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.

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.
