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. ā–  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 — your thoughts are now somewhere safe. That's enough. ā–  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 ā–  Manual to-dos stay free Typing tasks the old way is, and always will be, free.

You don't need a perfect productivity system. You need one that survives the days when nothing else does.
