Tap record and say what's on your mind. BrainFlow writes it up as a proper note, with headings, the details you mentioned and a list of the things you said you'd do. It's made for the thoughts that turn up at awkward moments, like halfway through a walk or on the drive home from a meeting. Talk however it comes out. You don't have to sort anything. What you get back • A written note with a title and headings • Tasks pulled out of what you said, ready to tick off • The full transcript with timestamps, and the recording to play back • Speaker labels for meetings and interviews, so you can see who said what Finding it again Each note is titled, filed into a folder and tagged while it's written. Search looks for what you meant as well as the words themselves, so "school holidays" finds your half term plans. Adding to a note Record more into an existing note or import audio from Files, and BrainFlow rewrites the note from everything you've said. Sending it on Send a note or its transcript to Notion, email it to yourself, or share it anywhere with the share sheet. Your notes stay yours Recordings and notes are encrypted in transit and at rest, and there are no ads. You can start without an account and add Apple or Google sign-in later to open your notes on another phone. Deleted notes wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Pricing BrainFlow is free for 3 notes a month. BrainFlow Plus removes the limit.

About

MindSort

Read full description

MindSort turns your spoken thoughts into clear, connected notes. Simply start recording or import an existing voice note. MindSort transcribes it, organizes it, and connects it with related ideas so you can easily return to them at any time. Each note stays linked to the original recording, so you can always listen back to exactly what you said. WITH MINDSORT, YOU CAN: • Capture a thought the moment it comes to you or import an existing audio recording. • Automatically turn spoken reflections into structured notes. • Review and edit transcripts, titles, and note content. • Keep related ideas together instead of creating fragmented or duplicate notes. • Search by meaning, not just by exact words. • Chat with your saved notes using AI and ask questions about information, connections, or topics you recorded in the past. • Open the original recording directly from a note and listen to it again. • Delete individual recordings and notes, all journal content, or your entire account directly in Settings. MindSort works as both a personal journal and a space for organizing your thoughts and knowledge over time. Transcripts, titles, notes, and AI-generated answers are suggestions. You can review and edit their content at any time. Privacy Policy: https://mindsort.cz/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
