth a lot. If someone gets tired of typing it, it's easy to find the short version.


Well said! I share those two priorities, and am now moving in the inverse direction, but I plan to use GrapheneOS.


Any chance you’re selling the ePub format directly, or via the Kobo store? I switched from Kindle to Kobo a few months back, when Amazon decided to remove everyone’s ability to download the books they’ve purchased. But I’d love to read this!


My priority is Kindle, then print. Then I will look into other formats. At that point I will have a PDF (that was used for Print) and an epub, so it will primarily be driven by interest.

The best way to be notified by it is to be on my list at loufranco.com or reaching out to me.


Haven’t heard of Fathers Ted, and I assumed by the title that this was an article about passphrases


Yes, a Father Ted Kilnettle Shrine Tape Dispenser is an alternative to a Correct Horse Battery Staple


surely there is no alternative to my lovely correct horse battery staple?!
