How do you capture ideas from coffee chats?

I'm a software engineer, mostly freelancing right now. A lot of my projects get talked through over coffee chats in person, and some ideas just show up out of nowhere when I'm out with friends. I also go to local events sometimes, like an AI workshop I went to last week. In moments like that I really want to save some interesting ideas and conversations.

But it's not always convenient to pull out my phone or carry a notebook around. So a lot of ideas that pop into my head are gone almost right away, and when I want to use them I can't remember a thing lol.

Is there an easier way to do this? How do you guys record your in person meetings?
