How the iPad and Mac layout works

Find your way around the sidebar, notes list and editor, and hide what you do not need.

  • iPad
  • Mac

On a bigger screen BrainDump shows several columns at once.

What you see

  • A narrow icon rail: “Write”, “Freewriting space”, “Background sounds”, your profile and Settings.
  • The folders and tags sidebar, with “Recent notes” and “Pinned notes” at the top.
  • The notes list.
  • The editor.

Make more room

  1. Tap the sidebar icon to hide the folders sidebar.
  2. Tap the arrows icon in the editor bar for “Full screen” (editor only). Tap it again to come back.
  3. On Mac, drag the thin lines between columns to resize them. BrainDump remembers the widths.

Good to know

  • On iPad the sidebar slides over the list, and closes when you pick a folder.
  • Shortcuts for the three modes are in Keyboard shortcuts.
