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.

Lull turns rain, ocean waves, wind and pure noise into a soundscape you mix yourself — the calm, private way to fall asleep, focus, or block out the world. Everything plays on your device, fully offline. There's no streaming and nothing ever leaves your iPhone or iPad: no account, no tracking, no ads, no network. It keeps playing with the screen locked, and a sleep timer fades it out gently so it won't play all night. MIX YOUR OWN SOUND - Layer rain, ocean, wind, a stream, a fan and white / pink / brown / blue noise - Fine-tune each layer's volume for the exact blend that sends you off - Save your favorite mixes and bring them back with one tap SLEEP & FOCUS - Sleep timer with a smooth fade-out - Lock-screen and background playback with play / pause controls - A calm full-screen night clock for the nightstand (great on iPad) PRIVATE BY DESIGN - 100% offline - works in airplane mode, on a plane, anywhere - No account, no sign-in, no data collection - nothing leaves your device - Localized in 9 languages FAIR PRICE Sleep apps love subscriptions. This one doesn't. A single one-time purchase unlocks multi-layer mixing, the full sound library, saved mixes and longer timers - forever. No subscription, ever.
