Brain Dump is a voice thought capture app for ADHD brains, autistic minds,
and anyone whose ideas move faster than their fingers can type.
One button. Speak. Done.
No setup. No onboarding. No menus. Open the app, tap the bubble, start talking.
Brain Dump records, transcribes, and processes your thought with AI before it
disappears.
━━━ WHY VOICE ━━━
Typing is a cognitive tax. For people with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or
fast-moving thoughts, opening a notes app, picking a folder, and typing a title
is enough friction to lose the idea entirely. Brain Dump removes every step
between "I had a thought" and "the thought is captured."

• Run AI 100% locally with Ollama — no cloud, no API keys, no cost
• API keys stored encrypted on-device only
• Export everything, delete everything, no lock-in
━━━ DESIGNED FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS ━━━
Brain Dump is built for ADHD brains, autistic users, and anyone failed by
"productivity" apps that demand more than they give back. The interface is calm,
dark, and quiet — amber on void — because your eyes deserve a break. Every
design choice reduces friction, never adds to it.
━━━ NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. ━━━
Most voice note apps charge $8–30 per month. Brain Dump doesn't.

free. No trial timer. No bait-and-switch.
Pro unlocks AI processing, Chat, image capture, and all future premium features.
One purchase. No recurring fees. No subscription. Period.
Other apps rent you your own thoughts. Brain Dump lets you own them.
One button. Speak. Done.
