Capture to Mindwtr

Use Capture to Mindwtr to send a task into Mindwtr's Inbox capture flow.

Parameter	Required	Notes
Task	Yes	Empty titles are rejected.
Note	No	Added as task description.
Tags	No	Comma-separated tags are normalized when saving.
Project	No	Matches an active project by title, or creates one when saved.

The shortcut opens Mindwtr and shows the capture screen. The app writes the task through its normal local store, revision, and sync path.

Open a list

Open Mindwtr List can jump to Inbox, Focus, Waiting For, Someday, Projects, Review, or Calendar.

URL scheme fallback

Use URL schemes when another automation tool cannot see native App Intents:

mindwtr://capture?title=Buy%20groceries
mindwtr://capture?title=Buy%20groceries&note=From%20store
mindwtr://open-feature?feature=focus
mindwtr://open-feature?feature=review

Limits

Shortcuts do not currently provide background task creation, find/edit/delete actions, batch operations, Apple Watch direct actions, or CarPlay support.
