MindWander · Brain Dump

Walking thoughts pile up unread. MindWander catches them mid-walk and shapes them into a to-do, a journal entry, or an essay you can actually ship today. For ADHD adults who think by talking — writers, founders, builders, knowledge workers who walk-and-talk because that's how the thought wants to happen. The bundle nothing else ships: → One-tap capture from your Lock Screen, the Action Button, or your Apple Watch. No "open the app first." Catch the thought before it leaves. → On-device shaping by Apple Intelligence. Your audio never leaves the phone. Transcripts sync via your own private iCloud — never a server we own. → Pick your shape per walk: to-do (verb-led, 1–7 items), essay (title + paragraphs + a pull quote), journal (loose mirroring of your voice). Tweak the instructions — your shape, your words. → ADHD-paced playback. Tappable transcript chunks. A one-line "past-me intent" at the top so you know what the walk was about without re-reading the whole thing. → Sunday recap (optional). What you've been thinking about — your top threads, your own voice. What you avoid: • No subscription. $34.99 once. Lifetime really means lifetime. • No cloud account. No login. No tracking SDK. • No "AI-powered" buzz. The model runs on your iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Older iPhones still capture and read transcripts; on-device shaping needs the newer chip. • Family Sharing on — share with your household at no extra cost. For the AudioPen / Letterly user tired of the subscription: $99/yr → $34.99 once. Same custom prompts. Same multi-shape output. Plus the iOS-native capture surfaces — Lock Screen widget, Action Button binding, Apple Watch standalone. For the Voice Memos user staring at 50 unread recordings: The recording was the easy part. The hard part is the structured thing you'd actually use. That's what we do. — — — Made by Hyojinmo. Solo build, no VC, no growth team. Every email at support@vibeland.app goes to a real person.

You do not need another plan. You need the next thing. GAVEKI takes what is in your head and gives you one clear move to start on. Not a schedule to build. Not a system to maintain. One thing, and then the next one. It is for people who know exactly how much they have to do and still cannot start — the overloaded, the stuck, and anyone whose brain works this way, including people with ADHD. HOW IT WORKS 1. BRAIN DUMP. Type it or say it, in any order, however it comes out. No categories, no priorities, no due dates. Gaveki turns the mess into a plain list you can check before anything lands. 2. CHOOSE TODAY’S THREE. Not everything. Three for today; the rest waits in Later without nagging you. 3. GET ONE NEXT MOVE. Gaveki picks one thing and tells you why. If it is too big, make it smaller. If you are stuck, say so. 4. FOCUS. Start it, with a timer if you want one — five minutes counts. Nothing else on the screen. 5. DONE. Mark it, and the next move is already there. WHAT ELSE IS THERE • RESCUE ME, for the days you cannot even look at the list. Say what is in the way and one thing comes back — never the list again. • Morning and evening routines, kept apart from your tasks, with reminders that arrive on time. • Progress you can look back on: what you finished, streaks, a weekly review. • Come back after a week away and nothing scolds you. A run of days that ends simply stops being shown; you are never told you broke it. • Sign in with an email link. No password to remember. • A calm, quiet design that works in the dark too. GAVEKI PRO Free is enough to see that Gaveki works — the whole loop, every day. Pro is for the rest of the day: every time your head fills up again, Gaveki is still there to decide what you do next. Pro also adds separate workspaces (work, home, that project), custom routines, and a coach that talks in the voice you choose. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID, renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your App Store subscription settings. Restore Purchases is in Settings. GAVEKI is a focus and productivity tool. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
