Swachhata vs Later? Brain Dump Notes

The Swachhata-MoHUA is the official app of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), GOI. The app enables a citizen to post a civic-related issue (eg; a garbage dump) which is then forwarded to the city corporation concerned and thereafter assigned to the sanitary inspector of the particular ward. The app has been built by IChangeMyCity – a division of Janaagraha, a Bengaluru based non-profit working to improve the quality of life in India’s cities and towns. How does it work? Take a picture of the Civic-related issue using your smart phone, and post it in one of the following categories. ・Garbage dump ・Garbage vehicle not arrived ・Dustbins not cleaned ・Sweeping not done ・Dead animals ・Public toilet(s) cleaning ・Public toilet(s) blockage ・No water supply in public toilet(s) ・No electricity in public toilet(s) The app will capture the location while the picture is being taken. Just type in the landmark of the complaint location. The complaint will then be assigned to the concerned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also vote up on any other complaint relevant to you. You will get regular updates on the ​status of the complaint in​ the form of a push notification with the ‘Resolved’ image uploaded by the assigned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also reopen the complaint if you are not satisfied with the resolution of the complaint.

Every other brain dump app keeps your thoughts. This one deletes them. If you have ADHD, you already know the failure mode. You dump everything out of your head into an app — and now the app is the problem. A hundred half-thoughts you will never read, sitting there, quietly accusing you. So you abandon it and start a new one. Later? is built the opposite way. Thoughts come in, get acted on, and leave. In 14 days anything you didn't act on deletes itself. Automatically. Without asking you. If it mattered, you'd have done it. That is the entire design. SPEAK IT IN THREE SECONDS Tap the mic, say the thought, done. From the lock screen widget it's one tap. No title, no folder, no tag, no project, no due date. There is nothing to set up and nothing to maintain, because there is nothing to maintain. IT ALREADY KNOWS WHAT THE THOUGHT IS FOR Later? reads each thought on-device and points it at the right place: • Something to look up → your search engine • A place someone mentioned → Apple Maps • Something to buy → Google Shopping or Amazon • A show or film → YouTube • Someone to email → Mail, composed • Just a thought to get out of your head → held, no action needed One tap fires it. One tap clears it. That's the loop. THE LIST CANNOT GROW This is not a notes app and it is not a task manager. Nothing accumulates. Items auto-purge after 14 days, and the queue you open tomorrow is shorter than the one you closed today. No weekly review. No inbox to process. No backlog to feel bad about. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Voice transcription runs entirely on-device with Apple's Speech framework. No analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party SDKs — none at all. No account, no sign-in, no server. It works fully offline, forever, because there is nowhere for your thoughts to go. WIDGETS Home screen widget shows your oldest thought and clears it without opening the app. Lock screen widget opens the mic in one tap. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK — NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION Capture, clearing, plain thoughts, widgets and weekly stats are free forever, with 5 smart actions a day. Later?

No subscription, ever. Later? is not a treatment and makes no medical claims. It is a capture tool built for people whose working memory drops things. From Tidy Apps — also makers of Had it?, the ownership memory tracker.
