Your to-do list has a lot of demands for something that has never done the laundry. Scatterbrain is a sarcastic, ADHD-friendly task planner for getting things out of your head and actually doing something with them. Capture the chaos, figure out what matters, and find a way to start—without making productivity your new unpaid job. **GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD** Brain Dump lets you type it or say it out loud. Save the thought before another one barges in and changes the subject. Give your tasks priorities that sound like actual human reactions: THE ONE THING, DO IT NOW, UGH FINE, and EVENTUALLY. Finally, an official category for the sigh. Add checklists when a task has steps. “Sort everything out” could probably use a little more detail. **START WITHOUT THE COMMITTEE MEETING** Can’t choose? Chaos Mode gives you one task at a time. Do it or skip it; the next one follows. The rest of the list can wait its turn. Already know what needs doing? Focus Mode puts one task and a timer on screen. Drift off, come back, carry on. Nobody is conducting a performance review. Running on very little? Bare Minimum offers ready-made tiny tasks for low-capacity days. You don’t have to turn “put a cup away” into a personal development journey. **REMEMBERING EVERYTHING IS A TERRIBLE SYSTEM** HEAD START warns you ahead of time. Because a reminder at the exact moment something starts is sometimes just breaking news. Vague Window lets you schedule something for “sometime this afternoon.” Some tasks need a general timeframe, not an appointment with the precision of a rocket launch. REPEAT OFFENSE handles recurring tasks. Apparently, finishing the laundry does not finish the laundry. We’re annoyed too. **SOME DAYS NEED LESS APP** When everything is too much, Panic Mode puts the tasks aside for two minutes of something small. You do not need a motivational speech on top of everything else. When today needs to be over, WIPE TODAY archives the unfinished stuff and resets the day. No exit interview. The Afterlife gives abandoned tasks somewhere to go. You can revisit them without keeping every old intention on today’s list. There are no streaks to break, guilt notifications, leaderboards, or digital pets depending on your attendance. Miss a day and come back when you’re ready. You do not owe your task app an apology. **FREE SHOULD ACTUALLY BE USEFUL** Chaos, Focus, and Panic Mode are free. Permanently. Getting unstuck is not a premium privilege. Free also includes Brain Dump, checklists, priorities, and standard reminders. You can capture tasks, choose what matters, and get on with doing them—not just admire a collection of locked buttons. Pro adds Smart Chaos, which picks your next task based on where you are and what time it is. You also get location reminders, Vague Window scheduling, stacked HEAD START warnings, and unlimited voice dumps. The extra help costs money. The way out of a bad day doesn’t. Scatterbrain works offline and syncs when you’re back online. Made by two people in Košice, Slovakia. You don’t need to get your whole life together before you can start. Let’s just do one thing.

Stashwise is the second brain your AI can actually use. You already collect the good stuff: articles, videos, posts, ideas, tutorials, research, tools. But it piles up, disappears into folders, and goes missing the moment you need it. Worse, none of it is available to the AI tools you work in every day. Stashwise fixes both. Save a link, video, or note, and it pulls out the useful parts for you: summaries, key takeaways, topics, connections, and learning paths. Everything you keep becomes a structured, searchable personal wiki. Then it goes further than a notes app ever could. Connect your AI tools, and they can read and search everything you have saved, right inside your own workflow. You choose what goes in, so your assistant is grounded in sources you actually trust instead of whatever the open web returns. You are building the knowledge, and putting your AI to work on it. Collect what matters. Your AI uses it anywhere you want. - What you can do: - Give your AI your knowledge Connect Stashwise to your AI tools so they can draw on your saved library while you work, grounded in what you collected, not random web results. - Search your own collection Ask questions and get answers from the things you saved, not the open web. - Chat with your saves Understand articles, compare ideas, pull out details, and make sense of a messy collection. - Create Learn Guides Turn saved material into structured learning paths built from resources you already found interesting. - Analyze videos Save supported videos and clips so they become searchable, summarized, and easy to revisit. - Build a personal wiki automatically Stashwise extracts topics, summaries, and relationships without making you tag everything by hand. - Catch relevant trends See emerging topics that connect back to your saved knowledge, so new ideas are easier to place. - Own your knowledge Your wiki is never locked in. Export to Markdown or Obsidian, keep a local backup, or bring your saved context into your own workflows. Your notes, your wiki, and your AI should all be able to use the knowledge you already collected. - Who it is for Stashwise is for builders, students, researchers, creators, and curious people who save more than they can process. If your bookmarks, notes, and watch lists are a pile you meant to come back to, Stashwise turns that pile into knowledge you and your AI can actually use. Collect the knowledge. Put your AI to work on it. Grow a brain you own. Terms of Use (EULA): https://stashwise.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://stashwise.co/privacy
