# Designing a share-first knowledge tool

A session on why capture tools die: filing is friction. What survives is the share sheet.

# Designing a share-first knowledge tool
The research that shaped ManticsCore

Every note app asks you to file. Every read-later app becomes a graveyard. This session collected the evidence — product teardowns, retention writing, an old-web forensics rabbit hole — and kept converging on one idea: the only capture habit people already have on iOS is the share sheet.

- New habits to learn: 0
- Tap from anywhere: 1
- Links per session: 5

The design consequence: don't build an inbox that asks to be organized. Treat every share as an intentional signal, structure it on arrival, and let the session — not folders — carry the context.
