Brain Dump vs Perch

Your thoughts move fast. Brain Dump keeps up. You know that feeling. Ideas firing, mental to-do lists stacking up, half-formed plans dissolving before you can write them down. Brain Dump catches every thought before it disappears. Just talk. The app listens, extracts your tasks, and organizes them so your brain doesn't have to hold it all. TALK IT OUT, GET IT DONE Open the app, hit record, and say everything on your mind. Ramble about your day, rattle off errands, vent about that project you've been avoiding. Brain Dump pulls out the actual tasks from your stream of consciousness and turns them into a clear, actionable list. No formatting. No typing. Just talk. BUILT FOR HOW ADHD BRAINS ACTUALLY WORK Most task managers assume you already know what you need to do and have the executive function to type it in neatly. Brain Dump doesn't. It meets you where you are (scattered, overwhelmed, or mid-thought) and does the organizing for you. Here's what makes it different: VOICE-TO-TASK CAPTURE Speak freely and let AI extract tasks from your natural speech. Perfect for when typing feels like too much friction. AI TASK BREAKDOWN Staring at "clean the apartment" for three days? Brain Dump breaks big tasks into small, concrete steps so you actually know where to start. FOCUS BUCKETS (TODAY / TOMORROW / LATER) No complicated priority systems. Three simple buckets keep your attention on what matters right now without losing track of everything else. SMART NUDGES THAT ADAPT TO YOU An AI-powered header reads the room. It celebrates wins, suggests breaks when you've been grinding, gently redirects when you're stuck, and backs off when you need space. OVERWHELM DETECTION Too many overdue tasks piling up? The app notices and offers support instead of guilt. No shame spirals here. EMOTION CHECK-INS Quick, optional emotional pulse checks help you build awareness of your patterns over time. Track whether you're focused, tired, anxious, or riding a productivity wave. PLANNING REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE Choose morning planning sessions, evening reviews, or Sunday resets. Or pick "surprise me" and let the app find good moments. QUICK CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Thought popping up while you're on your task list? Grab it instantly with the quick capture bar without losing your place. DARK MODE Because hyperfocus sessions at 2 AM deserve comfortable lighting. EMAIL BACKUP & RECOVERY Link an email to restore your tasks after reinstalling the app or changing devices. No email is required to start. Brain Dump is the ADHD task manager for people who've tried every productivity app and given up. It doesn't ask you to fit into a system. It builds the system around the way your brain already works. Brain Dump includes a free plan with 10 Brain Dumps per month (up to 5 by voice), 10 task breakdowns, and unlimited task management and reminders. New users also receive 7 days of full AI access with no payment required. Brain Dump Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited Brain Dumps, voice capture, and task breakdowns. Weekly, monthly, and annual plans are available. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Too much in your head? Say it out loud. Open Perch and talk — in any order, half-finished, all over the place. Your thoughts land as cards and sort themselves on a live map while you speak: what's stuck, what's actually due, what can wait. A tangled head becomes something you can look at. The rest of life gets one tap too: a voice memo, a link, a screenshot, a stray thought. No folders. No tags. No system to set up and immediately abandon. Then, quietly, the second act: Perch brings things back. The idea you saved three weeks ago shows up right when it's useful. Related notes find each other on their own. Your saves start working for you instead of piling up. • Brain dump out loud — watch your thoughts take shape as you talk. • One tap to capture anything: voice, photo, text, link. • Untangles what's stuck from what's actually due. • Brings saves back at the right moment, not all at once. • Zero folders. Zero tags. Zero maintenance. Built for brains that capture everything and return to nothing. ADHD-friendly by design —useful for anyone whose head runs faster than their notes app. Your notes are yours, and protected.
