Quick Capture, widgets and Siri

Set up Quick Capture

You’ll find every option under You › gear › Quick Capture. Next to each one it shows whether it’s set up.

Get the shortcut

For the Action button and Back Tap, you need the “Nodbase Quick Capture” shortcut once:

1. Under Quick Capture, tap Action Button or Back Tap.
2. Next to Get the shortcut, tap Get, then Shortcuts and Add.

Action button

For iPhones with an Action button (iPhone 15 Pro and later).

1. Get the shortcut as above.
2. Open iOS Settings › Action Button.
3. Swipe to “Shortcut” and choose “Nodbase Quick Capture”.

Back Tap

Works on every iPhone and keeps the Action button free.

1. Get the shortcut as above.
2. Open iOS Settings › Accessibility › Touch › Back Tap › Double Tap.
3. Choose “Nodbase Quick Capture”.

Control Center and Lock Screen

This button doesn’t take a screenshot. It opens Nodbase straight in Capture, with the microphone running. Good for people you’re meeting right now.

• Control Center: swipe down from the top right, touch and hold, choose “Add a Control” and pick Quick Capture.
• Lock Screen: touch and hold the Lock Screen, choose “Customize”, tap a button at the bottom and pick Quick Capture.
• Action button: iOS Settings › Action Button › “Controls” › Quick Capture.

Share menu

Works without setup. In a profile, link, text or screenshot, tap Share and choose Nodbase. Nodi shows what it found, and you tap Add.

Visual Intelligence

With iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence: take a screenshot of a profile and tap Image Search. Nodbase shows the person, and one tap adds them.

Siri

Say, for example, “Quick Capture with Nodbase”. See Siri and Shortcuts.
