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."

About

Later Pro

Later is a voice-first reminder app built for the moments when you can't look at your phone — especially in the car. Say one ordinary sentence, the way you'd say it to a person, and Later works out what you meant and when you meant it, saves it before the words have finished, and gets out of the way. No unlocking your phone, no typing, no digging through a list — just talk, and Later remembers. HOW IT WORKS Speak naturally: "Remind me to call the plumber tomorrow morning." "Put the bins out tonight." "Pick up milk when I leave work." Later's parser understands ordinary phrasing — times, dates, places, and the vague words people actually use — entirely on your device. Nothing you say is sent to a server to be understood. WHAT LATER UNDERSTANDS • Explicit times and dates — "at 5", "next Tuesday", "the 28th of March" • Relative phrases — "in 20 minutes", "in a fortnight" • Vague words, made yours — "tonight", "later", "soon" and "in a bit" all resolve to real times, and you can teach Later exactly what each one means to you, or add your own phrases entirely ("after the school run" can mean 3:30pm, if that's what you actually say) • Places — "when I get home", "when I leave work", or anywhere else you name • Recurrence — "every Tuesday at 8", "every weekday", "every month" • Actions — say "call Dave" or "text Sarah" and the reminder arrives with a one-tap Call or Message button already attached BUILT FOR DRIVING, NOT JUST TOLERATING IT • CarPlay — speak a reminder from the car's own screen, no phone needed • "When I park" — fires the moment you switch the engine off, so the thought lands exactly when you can act on it • Home and Work arrival triggers — "call Mum when I get home" does exactly that • Confirmations are spoken back to you, so nothing needs reading while you drive NEVER LOSES A THOUGHT Every reminder is saved before any confirmation appears — if your phone died mid-sentence, the reminder would already be safe. Anything Later isn't sure about is flagged for a one-tap fix, never dropped. Repeating reminders roll forward instead of disappearing, gentle follow-ups nudge you if something's still outstanding, and everything you complete stays logged so nothing quietly falls through. STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY • Lock Screen widget and Dynamic Island show what's next without opening the app • Tag and search your reminders once the list gets long • Attach a reference photo so "sort the garage" still makes sense next week • Export any timed reminder straight to your Calendar • Share a reminder with family so an errand doesn't get done twice PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no server. Everything you capture stays on your device and, if you choose to enable iCloud sync, in your own private iCloud account — never on a server we run. Speech is transcribed on-device wherever your iPhone supports it. Say it. Forget it. Later remembers. — Later Pro unlocks CarPlay voice capture, "when I park" reminders, and Home/Work arrival triggers. Everything else — capturing reminders by voice, natural-language times, repeats, tags and Calendar export — is free forever. Later Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription: • Monthly — £1.99/month • Yearly — £14.99/year Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings.
