What the capture box understands
Amounts, dates, times, people — what the parser reads, and how it decides where things go.
The capture box is a small on-device parser. It scans what you type for a few signals — an amount, a date or time, a person's name, a keyword — and uses them to decide which section the item belongs in and how to fill its fields.
The signals it reads
- Amounts like
4.50or$120suggest a Finance transaction. - Dates & times like
tomorrow 7am,Fri,March 3suggest a Calendar event or a due date. - Names like
call Sarahtag the item to a person in your Network. - Action words like
buy,email,finishlean toward a task.
How routing decides
The parser weighs those signals together. coffee 4.50 has an amount and no date, so it's an expense. coffee with Mia friday 10am has a time and a person, so it's an event tagged to Mia. When two readings are plausible, the live preview shows its best guess and lets you switch before you commit.
