Recording is one way in. When there's nothing to record — you're reading something, or you already know what you want to remember — you can type it, paste it, drop in a link, or share into Groupthink from another app.

## Write or paste a note

On the **Interactions** tab, tap **Write or paste** (or hit the **+** button and choose **Log interaction**). Type or paste anything — a thought, meeting notes, an email, a transcript, whatever you want to keep — and save.

Like a recording, a note ends with **Who is this about?** so you can file it to the people it concerns. See [People and "Who is this about?"](/docs/ios_people).

## Ingest a link

Tap **Ingest a link**, paste a URL, and tap **Fetch**. Groupthink pulls the page's text in on-device and turns it into a capture you can file to a person.

It works well for:

- Articles, blog posts, and newsletters
- Public transcripts and meeting notes
- Documentation and reference pages

It doesn't work for:

- **Videos** — share the transcript page instead
- **PDFs** and other file downloads
- **Pages behind a login**

If a page can't be fetched, Groupthink saves the link itself so you don't lose it, with a note that it couldn't read the page.

## Share into Groupthink from other apps

Groupthink adds a Share sheet action, so you can send things in without opening the app first. In Safari, Mail, Notes, a podcast app — anywhere with a Share button — tap **Share** and pick **Groupthink**. You can share:

- **Text** — a selection or a note
- **A link** — the same as Ingest a link, straight from the browser
- **An audio file** — a voice memo, for example

Shared items wait in an inbox on the Interactions tab. You'll see a **"N waiting from Share"** card at the top. Tap an item to bring it in: Groupthink reads or transcribes it, turns it into a capture, and then you can file it to a person like anything else.
