Notes, todos, and quick capture

A conversation with your contractor on-site. A measurement you need to check before ordering tiles. A follow-up call you promised to make. Hemma has a place for all of it — the Notes screen — and a way to get things there fast.

01Three types of items

Everything you capture falls into one of three types:

  • Note — a free-form thought or observation. No deadline, no action required.
  • Todo — a task you need to complete. Can have a deadline. Can be ticked off.
  • Event — something happening at a specific date or time, which also creates a calendar entry.

02Getting to Notes

Tap Notes in the main navigation. You see everything you have captured, grouped by date, with filter tabs for Notes, Todos, and Events.

03Capturing something quickly

From the Notes screen, tap Add to open the capture form. Type or paste your text. Hemma's AI reads what you wrote and suggests:

  • What type it is (note, todo, or event)
  • Which entity it is linked to — a contractor, a phase, a document, a budget line

Review the suggestion, adjust if needed, and save. One tap and it is in the right place.

04Linking captures to entities

When you capture something, you can link it to any project entity:

  • A contractor — "Call Claes about the delayed windows"
  • A phase — "Double-check loadbearing wall before chape starts"
  • An asset (document) — "Invoice 4817 needs a credit note"
  • A budget line — "Flooring budget is short by €1,200"

Links are shown on the item card. You can tap the link to jump directly to the related entity. An item can have multiple links.

05Captures from email

When Hemma processes an email, it may extract actionable items — a date, a request, a commitment — and create captures automatically. These appear in the Notes screen tagged with Hemma as the source. You can edit, link, or delete them.

06Completing a todo

Tap the circle on the left of a todo item to tick it. It moves to the completed section. You can untick it any time.

07Common questions

Where does an Event capture go? An event capture also creates a calendar entry in your Hemma project calendar. If you have Google Calendar connected, it syncs there within two hours.

Can I capture something from the conversation screen? Yes. If Hemma extracts items during message processing, they appear in Notes automatically. You can also type directly in the capture form from any screen.

Can I delete a capture? Yes. Swipe left on the item or open it and tap Delete. Deletion is permanent.
