This app is now one of three that I use for brainstorming political articles for my WordPress blog. “Frictionless” is the operant term here—you’ll be up and running in a few minutes. I like the panel interface, the basic folder structure, the ability to move several notes easily from folder to folder. Most of all, perhaps, the ability to arrange and then merge notes into a larger file has become quite handy. To top it off, the share and export features make this a good starting point before sending off to a markdown text editor, in preparation for my blog publishing.UPDATED REVIEW, FEB 11, 2025:Just had an iCloud sync problem with the latest version. Notified developer and it’s already fixed, within a couple hours! FASTEST SUPPORT I BELIEVE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.UPDATED REVIEW, MAR 1, 2025:I’ve been trying out other “frictionless” brainstorming, mindmapping, and simple writing tools on the TOP PAID list on the App Store. I like mindmapping but often find it unnecessary for 5-12 paragraph essays. Since the final result is going to be linear anyway, coherence is mostly a matter of arranging paragraphs in the best order, with clear transitions between them.This BRAIN DUMP app has, so far, proved to be the most efficient and truly frictionless I have found for my Wordpress blogging workflow. My vision is not great, but I find both the fonts and font size adjustments quite convenient here. And when you finish brainstorming, you can arrange and merge your selected notes into one document. Then use the share sheet to share it to your favorite text editor or blogging platform.

Super clean minimalist UI, feels very native, I use Obsidian for study or extensive notes, and Brain dump for well.. brain dumping or temporary notes. A few suggestions:- Being able to open the app directly to the folders area, without creating a new note or opening an existing note, this will make this app 10/10- Collapsible headers & line divider for some basic structure - Dark gray option for dark mode (as opposed to true black) This app is great, I love the Mac app even more. The sticky note feature is extremely useful. Syncs super fast.

I rated this app 4 stars awhile back because I couldn’t format the text. But I provided feedback and the developer answered my request quickly. Thank you for that. Now rating it 5.
