Metadata for documentary / run-n-gun work

Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum and hope I'm right here with my question:
I'm a documentary filmmaker/director who is doing more and more his own sound. I've experiences with a 788T and a 633 and was using the sound report feature. But while shooting I always wanted to add a marker to the exact TC in that moment, so that I'm able to review this marker later – after a long shooting day with long takes – and add notes to all the markers. This notes would be very helpful for postproduction.
I guess I'm not using the full potential of todays mixers/recorders. But maybe some of you guys are owning mixers/recorders and have experiences with more detailed metadata in a doc/run-n-gun typ scenario.

Thanks!

Maybe Ambient is currently developing what I was looking for:

I don't think that is creating several markers on a single take. I guess it is just using the "circle take" metadata, which is the only metadata you can add on the fly to mark a take as good one afaik. On the sound devices 6 series i used wingman app and press @ for marking a take. On the 7 series it was done in the FILE: view take list menu (you could even set it as bad take).

If you really need to mark during takes I guess you have to used some of the continuity orientated app working with TC and wifi, like the one by Ambient (but you need to use their Lockit): http://lockitnetwork.com/apps/

Otherwise, a Tentacle is cheaper and you can read the TC on your ipad via bluethooth, and I just read on their webpage that the app Movie slate is compatible. I do not know it but maybe check it out: https://www.movie-slate.com/

I think the Movie Slate App has a Script Supervisor option which allows the timecode to automatically be noted next to the notes as you write them into the app.
