Brain Dump for ADHD
Read full descriptionHide full description
BrainSort is a brain dump app for ADHD minds. Talk for 20 seconds โ messy, out of order, half-finished โ and watch it sort itself into tasks, events, notes and lists while you speak. Then it turns the task you keep avoiding into a first step small enough to actually start. TALK IT OUT, IT SORTS ITSELF โข Brain dump out loud or by typing โ messy is fine โข Live sorting into four lanes: Tasks, Events, Notes and Lists โข Natural dates: "call the dentist on Wednesday" lands on Wednesday โข Groceries and packing items become a list on their own TASK PARALYSIS, BROKEN โข Big task โ concrete first steps โข Still stuck? Break any step down again, into 2-minute micro-steps โข Focus timer: one task on screen, nothing else โข Day close: see what you actually did, not what you didn't โข Streaks that forgive: a freeze saves a missed day PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. Your notes stay on your iPhone, and sorting works offline on any iPhone. Where Apple Intelligence is available, the on-device model makes it sharper โ the app never depends on it. Optional cloud help: only if you allow it, the text of a tangled dump is sent to a secure server where Claude (by Anthropic) re-sorts it. We don't keep it and it isn't used to train AI. Turn it off anytime in Settings. BRAINSORT PRO Your first brain dump is free. BrainSort Pro unlocks everything: unlimited capture and breakdowns, breaking steps down again, Calendar & Reminders and Visual Modes. Plans: monthly, or annual with a free trial; or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. If you start a free trial, we remind you 2 days before it ends (with notifications on). Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID's Subscriptions settings. BrainSort is a focus and organization tool, not medical treatment. It does not diagnose or treat ADHD. Terms of Use (EULA): https://brainsort.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://brainsort.app/privacy
Vividly

Most to-do apps tell you WHAT to do and WHEN. Vividly tells you WHY, because for an ADHD or autistic brain, a plain reminder is easy to ignore. The hard part isn't knowing the task exists. It's starting it. Vividly is a gentle, shame free task assistant built around one idea: every task comes with a motivating "why" that meets you where you are. MEET PIP Pip is your calm coach inside the app. Pip writes short, supportive nudges, helps you plan, breaks overwhelming tasks into tiny first steps, and stays with you when things feel like too much. No nagging. No guilt. Just a steady voice that helps you begin. HOW IT WORKS Add a task, tap "Generate a Why," and Pip writes a motivating prompt in the tone you choose: Reward, Empathetic, Practical, Momentum, or Playful. Not feeling it? Tap "Try Another" for a fresh angle. Reminders arrive with the why attached, so the nudge actually lands. BUILT FOR EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION - Brain Dump: pour out everything on your mind and let Pip turn it into clear, scheduled tasks. - Break It Down: turn a daunting task into 3 to 5 tiny steps you can actually start. - What Should I Do Now: beat decision paralysis as Pip picks one task that fits your energy and the time of day. - Focus Timer: gentle, distraction free work sessions. - Daily Check In: tell Pip your energy level and the tone adapts, softer on hard days. - Morning Brief: a calm spoken summary of your day, read aloud. - Quick Wins: knock out tiny tasks to build momentum. - Permission to Drop: a monthly, judgment free review of tasks it may be okay to simply let go of. SUPPORT THAT FITS YOUR LIFE - Companions: invite a trusted partner, parent, or friend to see your tasks and gently help, with read only or full access, your choice. - Family plans: shared seats for people you live with, each with their own private tasks. CALM BY DESIGN Soft colors, low visual clutter, and no streaks shaming you for an off day. Vividly is built to lower the cost of starting, not pile on pressure. PLANS - Free: up to 10 active tasks and 25 AI motivations a month. - Basic: unlimited tasks, 2,000 AI motivations, 1 Companion. - Companion: everything in Basic, plus 3 Companions. - Family: shared seats for 3 or 5 members, each fully private. Free to start. Upgrade anytime. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Vividly won't fix executive dysfunction, nothing does. But it can make the next small step feel a little more possible. And some days, that's everything. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you: support@bromanderglobal.com Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
