The BrainDump editor with a Japan itinerary note and nothing else on screen
Sandro BotticelliThe Birth of Venus (detail), c. 1485

Built for your brain

Not for folders and filing systems

A Freewriting page called Morning thoughts, written without a title, folder or tags
Jean-Honoré FragonardYoung Girl Reading, c. 1769

Never lose a thought again

Your brain doesn't wait for you to open a folder and pick a category. Neither does BrainDump. Dump it the instant it hits, before it's gone for good.

A clear head, on demand

No popups, no sidebars, no decisions to make. Just a blank space that empties your head the second you need it to.

The Share link dialog saying only you can see this note, with Can view and Can edit options and a Make public button
Johannes VermeerWoman in Blue Reading a Letter, c. 1663

Private until you share it

Every note starts private, visible only to you. Share one only when you choose, and decide whether people can view it or edit it.

Everywhere your brain is

iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro and any browser. Start a thought on one, finish it on another, without thinking about syncing at all.

Write first. Sort it later.

The whole app is built around one habit: get it out of your head now, decide what it is later.

  1. The Freewriting pages list with Morning thoughts, Newsletter draft and Random ideas

    Dump it

    Open BrainDump and type. No title, no folder, no decisions. The thought is safe before it fades.

  2. A Packing list note with three items checked off and four still to do

    Sort it, if you want

    When you have a minute, file notes into folders, add tags or turn a list into checkboxes. Skip it and nothing breaks.

  3. Ask it anything

    Ask a question and get an answer from your own notes, with the sources listed underneath.

Loved by users

“Worth its weight in gold. Finally got me to switch from Apple Notes when I found this one. You can do so many things with your notes. You can convert them into a business-style report. You can make them into a quiz. Turn them into Flashcards. Interrogate your notes (ask questions and receive answers). Love this!”

EmmaMuhleman · Mac, App Store

“BrainDump has proved to be the most efficient and truly frictionless I have found for my Wordpress blogging workflow. My vision is not great, but I find both the fonts and font size adjustments quite convenient here. And when you finish brainstorming, you can arrange and merge your selected notes into one document.”

SammyDuck · iPhone, App Store

“This app is minimal but brilliant. In chaotic world on these days, I am always finding peace, simplicity and calmness and this is what I am looking for, it has no distraction and annoying stimulus, neat UI and functionalities.”

Supershapeman · iPhone, App Store

“Finally, a notes app that gets how my brain works. It's simple, fast, and doesn't overwhelm me with features I don't need. I can quickly write down thoughts before they vanish. Highly recommend.”

NovaAndrew · Mac, App Store

“Super clean minimalist UI, feels very native, I use Obsidian for study or extensive notes, and Brain dump for well.. brain dumping or temporary notes. This app is great, I love the Mac app even more. The sticky note feature is extremely useful. Syncs super fast.”

MalloryKnoxxxx · iPhone, App Store

“Clean, simple, great functionality and the developer is quite amazing when it comes to updating and listening to users & their suggestions. Never going to use another note app. This is the all in one for me! Thank you for your great work!”

Francesco Leoni BrainDump developer and creator

Built by someone who understands

As someone with ADHD, I've struggled with every note app that forced me into rigid structures. So I created something different something that works with my brain, not against it.

Every feature is designed around real ADHD challenges: racing thoughts, task switching, and the friction of "organizing" notes.
