A brain dump app that sorts itself
Empty your head in plain words. TaskWaffle files each line where it belongs, so you do not have to decide where things go first.
Why brain dumps help, and where they stall
Getting every loose thought out of your head and onto a page frees up attention. That is why a brain dump is one of the most common tips for ADHD overwhelm.
The catch is what comes after. A dump in a notes app becomes a second mess that still needs sorting, and sorting means deciding what each line is and where it goes. For many people with ADHD, that deciding is exactly the step that stalls.
How a brain dump works in TaskWaffle
- Type or say it in one go: "dentist friday 3pm, groceries 24, idea: a podcast about plants, call mum".
- Each line files itself: the dentist lands on Friday at 3pm, groceries becomes a spend of 24, the podcast an idea, and "call mum" a task.
- Dates and times are read the way you say them, such as "tomorrow 5pm" or "next tue".
- The sorting happens on your device, so it works offline and without the AI assistant.
- Not sure where something goes? Ask the optional assistant. It proposes a place and nothing is saved until you confirm.
- Paste a whole list from another app and every line is filed on its own.
After the dump: one next step
Once everything is out of your head, Home shows one next small step instead of the whole pile. The rest waits in its place, in your tasks, calendar, ideas or money, until you need it.
Questions
Do I need AI to use the brain dump?
No. Lines are sorted on your device by simple rules for dates, amounts and keywords. The assistant is optional and only helps when you ask.
Is the brain dump free?
Yes. Quick capture and the brain dump are on every plan, including the free plan after the 14-day trial.
Can I brain dump by voice?
Yes. Quick capture has a mic button. Say it, then let it file itself or ask the assistant where it belongs.
What if a line is filed in the wrong place?
Open it and change it like any other item; nothing is lost. If you would rather keep a dump together, choose Note before saving and it stays as one note.
