I built a Telegram/WhatsApp capture layer for my personal knowledge system

I built Hermes as a capture layer for my personal knowledge system.

My problem was not note-taking. It was capture fragmentation. Links were in bookmarks, ideas were in chats, screenshots were in Photos, voice notes were separate, and useful things disappeared when I needed them.

Hermes lets me send links, voice notes, images, and reminders from Telegram or WhatsApp. It then summarizes, categorizes, tags, and saves them into Markdown so I can browse them later in Obsidian.

It supports:

- link capture and summaries
- voice note transcription
- image descriptions
- tags and custom categorization rules
- Q&A over saved knowledge
- daily digest and weekly report
- guest access to selected categories

I am curious how people here think about capture systems. Do you prefer everything to start inside the notes app, or do you like external capture layers that feed into the vault?
