Writing brings clarity,
but it feels like homework.
Skip the homework,
use your voice.
The best thinkers write daily. Our reality: prepping meals, Netflix, kids yelling, office pings, and a credit card bill to review. Brain Dump is an easy alternative to doing nothing.
Lift your phone; talk. Your words appear instantly as coherent, formatted text, automatically titled, dated, and ready when you need it.
