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.
