Choose what you see when BrainDump opens
Start on a blank note, your last note or your folders, so you can write the moment the app opens.
BrainDump can open ready to write. You decide what shows up first.
- Tap the face icon, then “Settings”.
- Find the “Home” section.
- On iPhone, under “Open the app”, pick “On a new note”, “On the last note” or “To the folders list”.
- On iPad and Mac, use the “Continue from last note” toggle instead.
- Optional: “Default folder” sets where new notes go.
- Optional: turn on “New note on app launch” to start with a blank note every time.
