Tired of holding it all in your head? Mindrop is a voice-first to-do app for brains that don't run on neat columns. Tap, speak whatever's swirling around, and AI turns it into clean tasks โ€” with dates, times, and priorities already filled in. โ–  Speak it. Mindrop sorts it. Dump everything at once: "dentist tomorrow at 3, slides by Thursday, milk on the way home." Mindrop splits that into three tasks, sets the times, and lines them up for you. โ–  Built for ADHD and HSP minds Some days, writing things down takes energy you don't have. Mindrop won't shame you for that. Talk out loud โ€” your thoughts are now somewhere safe. That's enough. โ–  Key features - Tap-and-speak recording - AI extracts dates, times, and priority - Multi-task brain dumps split automatically - Subtask suggestions - Smart notifications and reminders - Apple Watch app (record straight from your wrist) - iPhone and iPad support - Dark and light themes โ–  Manual to-dos stay free Typing tasks the old way is, and always will be, free. Upgrade to Mindrop Pro for unlimited voice recordings and automatic grouping of related tasks. โ–  Privacy Your audio is used to build the task and then it's done. No ad tracking, no profile selling. You don't need a perfect productivity system. You need one that survives the days when nothing else does. Mindrop is built to be the lightest possible friction between a thought and a task. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/privacy/ MindDrop offers auto-renewing subscriptions (MindDrop Pro Monthly and Yearly).
