Harbor

Can I email notes into Harbor?

Yes. Every Harbor account gets a private address ending in @m.harbor.my. Send or forward an email to it, and it shows up in Harbor as a note.

It’s the lowest-friction capture there is — no app open, no clipper, no copy-paste. The receipt, the flight confirmation, the newsletter worth keeping, the long email you’ll want findable in five years: forward it and move on. It’s waiting in Harbor the next time you look.

Once it arrives, it’s an ordinary note. File it into a notebook, tag it, let search find it later — and like everything else in Harbor, it syncs to all your devices. You can steer it as you send, too: an @Notebook or #tag in the subject files the note the moment it lands.

One thing to know before you use it: the address is a secret. Anyone who has it can send to it, and what they send becomes a note in your account. That’s what lets a scanner, a forwarding rule or a service like Zapier feed notes in.

So keep it to yourself. Signing out or changing your password doesn’t revoke it — only resetting the address does.

The full guide — where to find your address, who can send to it, the @Notebook / #tag rules, resetting, and turning it off — is in How does email to notes work?

Email-to-note rounds out a family of quick ways in:

  • The Web Clipper saves web pages in a click from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
  • On the Mac, Quick Capture lives in the menu bar with a global hotkey, so a thought can be filed without leaving what you’re doing.
  • On iPhone and iPad, the document scanner turns paper into searchable notes.
