Your brain is full. Overflowing, actually. It wasn't built to remember everything. That's why ZenDump exists. Random thoughts at 2am. Tasks you swore you'd remember. Ideas that deserve better than a forgotten sticky note. Sound familiar? ZenDump is the AI-powered second brain that understands how humans actually think - messy, scattered, brilliant, and overwhelmed. Just dump everything here. I'll handle the rest. THE MAGIC OF DUMPING Forget structured input. Just pour it all out. "Call mom tomorrow also need to book flights oh and that podcast idea with Sarah and remind me when I'm near her place and don't forget milk and the proposal is due Friday…" Done? AI reads your mess and pulls out every item. Tasks go to tasks. Reminders get scheduled. Ideas land in ideas. All categorised. NEW: SAY IT, AND IT'S HANDLED - MEET ZENIE Dumping gets it out of your head. Zenie gets it done. Ask in plain words - "find three plumbers near me, email them for a quote, and tell me who's cheapest" - and Zenie runs the whole thing: research, emails sent on your behalf, bookings, reminders, and follow-ups. It waits for replies, negotiates back and forth, and reopens the job if plans change. Nothing leaves your phone without your OK - or switch on Autopilot and let it run. Set Routines to watch prices and hunt deals in the background. FEATURES Zenie Say what you need and it's handled end to end - research, outreach emails, bookings, reminders, follow-ups. You approve what matters. Brain Dump Voice or text. Dump fifty items in one rambling paragraph - AI parses and categorises everything. AI Planning Mode Describe any goal - "Plan a trip to Japan" or "Launch my side project" - and AI generates a complete action plan with tasks, priorities, and structure. Planning Canvas A full visual whiteboard on your phone. Sticky notes, connectors, freehand sketching, and diagrams with 6 tools. Plan Sharing Share plans with your Circle or email them to anyone, and view plans shared with you in your inbox. Connected Threads Group tasks into projects like "House Moving" with milestones, progress tracking, and one-tap templates. Live Activities & Dynamic Island See tasks, focus timers, and reminders on your Lock Screen - and mark tasks done from the Dynamic Island without opening the app. Focus Mode (With Teeth) Pick 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes with timed breaks and haptic nudges. Quit a locked session early? Solve puzzles first. Notes That Work For You Rich editor with wiki-style [[links]], backlinks, folders, and PIN lock. Tap once on meeting notes - AI extracts every hidden task. Email-to-Dump Forward any email to your ZenDump address. AI reads it, creates the tasks, confirms back. Mind Mirror AI analyses your dumps to reveal hidden patterns, emotional cycles, and your peak hours. Life Wrapped Spotify Wrapped for your brain - animated slides of dumps, tasks completed, and your productivity superpower. Procrastination Intelligence See when, why, and on what you procrastinate, with strategies based on YOUR patterns. Torture Mode Escalating reminders until you complete it. Starts polite. Doesn't stay polite. Circle Invite friends, family, colleagues. Assign tasks, track completion, and see everyone's mood with Circle Vibes. Calendar Sync & Location Reminders Tasks sync with iOS Calendar. Set reminders that trigger when you arrive at or leave a place. Rituals & Zen Mode Guided morning steps - Hydrate, Stretch, Breathe, Journal, Plan, Affirm - plus guided breathing with ambient sounds. THE PHILOSOPHY Most productivity apps treat you like a robot. But your brain thinks in spirals and tangents and "oh wait, one more thing." ZenDump works with your humanity. Dump everything. Let AI organise it - and let Zenie handle it. Lock in when you need focus. Get support from your Circle. The mental load ends here. Download ZenDump. Finally breathe.
