MindWander · Brain Dump
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
DopaDo

Built for ADHD brains, not against them. Shrink any habit to a two-minute start, get the win, and keep streaks that forgive you. Forgot to tap yesterday? Mark it done — it still counts. If every other habit app has made you feel like a failure by day three, you're not the problem. They're built on willpower and perfect streaks. ADHD brains run on something else: a tiny start, an instant reward, and zero shame when life happens. JUST START — BEAT TASK PARALYSIS Every habit shrinks to a 2-minute version. "Go to the gym" becomes "put your shoes on." One big button. Starting is the whole goal — and once you start, momentum does the rest. WHAT NOW? — ONE HABIT, PICKED FOR YOU Some days the list itself is the obstacle. Tap once and DopaDo picks the single habit to start right now, from your own history on your own device: a streak at risk first, then the one you usually do around this hour, then whichever is quickest. It always tells you why it chose that one. GOALS THAT FIT THE HABIT — 8 GLASSES, 20 MINUTES, 3 PAGES Not every habit is a single tap. Give one a number and DopaDo counts with you — 3/8 on the habit, on the widget, on your Lock Screen — and the day completes when you get there. THE DAY YOU FORGOT STILL COUNTS Did it but never tapped it? Open the habit, tap that day, done. Your streak counts it, and a Streak Freeze you spent on it comes back. No begging, no penalty. INSTANT DOPAMINE — REWARDS YOUR BRAIN CAN FEEL Finish anything and you get a real hit: a satisfying sound, a happy buzz, confetti, and points that tick up. No waiting weeks for a payoff your brain can't picture. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE YOU Miss a day and a Streak Freeze covers it, automatically. Build a streak and you earn more of them. Life happens; your progress shouldn't evaporate because of one bad Tuesday. YOUR WEEK, YOUR DAYS Not every habit is a daily. Set the weekdays each one runs, and the days it's off simply don't count against you. Rest days are rest, not failure. WIDGETS AND SIRI Check a habit off from the Home Screen or Lock Screen without opening the app. Ask Siri "what now in DopaDo" and it will tell you what to start. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No servers. Every habit, every streak and every insight lives on your device and nowhere else. Your patterns are analysed on-device, by your phone, for you. DOPADO PLUS The free app gives you four habits and everything above. DopaDo Plus adds unlimited habits, the Insights screen — your patterns, your best hours, your real completion rate — and a companion that grows with you. DopaDo Plus is an auto-renewing subscription: $6.99/month, or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
