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."

━━━ CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE ━━━

• Home screen widget — one-tap voice capture without opening the app
• Quick Settings tile — capture from any screen in one swipe
• Share to Brain Dump — send text, images, or links from any app
• App shortcuts — long-press the icon for instant capture

━━━ FEATURES ━━━

• Unlimited voice recording — no auto-cutoff, no time limit. You stop when ready.
• Voice transcription + full-text search — every thought is searchable instantly
• AI processing — choose Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or local Ollama. Your choice.
• Brain Web — your thoughts as a visual mind map. See connections you missed.
• Thought chains — continue and build on previous ideas
• Chat — freeform AI conversations. Save the good parts as thoughts.
• Image capture — camera or share photos into your thought stream
• Recording bookmarks — tap to mark key moments while speaking
• Confidence highlights — see which words the transcription is sure about
• Auto-backup & restore — encrypted, automatic, never lose your data
• Export — Markdown, plain text, JSON. Your data, your way, anytime.

━━━ YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS ━━━

• No ads. Ever. Your thoughts are never tracked, sold, or used to train anything.
• Anonymous usage stats only — off by default in the EU/UK, opt-out elsewhere (toggle anytime). Never your thought content.
• Thoughts never leave your device unless YOU choose an AI provider
• 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.

Voice capture is free. Brain Web is free. Export is free. Deleting your data is
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.
