macOS 14+ · Free · No account required
Dump. See. Do.
From scattered to sorted in three steps.
Dump your brain
Get it all out
Open the brain dump. Talk or type — don't organize, don't filter. Just get everything out of your head before it disappears.
See it clearly
Watch the shape emerge
On-device AI groups your thoughts into themes. Cards appear on an infinite canvas. Drag them around. Connect them. See the shape of your thinking.
Get it done
Think and act on one surface
Turn any card into a checklist. Morph a sticky note into a kanban column. Your canvas becomes your action plan — no manual sorting required.

Built different
Every detail designed for your brain
For ADHD adults, visual planners, spatial thinkers, designers, founders — anyone who thinks better on a whiteboard than in a document.
Brain Dump + AI
Say everything in your head. Press one button. Your thoughts appear organized on a canvas. On-device AI — nothing leaves your Mac.
Talk, type, or paste. The AI finds the structure hiding in your chaos.
See it in action →Focus Mode
Too much on screen? Select one thing. Press Tab. Everything else fades. Walk connected nodes with arrow keys. Noise-cancelling for your eyes.
Infinite Canvas
No pages. No folders. Just space. A visual whiteboard that grows with your thinking. Connect ideas spatially with labeled edges.
Element Morphing
A sticky note becomes a checklist. A card becomes a kanban column. Thoughts change shape as thinking evolves.
Canvas Zones
Brainstorm zone for loose ideas. Action zone for your visual planner. Archive for what's done.
Just Start Typing
Empty canvas? Start typing. Every thought becomes a card. Zero friction between brain and canvas.
Your thoughts never leave your Mac
AI runs on Apple's Foundation Models directly on your hardware. No API calls, no cloud processing, no data sent anywhere. Your canvases are stored locally. Your thinking is yours.
