Once a note is processed, the Send button on the note toolbar puts your most common destinations one tap away. The paperplane icon means “send this somewhere.”

What Send does

Tap Send on any open note. The menu is grouped into Send to and Links. Copying has its own Copy button beside Send; see Copying Notes.

Send to

  • Send to Notion (Plus). Push the note to a database in your Notion workspace. See the Notion guide.
  • Send to Folder. Save this one note to your Local Export folder. See Local Export.
  • Send to Drafts. The whole note, straight into your Drafts inbox, with the title as a heading and your tags as real Drafts tags. Appears only when Drafts is installed. See Drafts.
  • Send to Bear. The whole note as a new Bear note, with your title and tags intact. Appears only when Bear is installed. See Bear.
  • Publish Link. Generate a web link anyone can open in a browser. See Shareable Links.
  • Share… The system share sheet for Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and any other app. On iPhone with iOS 26, Share has its own button in the bar under the note, so this row leaves the Send menu there.
Drafts, Bear, the share sheet, and every copy format except Copy Transcript carry the whole note, whichever tab you have open: the summary first, then the transcript under its own heading. You no longer need to switch between Notes and Transcript before you send. Once a note has a published link, a Links menu replaces Publish Link, with actions to copy the link, add or remove password protection, or unpublish it.

Copy

Copy is a separate button now, so the Send menu no longer lists the copy formats. One exception: on the smallest iPhone screens, when a voice note’s bar has no room for Copy, Send keeps a Copy section with the same four formats. See Copying Notes.

Send Tasks

Tasks arrives in Cleft v1.16.0 on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Until then, you will not find **Send Tasks** or **New Task** in the app.
Pull the checklist items out of the note and send them to Apple Reminders, Things, a Shortcut, or your clipboard. See Tasks.

Send vs. the ••• menu

The Send button is for getting a note out of Cleft. The ellipsis (•••) menu next to the Send button is for actions you take on the note inside Cleft. That’s where you’ll find actions such as:
  • Pin Note and Favorite Note
  • Note Details
  • Rewrite (regenerate the summary)
  • Cue Card, Duplicate Note, and Archive Note
  • Save Audio, Delete Audio, and Delete Note
  • Previous Note and Next Note, when there are notes to walk back through
On Mac and iPad, some of these can sit on the note toolbar instead, depending on how you arrange it. For the full list, see Note Actions.

Default send shortcut

Cleft does not currently offer a default send destination, on any plan. Tapping Send opens the menu, and you choose where the note goes from there.

Notion shortcuts

Send to Notion remembers where your notes go. With auto-send on, it sends to your auto-send database. Otherwise it sends to the database you last used. The first time, with one database it sends straight there, and with several it opens the list so you can choose. To send somewhere else, change the Destination row in Settings → Sharing → Notion. If you send most of your notes to Notion, two settings save you more taps.
Turn on Auto-send finished notes in Settings → Sharing → Notion and pick a database in the Destination row. Every finished recording lands in that database with no extra tap, and Send → Send to Notion on a note goes to the same database.
See the Notion guide for the full details.

Mac

  • ⌥P. Send the current note to Notion, to the same database the Send menu would use. It opens the database list only when Cleft does not know a database yet and you have several.
  • Right-click a note in the list to get Send options from the context menu.
  • Note shortcuts act on the window you are using. With a note open in its own window, ⌃⌘A archives only that note, and a share or link shortcut opens one share sheet or copies one link.
On iPad with a keyboard, shortcuts likewise act only on the window you are using.

Where each thing goes

On Mac or iPad with a hardware keyboard, press ⌘C to copy selected text while typing or searching. Otherwise, Cleft copies the current note using your automatic Copy Format, with Markdown as the fallback. See Copying Notes.
