Your thoughts are overwhelming you. You need to get them out - fast, before the spiral takes over. Unburden is the app for ADHD and anxious minds that turns racing thoughts into clarity. Speak your brain dump, sort what matters, and actually let go of what's been looping. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY WORKS Not another to-do list. Not a meditation timer. Unburden meets you where the real problem starts: the moment your mind gets too loud. HOW IT WORKS 1. DUMP - Speak or type whatever's in your head. No structure needed. No judgement. Just get it out. 2. SORT - Three pots help you see what needs action now (Urgent), what can wait (Later), and what needs to be thought through (Process). 3. PROCESS - For thoughts that need more than a task: guided CBT questions help you reframe, challenge thinking traps, and work through what's actually bothering you. 4. RELEASE - When you're done, you release the thought. Not buried in a list. Gone. FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS Designed for ADHD and anxiety. No complex setup. No system to maintain. No 47-step Notion template. Just open, dump, sort, release. FEATURES - Voice recording with AI thought extraction - Type instead of speaking - for when words come easier that way - Three-pot sorting: Urgent, Later, Process - CBT-guided thought processing - Thought history archive - 3 thoughts per month included free. Unlimited with a subscription. - Cancel anytime. Your brain will thank you.
