Stay on top of things, without holding it in your head. BrightMind is an assistant built for ADHD brains. It keeps your tasks, plans your day with you, reminds you, and calls you when it's time to begin. IT CHECKS IN ON YOU • A morning call that asks for your one thing today, at the time you choose • "Call me in ten minutes" and it does, to get you started or to see that you finished • Reminders that arrive as a notification or as a call, so nothing is missed • Urgent reminders ring like an alarm and keep ringing until you stop or snooze them • Ask once and it keeps happening: a daily check-in, a Friday review, a Sunday planning call YOUR DAY ON ONE SCREEN • Home shows today as a timeline: tasks, events and your morning and evening routines • Overdue pile? Tap it and clear it in one conversation, no guilt • Bedtime after midnight stays on today, because your day ends when you go to sleep YOUR TASKS LIVE HERE • Lists, subtasks, repeats and reminders, with every list in one Tasks tab • Already use TickTick, Todoist or Google Tasks? Connect it and BrightMind works on that list instead, with two-way sync • Google Calendar: finds open slots and plans around real meetings CAPTURE BEFORE IT VANISHES • "Buy milk tomorrow, and move the dentist to Friday": said once, filed with dates and lists • "Hey Siri, capture in BrightMind" from the Lock Screen, AirPods or CarPlay, and "Hey Siri, Brain Dump" on Apple Watch • Share a link, screenshot or photo from any app and BrightMind holds onto it • Control Center controls and Action Button support STUCK? ONE TINY STEP • "I need to clean my room but I can't start": a first step you can actually begin • One question at a time, no walls of text • Built for the moment when you know what to do and still can't start IT REMEMBERS YOU • No profile to fill in. Whatever you tell it or agree on, in a chat, a call or a brain dump, stays remembered • Every conversation starts from where you actually are, no recap needed IN YOUR LANGUAGE • The app and the assistant both work in your language • A natural voice that doesn't sound like AI, pick your voice and speed • Calm, distraction-free design WHAT USERS SAY "The proactive check-ins help keep me on track without being annoying." "It feels more like a digital assistant than just another chatbot." "That's what I was trying to make my Notion, my TickTick, my Siri, my Todoist do. None of them could."
