Your head is loud. Brain Dump gives it a blank page. Open the app and the cursor is already waiting. Write the thing that's bugging you, press Return, and it's out of your head and saved. No category to pick, no priority to set, no folder to find. Sort it later, or never. HOW IT WORKS Drop it in Write a thought and press Return. It lands in a loose pile at the top, ready for the next one. A burst of ten thoughts takes ten seconds. Sort what's loose When you have a minute, tap Sort. Thoughts come up one at a time, as a stack of slips. One tap files each as an Idea, Task, Note, Inspiration, Question or Random. Flag the urgent ones. Mark what's already done. Undo anything. Finish things Tasks get a checkbox. Swipe to complete or delete, with Undo. Finished thoughts fold away into a quiet "done" line, so the page shows what's still on your mind. Find anything Search as you type. Filter by category, priority or #tag in one tap. Your full history is always there and always searchable. BUILT TO FEEL CALM - Your thoughts are set in a serif typeface, like writing on paper. The app's own controls stay out of the way. - Warm paper in light mode, a soft charcoal desk in dark mode. - A home screen widget puts your latest thoughts a glance away, and one tap puts the cursor on the page. - No streak guilt. The daily reminder is optional and written to be kind. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your thoughts live only on your device. No account, no sync, no one reading over your shoulder. Export everything to JSON or CSV whenever you like, and restore from a backup. FREE, AND GENEROUS Free forever: unlimited capture, all six categories and priorities, tags, pinning, daily reminder, full searchable history and export. BRAIN DUMP PRO Pro is the work the app does for you. - Open loops: questions you never answered and urgent things going stale, surfaced before they rot. - Your patterns: when your head is clearest, what you keep returning to, what you actually finish. - Echoes: the thought you keep having in different words. - On this day: old thoughts come back when they're useful again. - Your week: a short, honest read on what you captured and closed. - Photos on a thought, reminders on individual thoughts, and your own categories. Pro is available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Brain Dump is for the people whose minds run ahead of them: ADHD brains, busy brains, creative brains, anyone who's ever had a great idea and lost it by the time they found a pen. Write it down. Let it go.

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
