Your brain isn't broken. Your to-do app is. Dump whatever's in your head (by voice or text) and Purgd sorts it into Today, Next, Someday, Reference, or a locked Vault. Automatically. Then it shows you what matters and stays quiet until you ask. No 47-item list staring you down. Features • Voice capture in under 2 seconds. Hold, talk, release -- Purgd extracts the urgency, date, and project in one step. • Today shows three actions. Picked by urgency, due dates, and your patterns. Not a wall of tasks. • Focus mode with a timer. It reads the task out loud. Finish one, the next appears. • Calendar aware. Reads your events, never writes to them. Packed day? Smaller tasks. • Locked vault. Biometric unlock. Your personal context stays on your phone. • Fully offline. Optional Pro backup is encrypted with your passphrase. We cannot read it.
