Braintoss 4+

Great app for remembering

I guess i am in the recent minority, this app works great.
I send myself notes, pictures, voice recordings and have 3 different emails setup - work, home 1, and home 2. Not sure what the one reviewer was talking about when they said you cannot change the default email. I did.
My work emails automatically get flagged so they go directly on my To Do list. My home ones - Gmail and Fastmail for family and personal respectively - are easily “snoozed” for later reminders.
Works great for those looking for a digital inbox for collecting thoughts, tasks, somedays, and ideas in the GTD methodology.
Mind Like Water is easy with this app.
Thanks for making it.
If you do GTD, get this app.

Game-changing!

I’ve been experimenting for months trying to find a good system for collecting the loose thoughts that pop into my head, with little success. I had settled for a while on just keeping a note on my phone where i jotted all of them down, but i only ever thought to open that note when i was adding something to it (and then would see all the miscellaneous loose ends i hadn’t yet resolved, which was stressful to say the least).

I heard about Braintoss on David Allen’s episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, and downloaded it in a quiet hope that it would be the answer to my organisational prayers. Lo and behold, it’s been exactly that! The app has an appealing minimalist interface and is super easy/quick to use, which is a must for any app of this type. I toss thoughts into it the moment they arise and then immediately let go of them from my mind, knowing that they’ll be waiting and ready for processing when i do my email batching the following day. Braintoss has cleared up so much clutter from my brain and from my life, and for that it’s been well worth the price of admission! Thank you Braintoss 😄

Updated -Lives in my dock as perfect capture tool

UPDATE - I initially left a negative review for this app as it ceased functioning less than two days after purchase. However, that appears to have been a small glitch and it resumed working the next day and has had zero problems since then and does precisely what it promises to do.

This is a simple app and therein lies its beauty. It literally does one thing - capture your thoughts and get them out of your head and into your trusted system. I generally use it for text though it does pictures and voice as well. It now lives in my dock and I use it 12-15x each day. What I really like is that you simply use it then get on with your life - you could open an app like Todoist (which syncs with it perfectly) but then you would be sorting and filtering and potentially distracted. This is the equivalent of a notecard that you jot things down on that will never get lost and will be sitting in your email when you want to find it. Updating to five stars (Nov 2020).

Developer Response ,

🙏 Thank you Terry for your update.

Hi Terry, sorry to hear about your experience. Can you please update us is Braintoss is working for you now? A hiccup in the connection can always happen. It is software after all. But that is momentarily. And that is why we have a History. So you never really lose a thought and can resend it. We hope everything is working for you now?
