Voice. Photo. Text. One sticky-note board. Pulp turns the way you actually think into a board you can act on. Speak a quick thought, snap a whiteboard, paste a long email. Pulp uses AI to split it into atomic sticky notes, spot deadlines, and remind you before they slip. Every note stays on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Just paper, ideas, and a way to keep them moving. WHAT MAKES PULP DIFFERENT โ€ข Capture by voice, photo, file, or just type. Each input goes through AI that gets meaning before structure. โ€ข Long thoughts decompose into atoms. One stream of voice becomes one sticky per idea, action, or decision. Stop scrolling through walls of text. โ€ข Smart Reminders find deadlines for you. Say "cancel Adobe before May 15" and Pulp offers a notification at the right time. No manual scheduling. โ€ข Daily Triage. An optional evening review walks you through the day's captures so the board stays sharp instead of becoming a graveyard. โ€ข Ask AI. Type a question. Pulp pulls the most relevant notes and answers using their context, not the open internet. โ€ข Sticky-note metaphor that respects how brains work. Color, position, hand-placed feel. Everything visible at a glance, not buried in folders. PRIVACY THAT IS ACTUALLY PRIVATE Pulp does not ship analytics. It does not fingerprint you. It does not have a backend that stores your content. The only network call is the one your AI capture asks for. AI providers cannot train on your content. You can revoke access any time. PRICING Free: capture without limits, plus a small daily AI allowance. Pulp Pro Annual: $29.99 / year. Unlimited AI, Smart Reminders, Daily Triage, bulk operations, full export. Pulp Pro Lifetime: $79.99 one-time. Same as Annual, plus bring-your-own AI provider key. New installs include a 14-day Pulp Pro trial automatically. No card required. GREAT FOR โ€ข Knowledge workers who think faster than they can type โ€ข Voice-first thinkers who hate transcribing meetings โ€ข Anyone with too many tabs and too many half-formed ideas โ€ข People who tried "second brain" tools and bounced because the setup was the project QUICK START 1. Tap the dot to capture any thought, by voice, photo, file, or text 2. Pulp's AI sorts it into atomic sticky notes on your board 3. Smart Reminders catches deadlines without you setting them 4. Daily Triage at night keeps the board sharp and useful The board is yours. The notes are yours. The AI just helps you see what you already meant to do.

Mac Version Website โ†’ bullet.overio.space - Bullet is a focused outliner for structured thinking. - Most ideas do not begin as finished documents. They start as fragments: a sentence, a question, a few scattered points. Bullet helps those fragments grow into structure. You can create branches, nest ideas, collapse details, focus on a section, and shape your thinking before turning it into writing, plans, research notes, or product ideas. - On iPhone, Bullet gives you a clean, portable outline workspace for capturing and organizing thoughts wherever they happen. Your outlines sync with Bullet for macOS through iCloud, so you can continue working across devices. - Bullet is useful for: - Capturing ideas and messy notes - Building article, video, course, or presentation outlines - Breaking down product ideas, requirements, and decisions - Organizing reading notes, research threads, and project context - Turning complex problems into expandable branches - Core features on iPhone: - Nested outline editing - Fast branch creation, indentation, folding, and reordering - Focused navigation through branches - Markdown-style text support - iCloud sync with Bullet for macOS - A calm interface for thinking in structure - Bullet for macOS also supports AI-assisted workflows for expanding, organizing, and rewriting outlines. The iPhone app focuses on capture, editing, navigation, and sync. - Bullet is not a generic notes app. It is a thinking space where ideas start as branches, then gradually grow into finished work.
