Brain Dump Page
“One big box to empty my head into, then sort it.”
Empty your head onto a page, then give every item exactly one decision. With the sleep-lab study that says to do it at bedtime — 57 people on polysomnography fell asleep faster after writing a to-do list — and the 2025 meta-analysis that kills the explanation everybody gives for why it works.
- Type it all in one per line; bullets stripped, blanks skipped, duplicates ignored
- Five buttons per item and nothing else: do now, next step, waiting, not now, not mine
- Makes you name the physical next action, which is where lists usually rot
- Bedtime mode, following what the sleep study actually found helped
- Exports as a tidy sorted list for wherever your real to-do list lives
- This one is finished and tested — not on the build list
- It will be $9, same as every other tool
- One email when it goes up, no list, no spam
Three steps, then you're done
Fast, unedited, one thing per line.
Which of the five it is. That's the part that does the work.

Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.
I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?
The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
