Braindump is a voice-first notes and reminder app for people who think faster than they type. Tap record, talk, and your voice memo becomes a clean note with a title, a short summary, your to-dos and a scheduled reminder. Say "remind me tomorrow at 4 PM to call the pharmacy" and the reminder is set for you, at the time you said. No calendar, no typing, no second app. WHAT IT DOES • Voice memo to text in seconds, in 59 languages, including Standard Arabic and 16 Arabic dialects • A title, a short AI summary and your to-dos, written for you • Reminders set from the dates and times you say out loud • Speaker labels for lectures and meetings: see who said what, and tap a label to rename it • Every note filed into a category on its own • Import audio and video files (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV and more) and turn lectures, interviews and meetings into text • Edit and highlight transcripts, add checklists and photos, search every note • Share a note as text, as audio or as a link • A Live Activity while you record, and a home screen widget with your streak, latest reminder and open to-dos YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR PHONE There is no account to create. Your audio is sent to our servers only to be transcribed, and the finished note is stored on your device, not in the cloud. You can record without internet; the transcript arrives once you're back online.
