About Braindump

Braindump is a minimal capture tool built around relief rather than storage. You type everything on your mind without structure, then go through each thought one at a time and decide to act on it or let it go. What matters is saved and the rest is removed.

A Focus Mode lets you lock onto a single task with a timer once your head is clear. The site says content is end-to-end encrypted before it leaves your device, and that notes sync across devices so a thought typed on a phone is available on a laptop. You can start without an account.

Braindump is a hosted web service with a free tier and a paid Pro tier. The free plan offers unlimited idea capture, up to 3 notes, basic search, device sync and standard encryption, and Pro adds unlimited notes, advanced search and focus mode.
