Walking thoughts pile up unread. MindWander catches them mid-walk and shapes them into a to-do, a journal entry, or an essay you can actually ship today. For ADHD adults who think by talking — writers, founders, builders, knowledge workers who walk-and-talk because that's how the thought wants to happen. The bundle nothing else ships: → One-tap capture from your Lock Screen, the Action Button, or your Apple Watch. No "open the app first." Catch the thought before it leaves. → On-device shaping by Apple Intelligence. Your audio never leaves the phone. Transcripts sync via your own private iCloud — never a server we own. → Pick your shape per walk: to-do (verb-led, 1–7 items), essay (title + paragraphs + a pull quote), journal (loose mirroring of your voice). Tweak the instructions — your shape, your words. → ADHD-paced playback. Tappable transcript chunks. A one-line "past-me intent" at the top so you know what the walk was about without re-reading the whole thing. → Sunday recap (optional). What you've been thinking about — your top threads, your own voice. What you avoid: • No subscription. $34.99 once. Lifetime really means lifetime. • No cloud account. No login. No tracking SDK. • No "AI-powered" buzz. The model runs on your iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Older iPhones still capture and read transcripts; on-device shaping needs the newer chip. • Family Sharing on — share with your household at no extra cost. For the AudioPen / Letterly user tired of the subscription: $99/yr → $34.99 once. Same custom prompts. Same multi-shape output. Plus the iOS-native capture surfaces — Lock Screen widget, Action Button binding, Apple Watch standalone. For the Voice Memos user staring at 50 unread recordings: The recording was the easy part. The hard part is the structured thing you'd actually use. That's what we do. — — — Made by Hyojinmo. Solo build, no VC, no growth team. Every email at support@vibeland.app goes to a real person.
