Braintoss
Capture thoughts to your inbox
USD 2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Braintoss captures a thought in seconds—type, speak, or photograph it—and sends it to your email or webhook destinations in one flow.
WHAT YOU USE IT FOR
• Voice notes transcribed and emailed
• Photos of whiteboards, receipts, documents, or business cards—sent with a useful subject
• Quick typed reminders and to-dos
• Share from Safari, Mail, Photos, and other apps into Braintoss, then send where you want
VERSION 10
Braintoss 10 is rebuilt as a native iOS app with a modern capture screen, clearer Settings, and steadier delivery and retries. Long-press Send (or Edit in History) to choose destination, subject, and optional message body before sending. Share extension and Apple Watch work with Quick or Advanced modes. Dark mode on the main screen. Optional on-device speech and image analysis for captions; sending uses secure connections to Braintoss’s delivery service.
PRIVACY, LOCAL-FIRST
Your captures go to the destinations you configure. App Store builds ship with optional usage telemetry turned off by default. Optional Help & Support Debug Mode can add context to emails you choose to send to support; logs stay on your device unless you share them.

Onboarding
Why am I being asked for camera, microphone, and location permission again?
v10 changes how voice recognition and sending are wired during onboarding, so the app may ask again for Camera, Microphone, and Location access. Privacy details are on the Braintoss website.
Basic use
What changed on the main capture screen?
The main screen starts in typing mode. Voice and photo open from the same screen (not three separate entry choices). Typed text can ship in one toss as typed text + voice or typed text + photo (separate paths; not “voice + photo” as one combined capture from this screen). Clipboard paste adds text and supported image attachments.
What changed in the photo flow?
Zoom is two-finger pinch (replacing the previous zoom control pattern). The flash toggle was removed. Tap Send sends immediately; long-press Send opens the send review bar (To, prefix, subject, message body).
What changed in the voice flow?
Recording can still complete if you are interrupted by a phone call. Long-press Send opens the same send review bar. Maximum recording duration is configurable in Settings; longer recordings increase the chance transcription or sending hits limits.
What changed for Share and Apple Watch?
Default Quick mode: one action sends to the default destination. Set Advanced for Share and/or Watch in Settings to review or change destination/message details per item.
What changed when sending, sharing, History, and Settings?
Sends can stay pending and retry automatically; the Home Screen badge waits through normal auto-retry windows; Advanced Settings → Pending queue lists pending work. Share-in is capture-first (stored first, then background delivery); large media can take longer than text. Long-press Send and History → Edit share one send review bar; Resend duplicates immediately, Edit sends a revised new item. Settings are reorganized; Your Braintoss groups Send to and Message Style.
Advanced use
What changed under the hood?
v10 replaces the prior iOS codebase and prior backend send path. The send service focuses on mail delivery; email compilation and related shaping run on the device.
Unique email address (classic) and webhooks
The classic unique email address feature is not included in v10. Webhook destinations (via Endpoints) deliver into systems that accept inbound webhooks (task managers and similar). For “unique inbox” style routing, some setups use automation services (Zapier, IFTTT, Make) with email and/or webhooks, depending on destination support.
Photo/voice email output
Subject/body rules were updated for typed, voice, photo, URL, and file captures. Invitation-like photos can attach .ics when date/time extraction is reliable. .vcf contact cards attach only when the image is classified as a business card and contact details are detected.
Support and networks
Optional Debug Mode can add send context to support emails you send; logs stay on-device unless you copy/share them. On managed Wi‑Fi, IT may need to allow send.braintoss.app and, if used, the fallback run.app hostname.
Footnote: Why there is no v9
v10 is a complete remake of the code and a replacement of the backend. After many years without a major update, versioning starts at 10 and v9 is intentionally skipped as a humble signal that a major refresh was due.

————
iOS update 4.0 of Braintoss releases new functions to improve capturing your thoughts.
If you are in another app on your phone and you run into something interesting or a reminder for a task you can then use the share function (the square box with an arrow going up) to share that item with Braintoss and it will be sent to your inbox without leaving the other app.
You can also start Braintoss in the same mode every time you open it. We noticed many users have a favourite mode they use most of the time (note or speech). This eliminates one more click (and every click less is a great improvement in our opinion :)
Are you capturing a document? Simply tap the document icon at the top left of the image capture and we will try apply image-to-text for that receipt or note. You will then receive the text in your email both as text and as a PDF attachment. This also helps searching for the note at a later time. Is the document a business card, then use the vCARD button to receive a digital business card with the email.
And much worth mentioning, the server side settings can change the format of the email you receive. This may help when sending your braintosses to systems like ToDo managers or accounting tools. To receive an instruction and a list of commands simply send a text note with the word Settings to yourself.
We hope you enjoy the new features look forward to hearing your suggestions how we can further improve Braintoss.
Happy Braintossing ;-)
