braindump: messy notes, sorted

Lotl Labs

About this app

I built Braindump for my girlfriend and I, because our notes get chatoic fast. Turns out a lot of other people's do too

Every other notes app wants you to make a decision first. which folder, which list, which label. That tiny bit of friction is exactly where thoughts go to die. So Braindump works the other way around.

ONE SPOT. DUMP EVERYTHING.

Type it exactly how it comes out: "milk, eggs, dentist tuesday 3pm, idea for mom's birthday". Braindump splits it apart and files every piece where it belongs. Groceries on the grocery list, the dentist in your schedule with the date already on it, the idea safely with your ideas. You don't organize anything. It just stays organized.

MADE FOR ADHD-ISH BRAINS (MINE INCLUDED)

• Capturing a thought takes about three seconds...before it evaporates
• No folder decisions, no setup homework, no "workspace" to configure
• It learns the way YOU think. File something somewhere once and it remembers that's where your stuff like that goes
• Gentle on purpose: undo for everything, no streaks, no guilt screens, no notifications nagging you
• Wrong guess? Tap, move it, done. It gets better every time

NO AI. ON PURPOSE.

The sorting is instant, works offline, and behaves the same way every single time. Clear rules, not a language model. Your words are never uploaded anywhere to be "understood".

YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS

• Local-first: by default everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, fully offline
• Optional sync if you want your notes on more than one device — sign in with email or Google, encrypted in transit and at rest, locked to your account, delete it any time. Skip it and Braindump never touches the network
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking. With or without an account
• One-tap backup export — your data stays yours

ALSO IN THE BOX

• Checklists and to-do cards, whichever way your lists think
• A schedule view for anything with a date or time
• Recurring lists that reset themselves
• Light and dark themes with quiet, paper-like backgrounds

If you've ever texted yourself a grocery item, emailed yourself an idea, or lost a genuinely good thought because opening the "right" app took too long — this is the one place all of that goes.

Get it out of your head. It'll be in the right bucket when you come back.
