## Description

Braintoss captures a thought in seconds—type, speak, or photograph it—and sends it to your email or webhook destinations in one flow.

WHAT YOU USE IT FOR
• Voice notes transcribed and emailed
• Photos of whiteboards, receipts, documents, or business cards—sent with a useful subject
• Quick typed reminders and to-dos
• Share from Safari, Mail, Photos, and other apps into Braintoss, then send where you want

VERSION 10
Braintoss 10 is rebuilt as a native iOS app with a modern capture screen, clearer Settings, and steadier delivery and retries. Long-press Send (or Edit in History) to choose destination, subject, and optional message body before sending. Share extension and Apple Watch work with Quick or Advanced modes. Dark mode on the main screen. Optional on-device speech and image analysis for captions; sending uses secure connections to Braintoss’s delivery service.

PRIVACY, LOCAL-FIRST
Your captures go to the destinations you configure. App Store builds ship with optional usage telemetry turned off by default. Optional Help & Support Debug Mode can add context to emails you choose to send to support; logs stay on your device unless you share them.

## Review summary

Users praise Braintoss for its simplicity and GTD-friendly workflow: capture ideas quickly and have them sent to an email inbox, with support for multiple emails and automation. The iPhone and Apple Watch experience has improved, reinforcing its value for on-the-go capture. However, many reviews cite persistent reliability issues: messages queued or not delivered, and occasional cross-device bugs (iPad, watch). Some dislike the default email limitation and privacy concerns about data stored on servers. When functioning, it remains a strong productivity tool.

### Pros

- Minimalist, single-function design that makes quick capture and sending to email fast.
- Sends captures directly to the email inbox (often flagged automatically), which works well for GTD workflows.
- Excellent for capturing ideas on the go and organizing thoughts for later processing.
- Supports multiple destination emails and automation (shortcuts), plus integration with to-do apps.
- Apple Watch/iPhone integration is solid and reliable, making it a key productivity tool.

### Cons

- Frequent sending failures: messages can be queued, delayed, or not delivered even when the app shows 'sent.'
- Default email address can't be changed easily; you must set per-send and may miss messages.
- Cross-device reliability issues (works on iPhone but not always on iPad) and lingering watch/app bugs.
- Privacy concerns: data from sends is stored on the company's servers.
- Some integrations (eg, Microsoft To-Do) only work with Microsoft accounts; not universally available.
