Get it out of your head. Deal with it later. Brain Dump is a calm place for the thoughts that won't stop: the idea in the shower, the thing you can't forget to do, the worry that keeps looping. Type it and it's saved. No folders to choose, no setup, no account. CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION • One line at the top of the screen. Type, send, and the next thought can go straight in. • Add structure only when you want it: category, priority, #tags, a photo, a reminder. • A Home Screen widget takes you straight to a new thought. SORT IT WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE • Sorting mode shows one thought at a time. Tap a category and move on. A backlog clears in about a minute. • Swipe right to finish something, swipe left to delete it, and undo if you slipped. • Pin what matters to the top.
