Start talking. We'll figure it out after. Most planners ask you to organise your thoughts before you can write them down. That's the exact step an ADHD brain finds hardest. My ADHD Dump removes it — you just talk, and the app does the sorting. HOW IT WORKS Tap SPEAK and say whatever's in your head. Groceries, a half-formed idea, the thing you keep forgetting to tell Maya, how the day actually went. Ramble. Repeat yourself. Trail off. When you stop, your dump is turned into: • Tasks and events, with dates picked out of what you said • People, places and ideas, linked into a mind map that grows on its own • A reading of how the day felt, in your own words Nothing to file. Nothing to tag. A CALENDAR THAT REMEMBERS FEELINGS, NOT JUST APPOINTMENTS Every day gets a colour from what you dumped. Open a month and see the shape of it — the steady stretches, the frayed weeks, the quiet ones. Tap any day for what you said and what was on. A Year in Pixels turns twelve months into one page. Not a score. Just the year, honestly. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN YOUR TIME Set a reminder on anything with a date and it shows up when it should. BUILT TO BE FORGIVING A blank day says "nothing dumped this day", not "you broke your streak". A day with feelings and no tasks is a feelings-only day. No guilt. The streak is there if it motivates you and ignorable if it doesn't. Your dumps are yours. Delete your account and everything goes with it, from inside the app, in two taps. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Free: three voice dumps a day, forever. The mind map, the calendar, the year view and reminders all work on the free tier. My ADHD Dump Pro — 25 voice dumps per day.

Diaryx is your very own "papers project"---a place for the most important documents in your life, so they can be kept safe, transcribed, annotated, and safely shared with friends and family. IF DIARYX DISAPPEARED, YOU WOULD LOSE NOTHING Your files are stored as readable plaintext on your device. You don't need an app to view them or understand them. So, your files stay yours. CIRCLES: SHARE WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE Mark any page with a circle, such as "family" or "friends." Share with them a filtered view of your papers. Invite one person at a time. The person you invite does not need an account or app—only a link to your website. THEY WRITE BACK Any reader, given access, can sign in and leave a remark on a page: a note, a highlight, a correction, a memory of their own. BORROWED FROM ARCHIVISTS Libraries and archives use techniques to keep documents trustworthy across generations. Diaryx brings that to the scale of one family. - FIXITY: Diaryx records a fingerprint of every attachment, so damage from a failing drive or a bad sync can be detected immediately. Entries themselves are kept in a content-addressed history, and can be fingerprinted too by turning on Content checksums in Settings. - HISTORY: Every save can be kept as a snapshot, and every circle gets its own history containing only what its readers were shown. Forgetting something removes it from every history that quoted it. - EMBEDDED METADATA: Each file contains its own metadata, which means a document is never separated from its most important information. - POLYHIERARCHY: Arrange the same collection by year, person, place, or any arbitrary thing, without moving a single file. One archive may have many different ways to look at it. - SELF-REPAIRING: Detect issues with your files on-demand (such as fixity drift) and choose to fix it either automatically or manually. Note: Diaryx does *not* currently automate backups or automatically scan your files for issues. It is recommended to regularly do the following for best possible outcomes for your files: - Backup your folder via the Files app to a variety of locations - Run Check Library (in Settings) to detect sync or bitrot issues. DIARYX PLUS — $4.99/MONTH Closest, Family, Friends and Everyone, with their own diaryx.org address, are included free. A Diaryx Plus subscription allows you to share up to 50 circles, publish up to 10 sites, and use custom domains. Diaryx Plus is an auto-renewable subscription, $4.99/month. It includes 100 GB of photos and files, synced or published (free accounts get 1 GB), photos and files up to 100 MB each (free accounts get 10 MB), up to 10 published sites (free accounts get 1), up to 50 circles to share them with (free accounts get 1, with Closest, Family, Friends and Everyone counting as one), and up to 10 custom domains (free accounts get none). Writing and reading in Diaryx are free and need no subscription, and the text you write never counts against storage on any plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. - Terms of Use: https://diaryx.org/terms.html - Privacy Policy: https://diaryx.org/privacy.html
