Your mind wanders. DriftNote follows. DriftNote is a lightweight notebook for people who switch tasks often and lose their thread. Drop a note the moment you step away — what you were doing, how you felt, where you left off. No folders, no formatting, no setup. Notes are grouped into a natural daily activity log, so your day takes shape without you organizing anything. WHY DRIFTNOTE • Built for ADHD-adjacent minds — capture context before it evaporates • Type or speak — voice notes are transcribed on-device, no cloud needed • Mood and emotion tags so you can spot patterns in how you feel • Lightweight tagging (Work, Personal, Health, Travel, Creative, and more) • Brain dump panel for thoughts that don't fit anywhere else • Gentle check-in reminders during your active hours • Light and dark themes that follow your system PRIVACY FIRST Your notes, voice memos, mood entries, and tags stay on your device. There's no account to create, nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is sold. Crash diagnostics and anonymous usage analytics help us improve the app — neither has access to your content. DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU THINK DriftNote isn't trying to make you more organized. It's trying to be there in the 30 seconds between leaving one task and starting the next, so you don't lose what mattered. A daily log for the wandering mind.

Whether you’re stuck on a decision, overwhelmed by a problem, or unsure where to start, Reasonly breaks everything down into simple schemes you can explore step by step. FOUR MODES FOR WORKING WITH THOUGHTS: PROBLEM SOLVING MODE Describe what’s bothering you. Reasonly helps you explore possible causes, which you can review one by one in a swipeable card view. Keep what feels relevant, skip what doesn’t, and build a visual map of the actual problem. Explore it and get advice from AI. PLAN MODE Know where you want to end up but not how to get there? Describe your starting point and your goal. You’ll get a step-by-step plan with subtasks you can check off as you go. CHOICE MODE Need options — which car to buy or where to go on vacation? Answer a few clarifying questions and get a visual scheme with options from Reasonly. Add extra details and criteria, explore the pros and cons. This scheme will help you figure out what actually works for you. COMPARISON MODE Weighing options but not sure what actually matters to you? Set your criteria, adjust how much each one counts, and get a ranked diagram that makes the choice clearer. VOICE INPUT Use voice input for a faster, easier experience across all modes. Reasonly instantly converts your speech to text — no typing needed. SAVE YOUR THOUGHTS FOR LATER All your sessions are saved in the app. Come back at any time to explore a breakdown further, revisit a decision, or pick up right where you left off. With Reasonly, no idea gets lost. Reasonly is a clarity tool for the moments when your head is full and you need help sorting through it.
