Too much in your head? Say it out loud. Open Perch and talk—in any order, half-finished, all over the place. When you’re finished, your thoughts become something you can look at. Brain dumps help make sense of what’s on your mind: recurring themes, things that feel tangled, and a small next move when there’s something worth trying. Some days bring a deeper reflection. Others are simply a moment worth keeping. The rest of life has a place too. Capture a thought, voice recording, photo, screenshot, drawing, or link. Save a video and get the gist. Add your own thoughts whenever something comes to mind. No folders. No tags. No system to set up and immediately abandon. Then, quietly, Perch brings things back. Saved notes resurface over time, and you can choose a date to bring something back yourself. With Perch Pro, related notes find connections, collections form automatically, and weekly recaps help you look back. • Talk it out with brain dumps. • Capture text, voice, photos, drawings, and links. • Keep your original words and recordings. • Find themes and useful next steps with Pro analysis. • Revisit saved thoughts through resurfacing. • Explore automatic collections, connections, and weekly recaps with Pro. Your first onboarding brain dump includes a full analysis. Continue capturing with Free, or choose Perch Pro for ongoing insights. Friendly by design—useful for anyone whose head runs faster than their notes app. Your notes are yours.
