Too many thoughts at once? Give them sixty seconds. BrainDrain is a 60-second brain dump for busy, anxious, or ADHD-wired minds. Type or speak what's on your mind, then sort it by what you can control. Make a plan when it helps, or let a thought go. No blank page, no pressure to turn every thought into a task. Your thoughts stay on your device or in your own iCloud. HOW IT WORKS • Drain: start the timer and pour it all out for 60 seconds. Type it or speak it. No prompts, no blank page staring back. Just a deadline. Let it all out. • Sort: swipe each thought where it belongs. Within my control, need someone's help, outside my control, or just a happy thought. • Act: turn a thought into a reminder or a calendar event, send it to someone who can help, or let it go for good. BUILT FOR BUSY, ANXIOUS, or ADHD-WIRED MINDS • One minute is the feature. Short enough to actually do, bounded enough to feel safe. • Every thought gets a decision. BrainDrain doesn't file your worries away. Each one lands somewhere: an action, a person, or a deliberate letting go. • Sorting by control is the calm. What you can act on becomes action. What you can't, you release. BRAINDRAIN PLUS Sixty seconds a day is always included. Plus is for the days that need more: unlimited drains, sixty more seconds when a thought needs the runway, your patterns read back to you by on-device intelligence, recurrence that spots what keeps coming back, progress by month and year, and your streak on your Watch and widgets. Everything stays on your device or in your own iCloud. Plus is an auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple Account. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. YOUR THOUGHTS STAY YOURS Everything, including the intelligence behind Insights, runs on your device. AI journals send your thoughts to a server to be understood. BrainDrain never does. Private iCloud sync, no account, no ads. Give it sixty seconds.

Hello! Physio Exercise Tracker helps you do - and track - your physio exercises. In fact, any physical therapy exercises. I found it difficult to motivate myself to do my exercises, so I created this app to help me. Then I thought it might help you too, and so I made it better and then available to all. Please use it and tell me what you think and how it can be improved. It's my first app, so be gentle! With the app you can: • create exercises with sets/reps/comments/cues • add your own video of you doing the exercise (ideally filmed by your physio, doing it correctly), or add web links like a YouTube demo • add a schedule for each exercise, with reminders • log when you've done an exercise, with optional detail (pain, difficulty, and notes or questions for your physio) • show and/or send your physio a clear report of your exercise log - pain and difficulty trends for each exercise, a session-by-session breakdown, and any notes you've added. They can properly treat you then • set your next physio appointment and get a countdown to it... • organise your exercises into programmes, review your history on a calendar, and back up your data • even change the text of your reminder message to something more "motivational" for you And it's completely private: everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking. Your physio data is nobody else's business. Warning: to encourage you to do your exercises when you should and to give your physio an accurate report, you can only log an exercise as done on the day you do it. No backdating! OMG. Evil but effective - like many of the best physios. Finally, I've included my Top Ten Tips for actually doing your exercises. My favourite is number 5. Do you have any suggestions? Physio Exercise Tracker does not offer medical advice. It simply helps you do and track your exercises.
