Too many thoughts at once? Give them sixty seconds.
BrainDrain is a 60-second brain dump for busy, anxious, or ADHD-wired minds. Type or speak what's on your mind, then sort it by what you can control. Make a plan when it helps, or let a thought go. No blank page, no pressure to turn every thought into a task. Your thoughts stay on your device or in your own iCloud.
HOW IT WORKS
• Drain: start the timer and pour it all out for 60 seconds. Type it or speak it. No prompts, no blank page staring back. Just a deadline. Let it all out.
• Sort: swipe each thought where it belongs. Within my control, need someone's help, outside my control, or just a happy thought.
• Act: turn a thought into a reminder or a calendar event, send it to someone who can help, or let it go for good.
BUILT FOR BUSY, ANXIOUS, or ADHD-WIRED MINDS
• One minute is the feature. Short enough to actually do, bounded enough to feel safe.
• Every thought gets a decision. BrainDrain doesn't file your worries away. Each one lands somewhere: an action, a person, or a deliberate letting go.
• Sorting by control is the calm. What you can act on becomes action. What you can't, you release.
BRAINDRAIN PLUS
Sixty seconds a day is always included. Plus is for the days that need more: unlimited drains, sixty more seconds when a thought needs the runway, your patterns read back to you by on-device intelligence, recurrence that spots what keeps coming back, progress by month and year, and your streak on your Watch and widgets. Everything stays on your device or in your own iCloud.
Plus is an auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple Account. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
YOUR THOUGHTS STAY YOURS
Everything, including the intelligence behind Insights, runs on your device. AI journals send your thoughts to a server to be understood. BrainDrain never does. Private iCloud sync, no account, no ads.
Give it sixty seconds.

Brain drain is super easy to use. With the timer it makes doing daily exercises more doable. The platform is very straightforward and user friendly. Would recommend to anyone who has found daily journaling to be overwhelming.
Developer Response
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying the app!
Finally, clarity!

It’s been so helpful for me to dedicate time to just clearing thoughts. I like the timer and the ability to sort it all out afterwards!
BrainDrain now fits iPhone Duo. Folded or open, flat or propped up like a laptop, the drain, sorting and your progress lay themselves out for the screen you're holding.
Also new:
• The timer is back in the top bar, leaving more room for your thoughts.
• The swipe guide no longer plays by itself. Tap the info button on the sort screen any time to watch it.
• The text box always stays above the keyboard.
• More of the app is translated.
