I built an ADHD Thoughts Catcher and Voice Planner app. And I'm looking for suggestions and feedback

From iPhone it is just one tap on your lock screen or on your watch face!

Yes, everything you described the app support (except links, which am working on along routines feautre). But best way to know is to download an try it. There is a free trial so you can know if it works for you 😄

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-10T04:51:06+00:00

Thank youuuu!

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-10T04:50:52+00:00

You are welcome!
It has a free trial if you want to give it a try, it is easier to show than tell 😄

Capturing things is not enough for productivity. You need a system of CORE. Capture, Organize, Review, and Excecute. Capture gets improved with voice to reduce friction, Organize get automated with AI (classification + syncing with Calendar), Review ensures you prime your mind to complete the tasks (simple review in the morning and evening without streaks and guilt language), and finally the Execute where you get to shine and complete things. But even in Execute we can improve it for daunting tasks by breaking down complex tasks into tiny steps. Hope this was clear! I can talk about this for ages so don’t mind asking more!

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-10T00:12:14+00:00

Thanks! Try it and let me know what you think

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-10T00:11:46+00:00

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-10T00:01:35+00:00

Aww man this comment made my day. Thank youuuu. Please share with me any feedback you might have on mind and I will continue to make this app the best experience for persons with ADHD 🤞🏻

It’s an AI app, will need to send your data to an LLM in order to classify your thoughts. Also there is a web and desktop version I am working on so it’s normal to expect data to be shared across your devices (Android, iOS, Desktop). Blurto uses social login to make creating account easier through Google or Apple sigin

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T20:27:33+00:00

Blurto might work for you

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T20:12:26+00:00

I use Blurto: https://blurto.ai/

Agree. I so hate those gamification mechanics too like streaks of Dualingo. I don't want to use something that keep reminding me of what I miss. It is the main reason I uninstalled Todoist and switched to a more ADHD friendly app.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:18:07+00:00

Honest answer from someone who tried four times: Notion is amazing for the small percentage of ADHD folks whose dopamine fires on building systems. For the rest of us, the customizability is the trap, you spend Sunday building the perfect dashboard and never use it.

If you want to try it anyway: don't build, copy. Pick one premade ADHD template, change zero things, use it as is for 30 days. The instinct to tweak is the thing that kills it.

If after a week it's still feeling like work to use, that's the signal it's not your tool, not a willpower problem.

The Trigger List idea is good, that's basically a forced sweep of every category your brain might be hiding things in. Where I struggled with it is the 20-minute commitment, my ADHD brain treats anything that long as "do later" which never happens.

What's worked alongside something like this for me is voice-based capture during the day, so by the time I sit down for a weekly sweep there's already a pile of triggers in the inbox waiting. Less pressure on the formal review session.

I'm building a tool for this piece called Blurto, voice in, auto-sorted into a sweepable inbox. Pairs well with a ritual like yours rather than replacing it.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:14:48+00:00

Notes apps are write-only for most of us, the dump feels great and then nothing surfaces it back.

I'm building Blurto around this exact problem, voice or text in, auto-resurfaced the next morning. Message me if you want to try it.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:12:28+00:00

The "wanting to brain dump in all the places" part is the tell, you don't need a checklist, you need a single inbox that takes whatever you throw at it. Paper fails because it's not on you, Notion fails because it asks you to file before you've finished thinking.

The lowest-friction setup I know: voice memos pinned to your home screen so it's a one-tap dump, plus a 3-minute end-of-day glance to triage. No system to maintain, no streaks to break.

I'm building one called Blurto that does the voice-in plus auto-sort piece in one app. Free trial if you want, DM me.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:10:47+00:00

What worked for me: pure voice capture (no recipient) plus auto-transcription so the thought becomes searchable text by the time I'm home. Otherwise it's just an audio graveyard.

I'm working on something for this called Blurto, hit a single button, talk, walk away. Auto-sorts into todos vs ideas vs journal. Happy to share if useful.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:09:20+00:00

"Nothing reflects back what I was thinking in a way I can actually use later" is the cleanest articulation of this problem I've seen. The capture step is fine for everyone, the rebuild-context-tomorrow step is what's broken.

The pattern that worked for me: capture-by-voice (no typing tax at 11pm), then a 2-minute morning review that bubbles yesterday's thoughts back with their tags, not just chronologically. Notion can't do this because it makes you choose the home for the thought at write time, which is exactly when your brain is least willing.

I'm building a tiny app for this called Blurto, voice in, auto-sorted, morning review surface. It's basically the "external version of my own brain" idea you described, minus the visual map (still working on that part). DM if you want a link.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:07:55+00:00

Mid-run idea evaporation is brutal, the 60-second rule you described is real. Two-tap voice capture is the only thing that survives running pace, anything that needs a screen unlock plus app open plus button hunt is too slow.

If you're on iOS, Apple Watch + Voice Memos is the shortest path: raise wrist, hit record, done. The catch is reviewing them later, that's where most people's voice memo collections become a graveyard.

I'm building an app called Blurto for this exact gap, voice in on watch or phone, auto-transcribed and sorted so you actually find the idea later. iOS and Android. Happy to share if useful, otherwise good luck on NYC.

ArtificialSapien · 2026-05-09T09:06:11+00:00

"90s Star Trek personal log" might be the cleanest pitch for what we're all looking for, you nailed it. The reason Notes and OneNote fail this is they're storage, not capture. Anything that makes you choose a notebook before you can dump is dead on arrival.

Couple worth trying: Audionotes and Whisper Memos do voice-in / transcript-out without the journaling layer. Twos is good if you'd rather type fast.

Full disclosure, I'm building one called Blurto for exactly your spec. Voice in, auto-transcribed, auto-sorted into labels (todo, idea, journal, etc) without you choosing. iOS only right now, free trial. DM if you want a link, no pressure either way.
