Your head is full. This gets things out of it. Brain Dump is built on one idea: capturing a thought should cost nothing. No folders to choose, no category to pick, no form to fill in. Open the app, type the thing, done. Structure comes later — or never, if you don't need it. CAPTURE IN ONE TAP The capture bar sits at the top of the screen, always ready. Type a thought and it's saved. Add #tags as you write and they become filters automatically. SORT IT LATER, IN SECONDS Thoughts you capture quickly land in Triage. One tap files each one as an idea, task, note, question or inspiration. A week's backlog clears in under a minute. FIND ANYTHING Full-text search across everything you've written, including answers and tags. Filter by status, sort by date or priority, pin what matters to the top. SWIPE TO CLEAR Swipe right to complete, left to delete — with undo, so a mistake costs you nothing. Long-press for edit, duplicate, share and pin. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync of your private thoughts. Export the whole lot to JSON or CSV any time, and restore it just as easily. — BRAIN DUMP PRO — Free covers capture completely. Pro is for what the app can work out from what you've written: ECHOES The thought you've had five times without noticing. Brain Dump spots thoughts you've written more than once, even in different words, and shows you how long you've been circling. OPEN LOOPS Questions you asked yourself and never answered. Urgent things quietly going stale. Surfaced before they rot. YOUR PATTERNS When your head is clearest, what you keep returning to, how long things take you to finish — and whether marking something urgent actually makes you do it faster. WEEKLY REVIEW Your week in fifteen seconds: what you captured, what you closed, what's still open, and one thing worth a look. ON THIS DAY Old thoughts come back when they're useful again, instead of when you go digging. Plus photo attachments, per-thought reminders, and custom categories. — WHAT STAYS FREE, FOREVER — • Unlimited capture • All six categories and priorities • Your full history, always searchable • Tags, pinning and daily reminders • Export everything, any time We don't lock you out of your own writing. Pro buys you what the app does for you, never access to what you wrote. Pro is available monthly or yearly with a free trial. Cancel any time.

The weight of your life load is so much more than a to-do list. Every unfinished task, pending conversation, and lingering worry lives rent-free in your mind — creating pressure that scrambles your focus and stresses your recall. Talioop gives you a place to see and manage all of it within a single view. See what's really on your plate. Talioop renders every open loop as an arc on a single radial sunburst — your whole mental load on one screen. Bigger arcs are bigger areas of life; stacked arcs categorize where thoughts reside. Pinch to zoom, drag to rotate, double-tap to recenter. The longer something has been open, the more it stands out. Capture in seconds — type or talk. Tap the bar at the bottom of the plate and write a sentence ("Reply to Sarah," "Book flights," "Worried about taxes"). Or hold the mic and dictate — Talioop transcribes your voice with Whisper and turns it into a loop. Cmd+K focuses capture from anywhere. Voice commands that manage, not just capture. Say "close book flights," "mark Mom waiting on me," "add Reply to Sarah under Work" — Talioop parses the intent with Claude and runs the action across your existing loops. Compound commands work in one breath. "Undo" reverses the last move. AI sorts itself. Every new loop is auto-typed (task, worry, idea, habit, person, event, organization, tool, or one of your own custom types) and auto-parented under the most relevant existing area of your life. A 2-word label is generated for the arc so the chart stays readable as it grows. Loops can wait on each other. Mark something "waiting on Bob" with a free-text note and stop re-checking it every day. Closing a parent cascades closure down its whole subtree. Stale loops surface themselves. Anything you haven't touched in two weeks rises to a stale-loop nudge so nothing rots silently in the back of your mind. Closure that feels like closure. Tasks burst into confetti when you check them off. Events tear off the calendar like a page being ripped away. Closing matters — research shows open loops consume working memory even when you're not thinking about them. A list when you want one. Switch to the list view for a vertical checklist of every open loop, filtered by type, with per-type counts at the top. One-click checkbox closes the loop. Real-time across every device. Sign in with Apple, the web app, or any other device — edits appear everywhere within a second. Talioop isn't another to-do app. It's a cognitive offloading tool built for people who think deeply, don't want to over commit and want to finally be organized with clear direction. --- EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://app.talioop.com/privacy
